Winter Dark Deliverance

Let it be known


Myself and Chet Hardwick have traveled to Winter Dark, together, to retrieve and secure items from the library to prevent them from being taken and / or destroyed given the possibility of such actions occurring. We can assume some of the more rare tomes in Winter Dark have been packed up in crates and moved to the County of Loez, specifically Alieander. If not I am wrong such permissions had been granted by both Lord Aleister and Count Sebastian.

The Count’s associates met with both Chet and myself in Alieander and had taken the collected from us.
The tomes will be transported to Palindor.


Our efforts were successful for Travance and the people of Arawyn.

Zanthios,

I am sorry that I could not help with this endeavor this moon. I have however hooked in my apprentices and students to your intents and you should see our aid very soon.

Additionally In our capacity as coordinators for the Travancean chapter of the Kormyrian Mages' Guild, Tyr and Myself will be working on mobilizing the Guild in the war. We should, next moon, be able to throw the full might of a battalion behind noble pursuits such as yours in this dire time.

Thank you for your daring. Be safe and well, travel lightly and preciously.

--Mantel Warrane

P.S. We should next see if we can't get those tomes from Alieander to Palindor as well. As an aside, I hope a similar expedition is carried out for the Sanctus Luminarium in Glangsdale, the Grand Cathedral of Alieander, and the main Mages' Guild.

Mantel,

In whatever pursuit you and Tyr may instruct your
affiliates to take I advise to act cautiously and wisely. For the sake of what is right and for the protection of knowledge accumulated by The Mages Guild perhaps a more peaceful approach would be best.

My journey with Chet could be perceived as a good example as we have secured items and maybe have reduced the possibility of ill use of them.

Vigilance should perhaps remain consistent concerning us all.


To you and the guild I offer my council.

Watching each other's back the whole way, it didn't ever feel like we were daring at all. No sweat needed but ours lugging our weight in books.

--Chet

P.S. Am I supposed to sign these things with my new title?

The majority of the Baronial Guard of Travance is helping to hold Winterdark. My hope is, though the books are safe now, that your task will ultimately have been unnecessary. No siege will break these walls with us here.

Damien,

This is War. The divine Free Will of Mortal kind will surmount any obstacle. The Heroic Soul will surpass any limit, given determination and opportunity. Gaaldron has both existentially wild variables on their side, just as we do.

Never grow so complacent as to see the Mountain as infallible. For you will one day watch it erode to the fatal throes of those you took most for granted.
