The magical torches in the Thayan enclave cast a golden light under the door of the small room which the servants live in. A man, with a messy tangle of hair writes in a small book which seems as dingy as the cloths he is wearing.
Sister,
I hope this first letter finds you well. I am writing to let you know that your brother is in fact still alive. I made it out through that trade ship, and have found my way into an area known as Sundren. There I was found by the local enclave, and I thought my luck was all but through.
Blessing be to Kossuth, instead of killing me on the spot, the wizards took me back to the enclave and not only allowed me to live, but bought me from house Solom, and allow me to fight on behalf of Thay! Now I know this wasn't my original plan, but the wizards here are so merciful compared to the few we encountered at the arena.
I was given over to one of the knights of the enclave to be put to good use. She seems to use me to collect bounties from the local merchant guild. She is a truly vicious individual, but if I keep my head to the ground, she sees fit not to punish me too severely.
Another thing sister, the wizards have let me keep the spoils I have found from my travels! One of the wizards has even gifted me a suit of armor to wear while I am out. Though it is not what I would hope for, (Really, who puts spikes on the outside, and inside of a suit of armor? It hurts me fierce when I fall or move too much) it is nothing compared to what I faced back home. I believe that the wizards are testing my resolve to see if I am truly worthy of fighting for them.
One last thing sister, the rumors we heard were true, the sub-races seem to be treated almost as equals in other parts of the world! I got quite the shock when a half-breed took offense to my...how did she put it, "Being a complete dick." They get to speak freely to humans and everything; it is a sight to see. I have even learned a few of their names: the half-breed River, two elves: James and Shadeshot, and a short man (I think he was a gnome) by the name of Merin. Some of them were allowed to practice the arcane arts in public!
I will end the letter here sister, and hope that it finds you in good health. Know that your brother still lives, and still cares about his little sister. I will write again when time allows, until then, keep your head down.
Your brother,
-Romar
