A parchment is left upon the door of many of the temples. Several witnesses saw the figure, and if asked they all describe a medium-sized person dressed in loose robes with a deep hood. The figure left the parchments in the early evening, just before true night fell, and so it seems no one got a good look at the face. One guard, who saw the figure approach the Temple of Helm, thought enough of the incident to inspect the parchment that was left. He reported that upon taking it from the door, he was instantly struck with a sense of disgust as he realized it was fabricated from what appeared to be the treated hide of a goblin, and penned in what may have been blood...assumed to be from the same origin as the parchment. Instantly regretting having touched it, he delivered it with all haste to those within. While the guard himself didn't read what was written, he did mention that the priests and acolytes did seem to take an intrest in what was on the parchment.

Below is the text written on the parchment: known to those with IC connections to any of the temples.
-------------------------------------------------------
To those dealing with Life,
There are those in this world who deal with the eternal aspect of those who pass through life here. I speak of those agents of the Gods and their dealings with the living souls of the world. Agents such as you, who are set out to oversee, guide, corrupt, cleanse, damn, or save the souls that pass through existance. You have been taught about a single aspect of the Soul and the body in which it dwells. There are, however, a certain few who have knowledge of the souls as they pass from this world. This letter is addressed moreso to them than any others...
It may intrest you to know that there are souls who are anchored to this plane. Usually a person, an item, or even an idea serves as the anchor for these souls and binds them to this realm. More interesting still, these souls often wish to serve a purpose, to aid their living counterparts. You may be curious to know how this knowledge came about, but I can only divulge that while you deal with those souls in Life, my studies focus on the counterpart to that. To master the absence of Life, logically, is to master Life. Where one fails to exist, the other must take over. In my studies, I have found a way to locate and commune with souls bound to this plane, and interestingly enough, I have developed a theory that may be employed to re-anchor these souls to more common items, embuing them with the knowledge of the departed and enabling the soul to carry out its desire to aid by serving a living owner of such an item.
While I have begun study on how to prefect such a method, I am hesitent to do so. I am wholly unfamiliar with the laws binding what a Soul can and cannot do. I fear for reprocussions for myself or the soul should its anchor be transferred, or it bound to service by another. I seek now, guidance from those who may have a more thorough knowledge of such things so that I may further my work.
I understand my request is vague, but that does allow a wider range of responses in relation to what I seek to do. Any number of insights could prove to be useful at this point, so I must approach this with an open mind. At the bottom of this letter you will find my personal Mark. You may attune a spell with it to send me a message in response. I trust this is within your capabilities. If not, leave any responses with the keeper of the Inn located just inside the Sundren walls and mark them with a copy of my Mark. They will reach me from there.
The letters are all signed with unique rune that has a faint aura of magic about it.
