A Letter to Dain Tornbrook

[BattlePixie]

A neatly penned letter on poor quality paper is left for Dain Tornbrook. The courier is only described as a poor woman in a patchwork tunic.

"Dear mister Tornbrook,

Sir,

I am hesitant to write to you but feel compelled due to the circumstances. I run a small charity that helps out urban poor and refugees within the City of Sundren. As you can imagine, with recent events and the constant dangers around us, our resources are stretched thin.

It is because of this that I now write to you.

Recently I have been caring for a woman who has been losing a battle with an untreatable cough. She was once a stunning beauty of modest means, a simple country girl with long brown hair, though the years have not been kind to her. She often speaks fondly of you though; of those days when you both were younger and the world seemed less troubled and more carefree.

As we make preparations to ease her passing, her only concern is for her son of nine years. A smart boy with sandy blond hair and keen, bright eyes. The same eyes I recognize in you sir.

All I ask is for a modest donation to ensure the boy's future as is his mother's wish. As you can imagine sir, it is difficult enough for children growing up on the streets without a mother, more so for those that are born out of wedlock and that don't have a strong father figure to guide them. Such children often fall prey to less desirable folks and become a difficulty for public figures such as yourself.

Replies can be made to the Half Pint Tavern, Entertainment district. They often help my charity with extra food, when available.

Regards,

Daisy"

Daisy,

It was with great amusement that I and the Tormtar in my service read the insinuation that I am responsible for a Sundarian soon-to-be orphan; I'm not native to Sundren and haven't been here yet two years, let alone that the boy is nearly nine and I can assure with certainty that my sirehood to the lad is impossible.

However, we cannot dismiss a request for charity. The Triad has never encountered the cough it could not cure, and so we extend our considerable healing expertise to this ailing woman. If she does, indeed, pass on, our Ilmatari will gladly see to the youth's guidance and upbringing, such that the influence of those less desirable folk will be sufficiently evaded.

Yours in faith and service,

High Adjudicator Dain Tornbrook

Sir,

Thank you for your offer of aid. Donations of food and blankets can always be made to the Half Pint and would be graciously received. Myself and my fellow charity workers will ensure that they are distributed to as many deserving persons as we can.

Thank you for your attention in this matter.

Sincerly,

Daisy

Ms. Daisy,

Perhaps there is some confusion as to the Triad's commitment to your cause. I suggest that you visit the Temple of the Triumvirate properly so that yourself, High Adjudicator Melchior, and I can properly discuss the extent to which the Triumvirate will go to help persons in need. Food and blankets are certainly useful necessities; however, the Triad seeks to nourish the souls of the downtrodden, not just their bodies.

Further, our distribution efforts are sophisticated and certainly beyond what I estimate to be the scope of what can be accomplished from within the Half Pint tavern. I urge you to visit the Triad so that we might visit, face to face, and discuss the benefit to a more coordinated, cooperative effort.

Yours, in the grace of the True Three,

Dain Tornbrook
