As the rain pours down, Cora does her best to squint through the falling drops as she makes her way down the street in Port Avanthyr. As common as the rain is, it's no surprise it often proves to be a nuisance. The thought of waiting until the storm finishes had occurred to her, but it had only just started and there was no telling how long it would take for it to pass over.
Cora forces a smile and nods to the diligent guards of House Meriadoc at the base of the steps before ascending to the top. She then offers the same greeting to the two at the top of the steps before approaching the swashbuckler on her left.
"Excuse me... my name is Cor-" Cora winces as a blast of thunder drowns out her voice. "...Cora Kelm and I have a letter for House Meriadoc that I would ever be so grateful if you were to deliver it for me."
Cora reaches behind her back for the mini-chest on her belt. After detaching it with a faint snap, she brings it around to the front in her arms. Tilting the box towards her to keep its contents from getting soaked, she opens the lid a crack and slips her hands in for a parchment tube. She quickly closes the chest once the tube is extracted, and snaps it back onto the back of her belt with her left hand as the right holds the tube.
"Though I am but a humble merchant, I would like to arrange a meeting with any members of this great house that would be willing to see me. I know Lady Elvelyn Meriadoc, whom I met at the engagement part of Lord Ulsteris, is away on trading business, but I would be happy if it were delivered to any that would be willing to read it of the House. The letter contains further details, but it is to do with a proposal I would like to make to the Emperor and his State."
Cora then offers the entire parchment tube to the guard to take should she accept it, not wanting to risk the letter's damage to the elements. "I will not trouble the great house to send a written response to one so low as myself and will make the effort to return at a later date for their response." She pauses to look at some lightning in the distance then braces herself for the following clap of thunder. "Most likely when the weather is fairer. Thank you very much, good madam."
Cora bows once again to the swashbuckler and carefully makes her way back down the steps. She then scurries to the nearby Menacing Mariner to wait out the storm.

To Whomever of House Meriadoc may receive this,
Greetings. My name is Cora Kelm, a humble follower of Lurue, Queen of Talking Beasts. I pray you will forgive me for taking up your time to read this, but I would very much appreciate a meeting with one of the members of your Great House.
I am currently in the process of gathering signatures for a proposal I would like to make to the Emperor and his State in regards to making use of the abandoned Legion outpost on the border of the Viridale forest. Nearly a year ago, the forest was greatly tainted by Talona when she destroyed the Wardens of the Vale that used to reside within its boundaries. Many of the animals were displaced by this event and now roam the country sides of Sundren, often attacking any passing traveler in their state of dementia. It is my hope to use the fort as a starting point to begin cleansing the forest of this taint as well as provide homes for the displaced creatures.
Our efforts are also in conjunction with Lord Quintin Ulsteris, whom has been actively seeking to find refuge for the displaced citizens of Sundren that lost their homes either to the rising of the city or the destruction caused by the failed invasion of the Black Hand and its allies. It is our hope to build a new home for these unfortunate souls as we repair the fort and expand upon it to make it a safe haven for them as well as to any travelers entering the Viridale. Perhaps some day our little village will grow into a city in its own right.
So far I have gathered support and approval for my proposal from members of Houses Blackwell, Ulsteris, and Hellstrom with hopefully more to follow. I would greatly appreciate a chance to present my proposal to you as well should you be willing to listen to your humble servant.
Regardless, I thank you greatly for taking the time to read this letter. I will not further waste your time in asking for any written response. I will make the effort to visit Avanthyr Hold at a latter time for your response if any is granted.
