A fairly nondescript letter arrives for the Thane of Whurest Hold, marked so both within and without. The recipient's title is written in dethek, but the flowing, dainty hand that penned it makes it look strangely inappropriate. Its author was certainly not taught the alphabet by dwarves, either, for it follows a less conventional approach to word structure that's more common in orcish warnings.
Despite being far from a master, the author put concentrated effort into their runes in what appears to be an honest attempt to pay respect. The body of the letter is thankfully written in far more legible Common by comparison.
<To the Successor of Late Eriak Bristlebeard>
Fair be our meeting, Master Dwarf, for I believe this is the first time we've spoken. Though this missive may come as a surprise to you, I assure you it is composed of thoughts that have long been on my mind. If you would listen to me for a spell, I will express of my intentions.
Many seasons ago, I discovered a sword on Whurest soil and was driven to return it to Dwarven hands, but the late Thane Bristlebeard bid me name it mine with his blessing. However, later learning that it beheld a greater fate than was initially sought did I realize that I am undeserving of its presence.
I would see this weapon better left within the care of the Whurest Hold it belongs to, be it to eventually find a purpose or not, but I would not be one to impose. Send word to the Sunderer's Gate at your leisure and I will see it returned if it is what you desire.
