A Thayan knight is sent with a letter to the Viridale border, to deliver it to the hands of the Starweaver on one of her trips in or out of the woods.
"Ms. Starweaver,
Our talk has left with me a feeling of restlessness and unease. While such a creation as the one we discussed is fascinating and enticing, the sheer level of potential harm cannot be dismissed. I wish to accompany you on your excursion to remove the threat, to see that it is done properly and completely. With your permission, I would like to save a small piece for research, though if you question my motives or intent I will respect your wishes to destroy it completely. Our meeting has convinced me that much of your past life is gone, though I hope your respect for scholarly endeavors still endures and that you see the need to more fully understand and study this matter. If nothing else, your "person of interest" could have unknown contingencies or stockpiles, and a means of countering the menace could only be gleaned by careful investigation.
Regardless of your decision on the matter of sample preservation, I do hope you take me up on my offer to accompany you. My unique skill set, my school of arcane knowledge, and my raw arcane power will all be boons in your mission. If we agree on nothing else on this matter, we agree that the threat to all sentient beings in the valley is too great to ignore. After all, if the valley further destabilizes or suffers greater loss of life, with whom will I be able to conduct business? Please send response via this courier, and please forgive him his trespass into your forest.
