To:Decstrum, The White Tower of the Right

[Talleyman99]

* A letter arrives addressed to Mizrhai of the Right hand.*

Mizrhai, representative of the Right Hand,

I am currently working on an investigation in the Valley. We have come across need of the Hands expertise and knowledge. It seems the issue we are looking into involves black or dark stones that are tied in some way to Shar, or the shadow weave, and any adverse effects such items would have on ley of the Valley.

My fellows wished to ask for access to the Hands Library, I know this is a touchy subject. So I put forth at least a meeting with a Lore Master of the hands, or even an Magi you could dispatch to look into this for us and report what they find from the Library.

If anything Can be done I would be grateful, I await a response

Centurio Scholii Drismon

[Fateful Encounter]

A week later, correspondence is returned.

Centurio Drismon,

The Archmagus Mizrahi's attentions are focused on restoring the City, and so it has fallen to me to respond to your request. I am Archmagus Tothrain; you might remember me from our encounter whilst the City still flew, though it would not surprise me if you do not.

I, however, have not forgotten your flagrant disregard of our most noble order in the past. How quaint to now receive word from you that you seek the Hands' assistance.

Needless to say we are not so petty as to hold your past actions over your head ... provided you are willing to demonstrate your contrition in the form of a public apology. A grand speech upon the gardens of Aspirations, expressing your utmost respect, admiration, and praise for the Decstrum would be sufficient, I think.

I await eagerly the announcement.

Archmagus Tothrain

Another letter soon follows:

Centurio,

Not all of our Order are so pompous. I have information that I believe may be vital to you; I will seek you out soon.

Rhadovas,
Elite-Magus
Decstrum

[Fateful Encounter]

A few weeks later, another letter is sent to the Centurio.

Centurio Drismon,

Is it your pride that holds your tongue hostage? No matter ... I'm sure it's only a matter of time before you become desperate for the information only we possess.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Archmagus Tothrain
