Search for Ullastine

[Reckless Banzai Screamer 15456]

A letter is delivered to the Caliph, appearing hastily written upon papyrus. 

"To My Caliph,

It's with sincere regret that I must inform you of my departure from Al-Wakhrah. This is no hasty decision, but something I've thought long about since Allah willed I reunite with Khalestine. It was during my travels that I came across the ruined city once known as Brelus did I feel my stomach churn. I ask you forgive my hypocrisy - I understand I was the one who asked you to join in on the war. I've since realized the disgusting side of humanity and acknowledge the hand I played in it. I seek penance now and wish to depart from secular life and root myself back into what Allah truly destined me for - the obliteration of eldritch horrors. While I am sympathetic to Khalestine, I hold no true loyalties to the nation. My loyalty is to Allah, my family, and my battle brothers who are family by extension.

After the war and my release from Khalestine's prison, I found myself with little to do and Shai'tan took hold of my idle mind. Plagued me with similar thoughts of inadequacy and insecurity that once forced me to run off once before. On my own, I looked at Al-Wakhrah from an objective perspective. it's a grand city. Beautiful and full of life. But it is not my city. My city was consumed by the strykewyrms and my old rafiqis sit in their bellies along with Al-Dirahk's sandstone walls. Those few that survived have blazed their own paths - and I refuse to be left behind. I shall make my own way.

There is another reason I seek penance - war has corrupted every fiber of my body. I've grown hateful of those different than me. Envious of those better than me. And jealous of those that have what I do not. I also cannot forgive Morvan and Ketiley, or even you for that matter, on what almost happened to my brother Enepay. While you showed mercy, the thought is etched into my brain and it does not leave me. So I wish to distance myself before I grow to loathe.

My commandery will be operated by those under me. I ask Ellian be added as the third owner of my house. I now search for Ullastine to soothe my soul.

-Nafis of Al-Dirahk"

"My mission is Divine. I cannot share this with others."
