A public letter has been posted around the city of Thyra, though its format resembles that of a personal one. It reads :

 

To my daughter, the Heiress of the Southeron and Seyam, Carawelo.

 

                                As I grow older, and the chance of me wedding a woman of my liking and attaining a son decreases, I find myself thinking more of you – my precious daughter. The thought of you brings me to remember a story my father once told me, of the only woman to ever publicly embarrass him and for a moment, to strike fear into his bold heart. During the Elven-Orkish wars in which we fought alongside our orcish brethren on the previous continent, the dwed were a common face to see – a friendly one. There was one instance he recalled, after a battle at a fort named ‘Strong’, in which he met the leader of these men – a woman. He described her as a woman of ashen skin like coal, but eyes of a flame that kept contained unless she had willed it. She spoke of her magical prowess – and naturally, as a practitioner as well, my father felt inclined to challenge her. Of course, this challenge was protested by the Orks – and after a barrage of insults, they had agreed to a simple arm-wrestle. My father was a man whom had protected Kings, both human and non-human – he was a man whom had battled creatures never before seen on this land. Yet, not only did he lose, but he had momentarily fractured his arm, his spirit, his pride, and his ego. It was through this lesson, a gift of wisdom and humility from the Dwarven High Queen, that he was shown the might a woman may attain, to become an elected queen and rival the strength of generals. Now, I do admit that the legitimacy of this story remains questioned, however fact or fiction – it does fill your old father with excitement for your reign. If you are to reign, that means that I have passed on to Semayata. This means that your reign should be powerful enough to shake the heavens, I will that you shall rule as the Queen of Kings – and if this be a dream, then make sure that you pass this dream onto your children as I have done to you. When in doubt, remember the story of the ‘Dwarven High Queen’ and the dream of your father.

Sincerely, Erasto I

“First the wedding..Now this?!?” the Imam would sigh, doing a VICIOUS facepalm as he says “It seems our nobility is bent on destroying their own sanctity and our traditions.....”

Upon a first look at the letter title, Zuwena Kiros ag Hinseli, cousin to Erasto, wonders what her cousin has gotten himself into. After quickly reading the letter, she smiled, wishing the best for Carawelo’s reign.
