A hooded messenger would arrive at the vale, short in height and speaking not once. He stood there in eerie silence before handing the ranger manning the gates a peculiar letter.
To whom it may concern,
If you are reading this, I am dead. Whatever foul beast or crude man took my life, I hope it was a worthy death! Regardless, I have a son, Khiiral. He should live in the woods surrounding Norland, he is not typically fond of visitors. If you receive this letter I expect you to be a close friend of mine, find him if you would. He is not a young man, despite his appearance he holds wisdom which most likely far surpasses that of my own. Now go, may the aspects guide you llir.
Kind regards,
Tanyl Erwenys
When the hooded figure had seen the deed through, he departed with what seemed to be many more of these letters.
