Letter for Milord Karo

[Palacrisis D Jones]

5th cycle of Optia

Vedui'," the lone guardsman at “The Streaming Sapphire Arch” had greeted the knight , leaving those behind him to watch his back and ensure his safety. His greeting was universal, under the assumption that anyone who would want to enter Silrosia was elf or elf-friend. "Welcome to Silrosia. May I see your visa and know the reason of your stay?" His tone was friendly, but still left little doubt that the wrong answer would result in more than a few arrows being loosed.

Sir Tristan smiled and handed over his papers adding “Serale sir, your greeting honours me, I am merely a messenger with a letter to My lord Karo Sa’Nepenthes. I shall deliver this missive and then with a hollow place in my heart for leaving such a beautiful place return to my master the new governor within the candlemark.

Assuming Tristan finds the right residence the red waxed sealed letter reads as follows..

Secrets : 5th cycle of Optia Lord Karo Sa’Nepenthes [Retired governor Arakmat] Silrosia Serale my Lord I would beg forgiveness for my presumption in writing to you but I would request a few candlemarks of your time. I have the honour to hold the warrant of governorship for the province of Arakmat as bestowed upon me by the Imperial Regent and I would deem it a great favour if you would consent to meet with me. At the time of writing this note I camped a mile south of Imperia not a position of choice but it appears that there is a shortfall of competent officials within the City of Imperia so rather than offend local sensibilities I have withdrawn outside the city limits for the immediate future. I could come to see you in Silrosia if you would be gracious to extend such an invitation. Either way I would enjoy meeting you and gaining some insight into the province of Arakmat. Yours in the empire Palacrisis D Jones [governor]
