Quote from Dagger of Blackwood

Lord Varek and Lady Molly of Zweiwasser,

I hope this letter finds you all well and in good health. I write to inquire about a few details that have interested me as of late concerning our common enemies in the Undead Flesh and Skargen and I was hoping that perhaps you and yours could assist.

I am looking for information on the Skargen, more specifically the one their White Touched call the Devour-er. I have, recently, felt as though I came into near contact with it and I want to know more about it. I have a firm belief it is best to know as much about your enemies as you can in order to defeat and or destroy them.

Do you and yours know what exactly the Devour-er is and its relation to the Void if any? Has the legend of the Devour-er been recovered and or recorded anywhere? Perhaps Tovak would know but I do not know where he resides. My mage's know only that the Skargen need the blood of brave warriors to calm the Devour-er or to slow down its destruction.

And lastly on a slightly less related note, I am looking for general information concerning King Garwan of the Akorianishe Reich.

If you could help me with any of this, I would be eternally grateful.

Quote from Dagger of Blackwood

Lord Varek and Lady Molly of Zweiwasser,

I hope this letter finds you all well and in good health. I write with dark news as I must report three deaths that occured on the grounds of the Salty Stick Tavern near the Black Pier crossing just south of Drachenbrück. During the day before the grand opening ceremony of the tavern, a man impersonating an East Blackwood Company messenger killed two men in cold blood in the small patch of woods near the tavern. The reason for these murders is not yet clear but an investigation is ongoing led by Squire Logaan of Aven, Champion of the Embassy Guard and Master Gedion of the East Blackwood Company.

A young man dressed in merchant's attire common in the region was found with his throat slit leaning against a tree. The other murdered soul was killed before the eyes of one of the tavern's guests. He was the Embassy Guard on duty at the time and he was of Zweiwasser, a veteran of Kahl'hatra. Sir Raven of the Iron Daggers stopped the murderer from fleeing the area. Captain Varn of the Embassy Guard and Squire to the Knights of Blackwood ordered that the murderer not be killed and instead taken for questioning but the murderer killed himself instead.

Evidence collected from the grounds suggests that the three dead were possibly part of a plot concerning Lady Anna-Katharina von Rabenau but this is not yet proven.

I am sorry to bring you such dark tidings but as Zweiwasser is your domain, I felt it prudent to report this to you. The corpses of the the murdered have been buried by the corpse of the murderer could not be found.

It is indeed grim tidings that you sent us. To have people murdered in cold blood, in our very homelands, will not stand. Rest assured that we will sent people to aid you in your investigations as well as guardsmen to secure the Salty Stick. In such dire times, we must stand united, and show potential evil-doers that Zweiwasser and East Blackwood, stand together.

We appreciate your letter, and hope that you will keep us notified of any development in this matter and if another such incident should happen, Elements forbid it, there must be spared no effort to wrest the secrets of the culprits.

The law of the land is clear on such matters and none shall defy it.

May the Elements protect you and guide you.

Varek smiled at Élane, his curt demeanor forgotten. Putting down his quill he turned to a stack of letters and with a quick search, found the one he was looking for.

"I have indeed Élane. Tendal will be allowed to live in Medina's vacant castle and is allowed to gather the relics and effects of the deceased, as per his wishes. Though it should only be the effects that are not currently in use. I have asked that we send some people to help him with this task and make sure everything is written down. This letter will hold the details, as well as my seal of approval. Please make sure it gets to him.."

Varek handed Élane the letter, his hand shaking ever so slightly.

"And Élane. Stay safe on your journey."

"Enter." comes the curt reply from the otherside of the door.

Varek is seated near his desk, illuminated by a single candle. His brows are furrowed, as he is putting the last of his thoughts to a sheet of paper.

The Baron is dressed in a simple shirt, closed at the neck, thin gloves and simple, comfortable pants and short boots. If not for the lack of dirt, he might as well have been on an errand outside.

Varek waved his hand dismissively.

"Just nodded off. No worries." He gave a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes and poured himself another glass of liqour.

Varek sat reclined in his chair, a small smile on his lips. He enjoyed listening to his now clearly excited wife, though he understood little of what had riled her up so. He felt the burning sensation from his drink flow through his body and the pleasant relaxation it brought with it. Perhaps he could close his eyes, just for a moment, to savor this brief respite.

Blissfull darkness surrounding him and slowly Molly's and Marcus' voice dimmed as well. For the first long while, Varek felt at peace. Then it struck him once more. The darkness turned suffocating and a dull, wet feeling spread across his scalp. Cursed voices, chanting in their rough foreign tongue, and fiery pain in his limbs.

Varek opened his eyes and suppressed a gasp for air. He sat very still in his chair, his eyes darting around the room for a moment to assure himself of where he was. He felt cold sweat trickled down his neck as he slowly regained his senses and the feeling of alertness left him.

Varek quietly kept his peace, with a smile on his lips as he raised his own liqour. He had faith in Molly's abilities, but he also knew her taste differt greatly from his own.
He enjoyed these rare moments. Usually he didn't have the time to luxuriously relax like this. If he wasn't drenched blood and gore on the battlefield, he was knee-deep in paperwork, trying to take on this new role. It was nice for a change to sit back and relax and leave the leading role to his beloved wife.

With these thoughts Varek leaned back further in his chair and savored the bitterness of his drink.
