Role

Chapter 5

Brother,



First of all it seems that congratulations are in order. A Royal Guard under the
direct command of Lord Danellaran himself is a most impressive position. It
would seem having your little brother soundly whooping you in combat for a
hundred years really paid off, you're welcome. In all seriousness though, we are
all proud of you. Mother said that Rhapsody stopped by the farm and seemed
rather out of place and distracted the whole time, but that she was in good
spirits and sends her love to both of us.

The reason for my missive is this. One of my best friends of the Fortress of
Light who's name is Be'ellassanall'an, has recently..retired..to Darsylon. I'm
rather angry at the situation, mostly at myself for not seeing the warning signs
of the burnout in his spirit. War does this to so many, but I never expected it
to be him. He is one of the funniest, caring, and most innocent elves I've ever
met. I'm sending a war chest to the bank with shared access to you and I. I'm
encasing a thousand gold coins. I want you to figure out where he makes his
home, I'm sure it will be a tavern, and take your fellow soldiers there
regularly to hear his songs. Tip him well and make sure he is looked after, see
if you can convince him to come back to the Fortress of Light, though I doubt he
will.

A separate matter. I would like for you to look for someone. Someone...important
to me, though they don't know it and neither should you tell them if you manage
to find them. The family name is Laussellwairr. He is going to be a gambler or
thief by trade, he could also be using a different name. He will have spent a
lot of time in Ayr'Trinil. I know this is very little information to go by but,
I also know how well connected your Commander is. Send a scroll back hastily as
soon as you get any information, if you do. I don't want to lose him once he is
found.

That is all for now. May you remain ever vigilant to guard the innocent. May you
balance out emotion so that Justice is not a reflexive impulse, but a thought
out and inspired action. May you go about your duties with grace and strength,
and may the Light guide you home.
