Status Letter to the Viceroy
To the beloved and excellent Lord Julius Swann, Viceroy of Southern Fieras; Seraphina, daughter of Lord Marcus Swann and Lady Serina Swann, and by your grace, Margrave of Livania after our late and glorious ancestor, we send greetings and the bond of friendship.
Right worshipful and my most entirely beloved cousin, in the most humble manner I recommend me unto your good leadership, beseeching you daily and nightly of your familial blessing, ever-more desiring to hear of your welfare and prosperity, the which I pray to the Three to continue and increase to your heart's desire; and if it liked your good heart to hear of me and how I do, at the making of this letter I was in good health of mind and body, thanked be the Three, and blessed in them in skill, song, and the craft.
In the short time since last we were last in each other's company, the settlement of River's End has continued apace. As no doubt you know from our diplomatic correspondence, the situation with the Minari leader Maelgwn has stabilized. He leads a loose confederation of Minari tribes that has arisen in the name of honorable self-defense of Minari homes and families. While he sees us with suspicion, he and his so far do not see us as an enemy. In fact, my dear cousin and most excellent lord, I am disposed to think we have a shared enemy in the hobgoblins and others emerging from the mountain heights. Building on helping his people and avenging the deaths of the villagers would be in everyone's interest.
Personally I am thriving here; however in the few weeks that have passed, I've found I've missed my mother and your noble company, your advice, and our games of chess. Yet I and my fellows are resolute and will continue our efforts with verve, and with the grace of the Three, with greater successes. I thank you my lord, and give credit and due appreciation and deference toward the support you've shown to my forging a new path, both in life and in honor, than that of my mother and hers. I remember your words of the paths I may follow. I could have taken the easy path, followed that of my mother, or married an up and coming lord or gentleman. Inspired by you, when the time is right to continue our family line, I will settle for only the most honorable match that brings glory to myself, my orders, my family, and to you, dear cousin - to who's grace and mentorship I owe everything.
So humbly craving the continuance of your honorable favor towards me, and the eternal establishment of your happiness, I humbly take leave. Love me, as I love you, and think upon my mother and brother, as they think upon you.
Yours most humbly affectionate Sera.
Lady Livania, the Margrave Seraphina of Swann
