Third Magic Missive to Dorothea Kramer
My Dorothea,
Words cannot adequately describe the extent to which I appreciate your understanding and support in these trying times. Though my travels on Morado have been brief thus far, there are a lot of details which I have not explained fully, due to a myriad of factors, not the least of which being a lack of a method to convey long messages securely to you. There were also moments within which I was concerned that elaborating on our struggles may have put you in harm’s way, and I would never forgive myself were you to be harmed due to my indiscretion. I hope that you will not hesitate to ask questions should they arise. I shall answer any inquiries to the best of my ability.
The situation has become much more dire in the hours that transpired between the moment I sent my last missive to you and the moment you sent your response. Three of our travel companions have been kidnapped by the enemy. Two Youkai children we had assumed guardianship over as well as a young woman who had hired some of us to escort her, Elizabeth Ron Dolfore. Miss Elizabeth was taken before our very eyes via some form of teleportation magic, by an individual who calls themselves Magister Veatrum. We have followed in pursuit of this group to the town of Three Point River.
One of those whom we captured from the ranks of these kidnappers revealed to us a number of things, including the Magister’s name. Veatrum is a member of the Shadowed Heart, and they were working in conjunction with a group of smugglers who call themselves Kaspen Hush. A ranking member of these smugglers is Carlein Pereek, the sheriff of Three Point River. He also told us that while Kaspen Hush does deal in the trade of people that they do not store them within their goods safehouses. The most likely place they are to be storing our friends is the dungeon beneath the sheriff’s office. We also have reason to believe that Pereek and Veatrum will be meeting with ranking members of the Kurai Kokuja and the Vile Horde. It is during this meeting that our friends are likely to be handed off for transport to realms unknown, and so time is of the essence.
I am currently in an Akacheta encampment with the members of the Mother Sun congregation and one of Miss Elizabeth’s friends, Mister Sivu. The encampment is adjacent to Three Point River, and is most likely the safest place for me to be at the moment. I have been warned that my nature as a Priestess is likely to attract unwanted attention here, so I am currently in disguise as a peasant woman named Valeri. Three Point River is an important trade hub, but thus far I have been led to believe that its governance is rife with corruption. Everything is connected via toll bridges which require each person crossing to pay a fee of four silver pieces, or else to buy a one week crossing permit at the cost of ten gold pieces at the sheriff’s office, which is a bridge apart from any residential district. The guards are all members of a mercenary group called Balthazar’s Legion. I have also seen them with Bishop Hyouhaku.
There are also two tangentially related matters that I would greatly appreciate for you to look into. Ulrich is currently suffering under some powerful form of magic which allows someone to assume control of his body. This parasite has threatened Ulrich’s life if I interfere further with their machinations in Yonara after I warned Ulrich about the spell that had been placed upon him. I do not know what spell has been placed upon him, nor how to break it, but should we be able to find a way he ought to be a good ally.
One of my companions, Sergeant Kazimier Marlowe, has a daughter who is an acolyte of the Dusk Mage named Zariya. Miss Zariya was a student of Bishop Vorukov, and apparently taken under the wing of a figure who calls themselves Mister Vlad, who taught her dark magic and we believe to be associated with our foes. How she and Mister Vlad came to be associated, I do not know. Sergeant Marlowe had cause to believe that she was in danger, though he has been given some assurances lately that this is not the case. If you find yourself able to discover how Miss Zariya fares, it may put my companion more at ease.
I hope that you have arrived at your destination without incident. I know you must worry for my well being as well as that of my companions. I had hoped that our written correspondence would be much lighter fare when we were finalizing the details in Yonara, but the situation has changed rapidly. If you have any inquiries about myself, my companions, our foes, or anything at all, please do not hesitate to ask. Of course, I also welcome conversation that does not relate to the situation at hand as well. As always, I shall look forward to your response, My Dorothea.
