Hello Mom,
 
As I am sure you can tell, I finally reached Port Demali! Did dad return from his latest excursion yet? Please share this letter with him as well!
 
Archdruid Xyoltol was right when he sent me south. I had been in town no sooner than a couple hours when I stumbled upon an open field hospital where they were trying to contain a mysterious, new disease. I’m not any good with healing like some others in my order are, so I offered to help with my only reliable talent: working as a liaison. I was able to solicit some aide from the local clergy and we were able to make great headway into discovering a solution to the “Manic Boils” disease, as it was called.
 
I think you would really like it here, Mom. There’s wonderful art and culture everywhere. Just yesterday I was able to view the final painting of Ilanis Dalathan, “Quiet Walls,” before it was sold to one of the local temples of Paelor. I am planning to go visit one of the locations of his paintings later since I am in town. I also met a local bard named Gaias Fleck. He’s young, but extremely talented. I’m betting one day we will hear about his great musical talent all the way back in Ithilond!
 
The team I am working on to resolve the disease is quite the odd bunch. There’s a cleric of Hecate who goes by the name of Rhiannon, a paladin of Paelor who calls himself Happy, a quite daft and headstrong dragonborn named Shen, and a mysterious woman named Xara who was called by her deity to assist us. Based on this group of people, I feel like I may have picked the wrong crystals to adorn my horns. Unfortunately, I left the sun and moon crystals at home in my room when I switched them to the hummingbirds for my travel through the forest.
 
The trek south took me about 3 weeks, so this is only my third day in the city. I wrote to you as soon as I had some free time. Those three weeks of isolation and exploration really gave me a new perspective on things. I know that when I left I didn’t leave exactly on the best terms with everyone. I acted like a petulant child when you refused to only call me by my adult name, and I am very sorry about that. I hope that you and dad can forgive me and that you can understand why I needed to leave.
 
With all my love,
Your daughter,
 
Aria
 
P.S. I almost forgot, mom, can you talk to the tanner’s son, Brynnyn? Please let him know that the hide set he gave me for my 20th birthday is exquisite upon use, and has done well to protect me from the elements in my normal form. Let him know that he is a great friend and I hope that he is doing well.
