Dear Fip,   Sounds like you all are still going on dangerous adventures, and I am happy for you, I swear. I worried though that you are going to end up like your friend from school and find yourself in the ever-after. Please be careful and keep me appraised of the events. Be careful about changlings, you never know who's side they are on and you can never be sure of their true identity. One day you think you are talking to your mom, and the next it turns out that it was the changling. Oh, and something has transpired here in Frandyln. I don't know what to make of it though. We had an elf come into a healer's tent a few days ago with strange fungi growing on his hand. We were able to remove it, but it seems to have latched on to his bones and I am afraid we won't be able to permanently get rid of the stuff. There are also rumors that over the past couple days vessels arrived in the ports of Onyxmourne, Mordredia, and Isondale carrying gnomes. Normal gnomes, well at least as any gnome could be considered normal. They say they had to abandon their land from across the Savandeen because it was being overran by some sort of attacker. I don't know yet what that was though. Again, these are only rumors as I have not seen, or talked to anyone that was there. Do be careful out there. You never know what might be around the next corner.
