Foreword: Included in this document are the transcriptions of the Sending Stone conversations between Miss Nia Tribette and Priestess Aurra Ianarie Maudelyn as transcribed by Miss Tribette herself after Priestess Maudelyn and all hands on the ship she was traveling on were shipwrecked on Janshima Island due to an attack by a storm monster. The dates that these messages were received are also included. This document has been transcribed for Miss Tribette's personal records, to allow distribution of the contents of the messages to others, and so that they may be preserved for the historical record.

Message Transcribed: Clary 13th, 1050ABD. Afternoon. Original sending date and time unknown. Speaker: Priestess Aurra Ianarie Maudelyn Nia... we're still alive, If only by the grace of the Gods, I just hope the same can be said for you my friend. You may want to sit down for a moment and put the stone on something solid, I've never used one of these and I'm not sure how you'll handle what I'm about to do... please forgive me if this hurts or is frightening, it's just the easiest and fastest way to explain as I'm currently unsure of our safety... please relay what you're about to see to Ra Minol. anything they can learn about that thing could help and seeing it's abilities first hand helps more... even if it is embarrassing, though if you could keep the more embarrassing parts of it to yourself it would be very much appreciated. She gives me a moment, about two minutes to brace myself, and to presumably to brace herself as well, before she starts. Here we go. She starts at the beginning where the ship was destroyed, showing a debris storm-break she built, showing her fighting her way to the surface and being rescued by Alastor after being slammed by the wave and then her panic on the dinghy. Eventually, she shows the godly intervention, the mermaid, and waking up here. Tell Beo... and the others... I'm... we're alive... lost.... but alive... She turns around and sends one last memory of the group around her, a feeling of fear but with an undertone of very cautious optimism carried with it. ... and we'll see you guys soon. She finishes with an image of her sending stone's symbol, a vertical arrow with a circle in the middle pointing upwards and a small, sideways "s" shape in the middle of the circle. Message Ends.
Note: I did send a message in response to Aurra's message, unfortunately I was not in a position at that point in time to transcribe the message and it has been lost to time.
Message Transcribed: Celetus 2nd, 1050ABD. Morning. Speaker: Priestess Aurra Ianarie Maudelyn
Hello Nia, I hope this message finds you well, and I hope that everyone has arrived in Ancora safely. How have you been? I apologize for taking so long to respond to your message... things have been rather insane for those of us on the island, we are all safe however. She pauses for a moment, gathering her thoughts before continuing Since my last message, we've managed to find a village of shipwreck survivors, primarily Drimorian, whom have treated us with far more kindness than we can truly ever repay. Strangely enough, they have managed to survive without having anyone with even the most minute level of medical skill... I have since taken steps to rectify that situation, teaching any whom were interested basic first aid, triage, and other medical procedures alongside training several of the guards in combat medicine... I have had some luck training the few whom were interested in utilizing healing magic, though many weren't interested and those that were are still at a fairly basic level and many are easily exhausted. It is rather frustrating if I'm honest. She stops before continuing Regardless, my own frustration is unimportant, they will, at the very least, have a grasp of basic medicine as... barbaric... as it may be and that will save lives in the years to come. Other than teaching and practicing medicine, I have been working with Zeric, showing him the basics of swordsmanship... though he's having little luck with a blade. I've also been learning to cook! Yumiko, one of the village's chefs who has been perpetually kind to me and has graciously opened her home to me, has been showing me how to cook in exchange for my attempts to teach her to utilize magic... keyword attempts... our other roommate, Jasmine, has had a large amount of luck with her magical studies however. She gives the telepathic equivalent of a sigh before continuing, her tone more upbeat Anyways... On a more interesting note, several of The Gods have spoken and interacted with us whilst we were on this island. Lady Aldriel... She hesitates and then continues ...assisted... us, providing information on a possible solution to our escape to Alastor and helping me deal with one of my worst nightmares at his behest amongst other matters. I have also had Lord Kardan assist me over the past few weeks with my nightmares. He and The Lord Creator also granted me a unique opportunity, they allowed me to speak with my parents, I... don't remember anything about them... or at the very least I didn't until they allowed me to speak with them and, when I woke in the morning, Yumiko was holding their journal, taken from the day of their death a century before and brought to me several weeks ago. She sends an image of the cover of a damaged book showing what appears to be a Daoine family crest and an image of the first page, written in Daoine before continuing. We were also graced by a visit from Lord Anteros who came to assist in repairing some... She hesitates again quake...damage... that the village sustained as well as to speak to several of us, myself included, in person. Aurra stops and gives a telepathic chuckle If I didn't know all of this were true... I wouldn't believe it... but I'll swear on any holy book, even the Book of Stars itself, that it's true. She stops and her tone becomes more subdued. There have also been... other matters of some importance... but I fear that they are too important for me to discuss over Sending Stone as I am unsure of your current tactical situation and fear knowledge of these matters falling into enemy hands. She stops again, sighing before continuing. I really should get going, I need to meet with the others, there is talk of some kind of mission... which Lord Anteros hinted at several weeks ago... it should be interesting. Stay safe... and make sure Kiernan keeps his head down and give him my regards. Oh, and check in with my Apprentice for me will you? Make sure he knows I asked about his studies, I hope he is making good progress... oh and give my regards to Beo, tell him I said hello and for him to be careful, Priestess Sharna and Iye too, they would be fascinated... She stops I need to stop rambling before I ask about everyone, I really hope everyone in Ancora is alright... you all are perpetually on my mind. Message me soon! Aurra finishes off her message with an image of her Sending Stone's symbol Message Ends.
Message Transcribed: Celetus 2nd, 1050ABD. Morning. Speaker: Miss Nia Tribette Dear Aurra, thank the gods that you are well. My deepest sympathies for all that you have gone through, but I should give congratulations as well it seems. Gods walking upon Drimore again. What days we are living in. We have made it safely to Ancora city. I'm acting as an aide to the Daoine. It appears some things have changed since you have last been. A curfew is in order in the city, and the Drimorians have been hard at work establishing order and a perimeter around their city. I met Alastor's daughter for the first time... she doesn't seem to approve of him very much. It will take some time before I can tell her about him. Strange creatures seem to be wandering the city at night. There's no consensus on where they are from, but they can be dangerous. They are dark skinned, with long claws, and dark eyes. Whatever they are, they seem to be able to enter and exit the city at will. Anaga was injured by one of them, but she will recover. In less dire news... Kiernan and I are officially courting. Quite the place to, right? But we acknowledged our mutual feelings. I couldn't be happier. I will let Kiernan know of your well-being, and I will do my best to give everyone your best. Keep in touch.
