The Pact of Love
The Pact of Love is a love letter written by Zathrian Krahn intended for Aoife, the Aegrican monk who traveled to Mescar as a member of Llwgwaed.
Historical Details
Background
Although the letter was written to completion and in it's original envelope, it was found unopened in the rubble of the upper towers of Karsah-Kryzee. When opened by Mâriann Krahn, the date on the letterhead only preceded the author's death by three weeks.
Public Reaction
When the letter was found, the Mescrian government, headed by Mâriann Krahn, tried to hush up it's discovery due to the public opinion of the former prince. Despite their efforts, word spread of the document and eventually everyone knew of this secret letter. The general public was surprisingly reverent of the note and found it to be of pure quality and good will. It was permanently given to Aoife Mesukah, the addressee, a month after it's opening. The document was named The Pact of Love after the line, 'I pray this letter will be received with an equally tender nature as I have expressed and this revelation of true adoration and care can be transformed into a pact of love which will outlast even the halls of this mighty fortress.'
Legacy
The Pact of Love is now a cultural symbol of the good in every person. Since the letter was written by the prince who turned against his country, not of his own will, it rings true to the citizens of Mescar as a testament to the power of love in any heart.
The term 'Pact of Love' has since been coined in Mescrian slang as a way to say one does not know if someone shares a regard of love with another person (i.e. 'She wrote him a pact of love last week')
