A Call for Aid - Westkeep's Request
Honored Mordicar the Justhand, Prelate of The Church of St. Ygg in Middenmark,In these times of hardship, I, Endra, servant of St. Ygg and guardian of Westkeep, reach out with a plea for aid. Our village, nestled in the shadows of the Moon Peak Mountains and the edge of the Darkwood Forest, has long stood as a beacon of faith and resilience. Yet, we find ourselves facing a threat that may well surpass our capacity to endure alone.
The winter just passed was one of the harshest in memory, leaving our larders nearly empty and our people weakened. In the wake of this brutal season, we have witnessed unsettling movements within the Moon Peak Mountains. Reports from our scouts speak of a large gathering of Neanderthal barbarians, a people driven by desperation and the stark choice to conquer or perish. It is our belief that an attack is imminent, one that seeks to exploit our moment of vulnerability.
Thus, we call upon the might and mercy of The Church of St. Ygg. We request immediate assistance in the form of supplies to replenish our diminished stores and reinforcements to bolster our defenses. Without such aid, Westkeep may not withstand the coming storm.
In service of this plea, we have dispatched a group of our newest recruits to the church, each bearing the light of St. Ygg within their hearts. Led by the brave and devout Sir Eldan, these five souls: Aelwyn the Scholar, Borin the Steadfast, Celia the Compassionate, Derrin the Quick, and Eira the Hopeful, carry with them not only this message but the very spirit of our community.
They are young, yet their determination and faith are unwavering. We entrust them to your guidance, hopeful that they may learn from your wisdom and, in turn, bring much-needed succor back to Westkeep.
May St. Ygg watch over them on their journey, and may His wisdom guide your hand in our hour of need.
With utmost faith,
Endra Keeper of the Westkeep Watchtower
