My Darling Garrick

Garrick Thornwood sat at his old Rosewood desk. He looked over the letter again. the letter that said his late wife, the beautiful first lady, Serafina, was still alive. Her death 15 years ago had been the most earth-shattering thing he had experienced in his thus far, immortal existence. Who would play such a cruel trick on him now...

He looked again. It still made no sense. He turned the letter over. It was then he caught a glimpse of the silvery lines of a pencil-written message. Could it really be from his wife?

Letter text

My Darling Garrick, They've hidden me away from you for so long. Please believe that you can find me! Endless Love Serafina xxx

But it must be her... As only 'she' knew that they called their love endless.
He called through to his secretary.
"Ask Joseph to come to my office, and..", he paused, "and find me the Fortune Seeker, tell her I want to speak with her urgently".
Garrick knew that his son Joseph had his ear to the ground, so would know or be able to find out if there was any truth in this mysterious note or if there were any interesting rumblings from certain factions. And the Fortune Seeker, was an experienced tracker and had an almost omniscient knowledge about everything going on in the Realms, given the right price!
If Serafina was to be found, he would find her!

Historical Details

Background

Serafina Thornwood was thought to have died during the Blood Wrath Moon. As there was no evidence of an abduction, nobody has been looking for her for the 15 years since her supposed death. This note could change everything! If Serafina is found and reinstated as First Lady, there would be no succession to Grand Arch Vampyr for her son Ed, and would her daughter Serena now be able to achieve 'pure-blood' status?
