Dear Mother and Father,

Blessed be the Golden Eye! Lord Duvall lives still. I receiveth news yesterday in Velensk of his survival. Mayhap the new leaders of Pranzis canst be reasoned with after all. He spoke of his duties pressing and much to do at the Temple. I am most glad to hear of it. Mayhap initiations wilst continue if it be possible. I pray to the Lord Protector it be so.

I have grown in skill again father, thou woudst not even recognize me anymore. Thews and shoulders hath grown long, hard, and sinewy from the constant swinging of shield and sword. I dare boast I couldst beat mine old teacher, Jack in arms. Pray tell him naught, else, I be accosted upon my return by himself to regain his honor. Sooth, his lessons serve me well.

As to other news, I purchased an enchanted ring to enhance mine strenght further for the glory of Rofirein. The purchase of which drained my coffers bare. More questing I must do to regain some wealth. I also hath made peace with Darkchild. Both of us, it seems, reflected long on the harsh words said and repented of our follies. Words exchanged, peace made, anger released. Mayhap if a good man, not a bootlicker, be needed to giveth me honest counsel, methinks he be the one to call uponst.

My Liege, Thomas, hath fallen to hard times. He goes on retreat to reconsecrate himself and I wish him well. He doth task me to take up his quest of slaying the chromatic young and allies. I knoweth not if I possess the strength to do so but will bear it in mind.

I met a Ranger, Sallaron Tempest, the other day in Hlint. I knewest him by message afore, but was most pleased to serve him as we travelled the breadth and length of Mistone. We battled our way to the southern peaks and entered the dwarven fortress there. Twas a grand site, but the thought of all that stone crushing down uponst mine head made me eager to leave. I run out of tales and so must profess my love and respect for ye. Pray be at peace.

All my love,
Your son, Daniel
//8th level another Strength for 16, I purchase a bulls ring from the Raven Trading Guild (it takes forever to make contact) for a total STR: 17, respectable, but probably low compared to most still. Darkchild and Daniel make a sort of peace, but it doesn't really last. He still makes fun of Daniel, even if Daniel refuses to acknowledge the mockery. There's a mention of Daniel early training as a fighter. Jack of the Dale, is an old family friend of Daniel's Father and a man at arms for the wool/cloak busines run by Daniel's father in Luck. He taught Daniel all that he knew of militia duties, weapons, and armor. A low level warrior, he greatly admired and respected by Daniel. Daniel spends a lot of time in the Crypts of Hlint "training" and collecting the coin the undead drop. Daniel is also very free in helping new players in quests, healing and protecting them as needed. Daniel is learning what true leadership is: service to others to accomplish a common goal. No amount of coin is stockpiled as Daniel keeps using any and all spare coin to buy potions and bandages that he uses to keep new players alive on thier quests. Exploring Mistone 1 takes place.
