Dearest Children:
I write to tell of in tidings at Blue Hall. I have sent this note through non traditional methods to insure its secrecy to your father. His lecherous and immoral ways seem to rule him more than the need to insure the well being of the domain. Much of the tasks of day to day operations has fallen upon. Much of the day to day operations have fallen to Maester Egislor and Septa Gisla.
Two weeks have passed from the time I am writing, Septa Gisla and myself went to the nearby hovels to offer compassionate aid to the people of our domain. We were guarded by Bruce the strong with a few of his men. Suddenly, battle erupted around us. Olaf's bandits had chose to strike. We were nearly killed. As the horror happen to the those poor small folk. Gisla pulled me to our palfreys, and we rode to freedom. I looked back, and saw that Bruce's men had fallen. He stood in the middle bravely fighting on. He was outnumbered 10 to 1 at least. The men attacking were falling to his great strength. I have not seen Bruce since. He is missing, and presumed dead.
Olaf and his attacks have increased. Our troops are young and untrained. If, it was not for the bravery of our heroes and the Blue Lancer Cavalry Blue Hall surely would of fallen. You brother, Jon, has done well in the deployment of our men. He truly has a scholar's knowledge of war, but unfortunately he views the task as a intellectual challenge. He lacks a leader's empathy for the men and the small folk we defend.
We shall hold. It is important that you continue to King's Landing. I have planned long for the return of both my loving children. When; I arranged for you to be sent to your various places. I did it for two reasons. My great love and desire to protect you from your father. You Edric, I feared if you stayed at home you would become more like your father. I saw in you a greatness. A chance to renew the Blue Hall. My sweet Mara, I know you think I sent you away just because of your father's appetite. Dear Mara, I saw that you were stronger than the body the Seven has given you. I knew you would thrive at court. It was my hope that you would develop the strength that I knew you had. Mara stand by your brother; he will need friends and allies. House Neumann has many enemies other than Olaf. They see the weakness in your father, and they wish to strike. Our truest enemy is ourselves. How, you wish to deal with it is your choice.
There is one major challenge ahead of you. House Durwel has made Olaf's son, Kelric, a knight. Rumors are the attacks that once were directed at their house has stopped, and I fear that they may work in tangent with Olaf. Ravens have brought news that you will see him at the tourney. Be careful. I do not know his purpose, but it may be to harm you and your sister.
The young squire waits for my letter, so I will close with I love you both. I do not know what the Seven have planned for me. I fear that I may never see you, but think not of me. Think of the glory, I have foretold in the future for House Neumann. You are my legacy, and you our are future.
Your loving Mother
Lady Jocelyn Neumann
