Re: The Prize is at Home
Syd je slomio pečat na poruci, te odmotao čisti bijeli papir iz konate navlake koja ga je titila. Poruka je bila napisana tipičnim birokratskim rukopisom gnomova Kuće Sivis, a glasila je ovako:
Sender: Dhalia Vasazeli d'Lyrandar
Origin: Message Station in Stormhome, Aundair
Receiver: Sydney d'Lyrandar
Dear son,
I haven't written to you in a long time now. Indeed, too long. And now when I do so, I bring you sad news. Before you worry yourself with my wellbeing, do not, I am fine. But something indeed terrible has happened. Your cousin, Fidolis has left Eberron as a consequence of a grievous murder. I know you spent a lot of time with him at the universities of the Twelve, and developed a fondness for the man. Alas, his murderer was not apprehended. His funeral ceremony was organized today, with the early sun. His last wish, which as related to me by his daughter, was that he would be buried here in Stormhome. I have arranged a gravesite in our ancestral graveyard here. I knew that would be something you would want. The House has rented the services of a Medani inquisitive, who will track down the assilant and bring him to justice. I send you my love, and feel great pain for harbingering such grave news.
With love,
Your Mother, Lady Dhalia Vesazeli d'Lyrandar
