Letter From Rudelf

  Fair tidings Shatterbrand,
  I hope this letter finds thee well. I have heard of the great acts you achieved at Skyreach and the souls you saved from the madwoman Cynthia. You have acted selflessly and should be commended. The thankless tasks oft go unnoticed but the Shatterbrand have a knack for doing things large and loud. My Wyndan roots love to see it, bold and boisterous and unafraid to be thyselves. 
  As my Enclave dictates, “Live Right, No Different in the Dark Nor Light.” You continue to show that when the world brings darkness, you shine your own beacon for those around you. At the end of last Rainfall, I had the opportunity to meet one of your own, one that you lost. My deepest condolences for the loss of Ser Anvil. She met me after she traded her arm to a wild beast that rages in the Undead Acres. She took its tusk as a trophy. We were able to patch her up at the Enclave base in Cliffshire but I was saddened to hear of her death. She fought well from what I knew.
  I look forward to meeting the rest of the mighty Shatterbrand at the Champion’s Feast you are hosting. As the caretakers of the Hedgespire and the Eastern Moot coming up a mere forty or so days away, the ceremonial grounds have been prepared for a grand gala and feast to signal the end to the Year of Mourning of my lost brother. At this gala is where all the Moot Electorates, Cinnead Chiefs and Champions celebrate together, making final preparations for the upcoming Eastern Moot where one of the champions will claim glorious, potentially bloody victory and become the new Eastking.
  As I told Ser Anvil, I will be there to mourn my misguided brother but will not be competing to become King. Even though many of the Chiefs put my name forward, my place is with the Enclave. Old Ivoria is in the hands of fate and I trust our ancient methods to decide the most powerful ruler for our people out of the six remaining contenders.
  Alas, I have a final message for Lantrun Sarvin Solas of the Island Faction. I have something important to share with you that will help our fight against corruption that you and the Shatterbrand have been a tremendous part of thus far. See you in less than a fortnight in Arboran.
  Live. Fight. Love. Die. Rise.
