Ivandur,

I trust you are well.

I am about to embark on a most ambitious partnership with a man, who goes by the name of Stark. I have found him to be honest and forthcoming, but was told not to trust him. I believe Faybian told me this, though I may be mistaken.

In any event, I value your opinion and would appriciate any advice that you could give. If you are not aware, then perhaps Dell knows something? I would write him myself, but do not know where he stays.

On another topic, I have spent much time praying for guidence regarding the morality we spoke of earlier. I have not reach a conclusion, it will require more prayer.

Health, and happiness

If you ask me if I see what Vyle sees, and if this is the "Stark" I believe it to be, then I will have to concur with the Helmite on this matter.

Men are like finely cut gems. They've many facets and it is the wicked ones whom will reveal one side to your face, and then show another in your absence.

If you wish my advice, I would suggest you do not aid him. Though exceptions may be made, they must be very specific and important. What exactly are you planning with this "Stark"? More importantly, why is his specific aid needed? Why could you not find a man whom is not suspicious?

I would look upon whatever you plan with great scrutiny and determine what a man of less than savory standards would have to gain from it. If you cannot find anything, do not forget that the vile can almost always find a way to benefit off something, even if you may not see it. Perhaps he simply strives to improve his public image so that he may trick others into thinking he is a good man.

Finally, there may be the chance he is seeking redemption by aiding you in whatever you plan. If this is the case, I would keep him at arms length until you are sure that is what he seeks. I cannot emphasize the regret we would all be victim to if we pushed a guilty man away who sought to make amends, only to feed the fires of spite to make a greater demon.

We may talk at greater length personally, or you may write for further council.
