Valas the Red,

As I've written previously, any information found on the Tomb of Asherak will be rewarded greatly. If you can divine the location of the tomb, or find any artifacts previously recovered from the tomb, I will pay handsomely, and consider this very strongly in your favor when it comes time to choose a group to enter the place.

I recommend asking the people and institutions of the town called Sanctuary, as I believe it was from that settlement the last group departed.

Sincerely,

Thomas Alqvin

Master Alqvin,

We will begin the search for this tomb of Asherak at once. I have but a few questions that you could perhaps answer to speed the search.

You mentioned this Asherak was a mage, I assume you would then likely know his race as well? And second what artifacts were known to be recovered, or is that uncertain?

Valas the Red

Valas,

The Archmage Asherak is shrouded deeply in legend, however, I believe he was human. In most depictions of him in the later, more accomplished years of his life, he was missing his right hand. He is most reknowned for his incredible research and advances in the areas of negative plane manipulation and necromancy.

Although, all I have learned thus far from the people I have questioned is that a group left Sanctuary to explore a very dangerous tomb or dungeon, and only a few returned alive. I am not sure whether those survivors still live, or whether their friends or acquaintances still call Sanctuary their home.

Sincerely,

Thomas Alqvin
