To Verisa Fireheart

The Council received the following letter, as a Sunite yourself, I thought you might be interested in this. Are you familiar with this man?

Further more, the idea you presented few months back is again something to consider. Perhaps you could seek me out and we could discuss this in more detail.

I do hope the letter finds you in good health.

Yours, Wyric

Honored Councilors of Sanctuary,

In my brief time in the city of Sanctuary, I have discerned a void in the social lifestyle of the city that I believe should be remedied. That void is the apparent lack of any balls, galas, or celebrations, open to all the people of the city, to commemorate the city's victories, achievements, and progress.

I have no doubt that some of you consider such events to be frivolous undertakings that detract from Sanctuary's stated goal of survival in a harsh Underdark. You have organized tournaments, which do well to allow the adventurers and combatants of Sanctuary to train, compete, and be rewarded for their skills. You have organized memorials, to remember and honor the sacrifices of the valiant fallen. Yet, from what I perceive, little is done to reward and bring together the living victors of Sanctuary as whole.

Events such as balls and galas in honor of Sanctuary's victories and achievements are crucial to improving and sustaining the morale of Sanctuary's people. Sanctuary has become a city in every sense of the word-its people need rewards, they need to mingle, they need to know that their hard work, their struggles, their sacrifices, will mean a better life for them, and their children. The mind of any man or woman is not content simply to exist-all beings find joy in the service of higher causes. The people of Sanctuary need to know that the romance of a dance, the intimacy of a conversation, and the joy of a celebration are not simply restricted to the surface.

The Hall of the now-defunct Seekers would be an easily appropiate place for such a venture. The lower floor could be open to the common citizen, with the upper floors left to the whims of Sanctuary's nobility. A celebration in honor of Sanctuary's new governing contract, and its bright future under this system, could be held. Sanctuary's people would be able to see a testament to the better days that this new government promises, which would likely boost their support for the Council, as well as lift their spirits in their daily tasks. The resources required to conduct such a gala would be minimal-and when compared with the uplift in the city's spirits that such an event would bring, I hope that you will find such an event to be worthy of consideration and implementation.

This is a simple means to improve both your standing with your people, their standings with others, and their standings with themselves. It is my sincere belief, and hope, that you find merit in the proposal.

Correspondence may be returned to the Last Stand Inn, should you wish to relay letters.

Valaron Sunellar, Knight Initiate of the Ruby Rose, in service to Lady Sune Firehair

Dear Wyric,

Sandy thrust this message in my face while I was trying to practice. Luckily he wasn't skewered. I think its a wonderful idea and you know how much I would enjoy it. Why don't you help me assist in this? I have a super idea for something to add a dash of colour to a gala event. Who is this Valaron?

Your friend

As apparently your sister does not even read her own mail, so perhaps you can do some research. I do not know who this man is, which is why I asked the matter. He is Sunite, and I thought she shares your sister's order, if I am not mistaken.

Secondly the ball is not in favorable winds currently, but of course anything can change.

Interesting and yet i have not heard of this man.

...sorry i have been out on business again. My last trip, my love.

I shall speak to you on my return!

Verisa.
