{Erased}

I am Allivarn Fireheart. The pages below are my story thoughts.

I considered sending this letter to the "Scholar" but I thought better of it. But still, it is something akin to a work of art.

Dear Aleczumberzel,

I shall refrain from the courtesies of introducing myself in this letter for reasons of self-protection should this letter be discovered; I merely wish to say the following.

I sympathize with your position since you were harassed and few people were willing to listen, While undeath is not profitable business to make one's major trade, it does reveal a huge store of wealth in merchandise of the arts of necromancy. The very laws of this town forbid the trading in such wares and have become a great source of frustration and consternation. I am sorrowed that knowledge is forbidden, and the tools to save life through the arts of undeath is not used. I must admit, I find animating the dead distasteful, but not beyond one's use for the greater good.

I do not condone your trade, but neither do I support it. Your actions have only firmed the resolve of this town to forbid necromancy, and the knowledge comes with. Therefore causing all profit in the matter of this trade to go away. It will takes months to reverse the damage you have caused to this incredible field of potential and wealth.

The smarter way for you was to find political support to do such actions and change the law, I might of even been a willing supporter, albeit secretly, to such research and potential, but I digress, you have ruined this field of magic to such malicious hatred of this town and the more "Scrupulous" citizens that I am not going to stand with you.

While I am sure you have done what you did for the sake of knowledge, sometimes knowledge can kill. As you have slain Seeker Isom and Spellguard Agent Elia Vendrask, who merely wished to protect the sanctity of death and the laws of the town forged by our flotsam council.

I wish you the best of luck in surviving, and please, do not respond.

Now, an enchantment that'll allow me to burn this thing when I die.

Hmm, Sebastion wrote this for me, but I placed it in my own words. Sebastion makes an Excellent Chamberlain I think. This is the Retainer contract for House Fireheart.

~Lord Allivarn Fireheart.

Hmm, Also, all my merchandise shall be sold in auction and the funds given to Verisa, who will do as she sees fit with it, though I do make the suggestion of giving 5% to the retainers as individuals.

Damnation! Clara had to pick -this- time to get married. I couldn't possibly fund the gods damned 9 days of feasting, and tradition be damned!

~Allivarn Fireheart.

...Verisa is dead, I feel as if the world is emptier now,

~Allivarn Fireheart.

I haven't felt this young in a long time, I see the world as a brighter place, I do not know why, but it is time I took the initiative, time I gave a chance for others to grow wealthier instead of adding to my own pocket.

Waukeen, forgive me, I have sinned by failing to spread my wealth into the City of Sanctuary, I have failed to give money freely to beggars and the helpless. I have failed to give to Charity.

I shall change, by the Glory that is yours, I shall change and give a way, a REASON, for all Sanctuarians to step up and give praise to your name.

I am young again, I do not why, but I do not care. I am happy for the first time Verisa died, It is time to take the first steps to universal wealth and a golden age of trade and wealth, poverty non-existent to take place.

I am smiling...for no reason at all.

~Allivarn Fireheart.

It is time for lower to Shine, in two days, they will have the chance, and grow into a prosperous community of trade.

~Allivarn Fireheart.

Bah, I was mugged today, but I hired someone who will end the problem, hopefully he won't get killed.

~Fireheart,

Clara and Edgar have been kidnapped-

Good- this way I don't have to listen to them whining anymore- I don't even intend to pay the ransom.

Waukeen, I have given up my blood, my family, and perhaps my humanity for you. please, give me the power to bring down those would make the merchant live in fear.

~Fireheart.
