Mr. Westmore,

Sanctuary doesn't owe her safety to our inside forces alone. If you plan to bring harm to the Fey of the Canals who have, for hundreds of years, kept Dunwarren from being invaded through marine force, I'm afraid you cannot see reason without a forceful hand turning your head.

Mr. Westmore, you've Sanctuary's interest in mind. Our survival, our being. Please cease to mindlessly attempt to put our lives in Kelemvor's clutches and reconsider Sanctuary's future without the Fey.

- Consalt Templer, the Hold

Mister Templer,

I am not so brash as to be doing nothing else but marching men out to wage a hopeless war. Steps are being taken, security measures raised; this is no simple and wreckless undertaking. It is and will be a major movement of a unified Sanctuary; Upper, Lower, New Dunwarren, and the Canal are working in tandem confederacy to make this work, to achieve a victory.

Additionally, I find the logic behind "using" the dark fey at all rather abusrd. They have not proved to be terribly useful in protecting Sanctuary, historically. How many times have the walls in Upper been breached? I believe it was only once, when the inn where the Last Stand now is was destroyed. And how many times have the Lower gates been taken? Twice in the past four months. Every determined force that numbered more than a single boatload has been able to march into the Canal Ward to raise their own flavor of the misery. Even the boat still made it into the harbor, so I don't understand how you can trust these fey to do what they have never done before- protect us from anything at all.

While your concern is noted and appreciated, I am not entirely sure that it is fully correct. Additionally, I more than welcome any further rebuttals or information that may alter my position, but as it stands, the vast majority of city organizations realize the necessity of finishing this business. Progress, prosperity, and peace have high costs, but we must pay it or remain severely economically burdened and without the boon of naval trade.

I hope to hear from you soon, in letter or in person. Until then, fair dark.
