To the Watch,
I am Senestia Avarscanti and I write to you on behalf of Gil Smith, an honourable and brave man wishing to enroll within the Watch.
Gil is a devout and loyal Helmite, characteristics that would clearly make him an excellent Watchman. He always approaches his duty with a serious mindset and is never hesitant to do everything within his power to protect those in his company.
I would like to relay a specific situation which I believe exemplifies Gil's character. A group and I that included Gil were traveling through the old tunnels that lead out towards the Underdark when we were beset by thugs. During the situation, Gil showed tact and a steady mind as he prepared for the worse but waited while an attempt to negotiate with the thugs was underway. Once we all realized that the situation would result in violence, Gil was quick to call upon Helm and attempted to protect the group as much as possible. During this event, Gil was defeated but this is not in anyway indicative of any lack of martial skill but rather his courage and bravery. We were all out numbered, out-armed, and poorly enchanted in comparison to our attackers. That Gil stood his ground against them speaks in a much greater volume than him being defeated. In fact, I have worked and adventured with Gil on numerous other occasions and can say without any doubt that he is martially skilled.
I hope you take my words and thoughts into consideration in regards to Gil Smith. He is a man that would surely improve Sanctuary were he to be accepted into the ranks of the Watch.
Best regards and a beautiful day to you, Senestia Avarscanti
