A Letter Delivered to Kairn at the Crone.

This letter is labelled for Kairn Duskfall on the outside, and is delivered to the Crone.

To the traitor and Drow-lover,

The Drow you fraternized with and his Lizard friend have been slain. You are a traitor to your kind, and soon all will know it. Challenge Sergeant Coronado at your peril. As if you do, then I will see that you are slain for it, mid-fight. And when you die, the Seldarine will cast your soul screaming into the Demonweb Pits where you will be tormented for all eternity for your transgressions.

You do not have long to beg forgiveness and seek redemption.

It is pathetic, that a human, understands that Drow are a threat, more than one of the People does. And it is sad, that I have to may have to seek the death of one of the People, but traitors must be dealt with. Beg forgiveness to myself, and stay away from a friend of those who truly follow the Seldarine's tenets. You do not have any other option.

-A Black Archer.

Kairn asks the person who delivered the mail to take the following message back to whoever sent it if possible

Please meet with me so I can explain things in person. If you are unable or unwilling to do so, I hope you bear the following in mind :

I am down here in Lower for KILLING a drow weapon master, effectively exiled for no other reason than that.

The only time I helped the lizardman was when he asked me to kill trolls with him. At that time I didnt know he kept company with a drow at all.

I have to share an inn with a drow, a lizardman, and a necromancer. I wanted to believe that their intentions were good because to not believe that would've meant igniting a war in the Crone, a place that has become a comfort to me. I wanted to watch them to make sure they did nothing wrong. If this was weak and offensive to the Seldarine, please forgive me. I thought I was doing the right thing.

I truly want to defend Sanctuary, both upper and lower, from its enemies. I fought against the fire goblins and I fought the drow weapon master because he was killing all of Sanctuaries warriors. I would continue to do things like this if Alejandros spite, the undeserved hatred of a watchman, did not force me to hide in Lower.

I don't know who you are. From your tone I believe you to be a cleric of the Black Archer. I swear every word I have set down here is true. I want no strife with you or any other follower of the Seldarine. If I have to beg your forgiveness for my weaknesses I will do that.

Either way, as one of the People I want to meet you. Please send word.

-Kairn

Traitor,

You wanted to believe their intentions were good? 'Good'? That alone tells me that you have betrayed the Seldarine.

I have no care to meet with you, after reading this letter. Just because you killed one Drow, does not mean I should forgive you for consorting with another, and believing its intentions were 'good'.

I will be watching you to see if you are worthy of forgiveness, but at the moment, you're not even close to deserving it. I don't want to have to kill one of the Seldarine's children, not even a fallen one, but continue on your current course, and I will see no other avenue.

-A Black Archer

Whoever you are,

I believed their talk about wanting to make Lower secure against Chosen because I wanted to believe it. I figured I could always do something about them later.

I was weak, lazy, and negligent. The moment I learned he was a drow I should have looked for a chance to strike at him. I did not.

Please forgive me. I don't know why you don't want me to duel the seargant, but I won't.

My sins of apathy and inaction have more than sufficed to earn your contempt and scorn, and that of the Black Archer and Corellon. I can pray to them for forgiveness, but all I can do to breach the gap between you and I is write this pathetic letter.

Tell me how I can make amends, I beg you

-Kairn
