Letter to Makabi

A letter is left with Armand by a frail and sharply coughing young woman. It is addressed to 'Ordinant Makabi'. She asks that it be read to him at a convenient time.

Tarsahk 24th, 153

Dear Tal Quin,

I am in awe of the tragedy that has befallen you, kind knight. I will pray to Mystra and your Savras that your eyes be returned to you immediately. It is apparent that few fight for the truth to be revealed more than you do.

I cannot help but notice how aligned your previous vision of the temple is to the recent attack and curse once again placed upon New Dunwarren. In your publicly published writings held at the Sanctuary Library:

Tarsakh 19, 153
    A sharp quill pen wrote: Temples consecrated in the ancient manner, they will reject the excess foundations, taking only their first and humane laws, chasing, though not entirely, the cult of saints.
It appears a true enough revelation of the foundation of and flaws apparent in the Temple of Tyr on the former Dunwarren hill. I too, am a diviner of Mystran teachings - and though it is shames one to come to an understanding of a god-given vision in hindsight, the gift of prophecy need not be abandoned; regardless of personal circumstances. In this, I encourage you to continue your vigil.

Along another line of thought; I wish to learn more of your direct involvement in the death of Phandiates. Not for some glib desire to know unnecessary details; but to know the extent to which the illithid 'master' may still maintain control over other citizens of Sanctuary and beyond. Please muse on this.

If there is anything I can do to aid you, Ordinant, in your personal and public quest to reveal the meaning of your visions, do not hesitate to ask me.

Yours sincerely,

- Somniis Szul. Diviner Adept, Research Scholar, Tracker.

A sharp quill pen sloppily Madam Szul,

I was pleased to hear the content of your letter, and would love the opportunity to get together and speak with you when next you have time. I beg that you do not seek me at the Chapterhouse because of the disease, instead I will try to find you in the town proper.
