Genar,

I am wondering how you have been faring since you performed the Ritual of Cleansing. My heart is heavy with the pain and suffering the Stout Folk have endured down here in this dismal place. Our kinsman Morgul Vane was seduced by the Dark Path and has sacrificed his life to a Foul God as a result. His allies care not for his demise, and have even stated that he was just a tool.

The thought of any kin being slain and lying forsaken and Clanless is almost too much for me to bear. Then I think of your turnabout and pledge to find the way back to the Moradinsammen and I my heart is lightened.

I'd like you to send me a letter every so often and let me know how your efforts to continue the process that the Cleansing has started. Clangeddin gave you his blessing as you must be a mighty warrior indeed. Now you must continue to find your way back by being noble of thought and deed.

And if you ever need my assistance in any way, please find me as soon as you can or send me a letter to the Rock Bottom Inn with good Spencer.

I pray nightly to Clangeddin to help provide guidance to your soul. The time for a Stout here in the Underdark is short, and we all need Kin and Clan all the more for it.

Your mentor and friend, ~Craddoc Strongaxe~

Roryn,

I am wondering how you have been faring since you performed the Ritual of Cleansing. My heart is heavy with the pain and suffering the Stout Folk have endured down here in this dismal place.

After talking with Lotho and learning that Roryn died bravely sacrificing himself in battle to save his friends calling Clangeddin's name at the very end....

Craddoc goes over to Spencer and asks for the letter to brave Roryn back. Spencer politely returns it.

He slowly tucks it into his pack, thinking about how Roryn had once been a tool of the Banites, and how he Craddoc had worked so hard to return him to the Path of the Moradinsammen.

The only thing that kept tears his eyes from the death of yet another Stout, was the knowledge that he had saved him from the damnation that awaited the Fallen Ones.

Craddoc sighs deeply, looks about to see if there are any other kin in the Rock Bottom Inn, and braces himself for another day down in the foul lands known as the Underdark.
