Letter to Estellise Azimi

[illumination]

(Written in a flowery, ostentatious hand, more like well-practiced calligraphy than handwriting.)

To Apothar Estellise Azimi:

My name is Lujayn al-Farisyya, the younger daughter of Ghalib. I am the likely candidate for the League of Purple in the upcoming election. I feel we would have much to discuss, if you would grant me a meeting! Conversation with you comes so highly recommended, I simply must seek it!

As befits a person of your station, I have arranged for a luxurious meal to be shared at the restaurant Casa Manta here in Ephia's Well. I would so love it if you joined me!

The proprietor is prepared for a potential plus-one as you may desire, and accommodation of your schedule.

Lujayn bint Ghalib ibn Ahlam al-Farisyya

To Apothar Estellise Azimi:

My name is Lujayn al-Farisyya, and I will be the candidate of the League of Purple in the upcoming election. I am sure your duties as an Apothar are expansive and unending, but I yet hope for the opportunity to speak with you.

As mentioned in my prior letter, it would be my pleasure to share a special meal with you at the restaurant Casa Manta here in Ephia's Well; if you prefer another setting, I would of course be grateful for the opportunity to meet.

Thank you.

Lujayn bint Ghalib ibn Ahlam al-Farisyya

Dear Lujayn bint Ghalib ibn Ahlam al-Farisyya,

I apologize for the delay in my return correspondence. I have been extremely busy far from anywhere that I can be plagued by murmurings related to wars and orcs.

Your venue of choice has been compromised since before its namesake perished, so yes, I would prefer literally any other option.

If we are unable to meet, know that I am content with what I have heard of you from those I have spoken to within the Tower, so you are navigating these affairs quite adroitly.

However, the Nadiri are incapable of detecting betrayal the way that I am. If you plan to betray me and my efforts, then you would do well to just give up now, rather than see your existence unraveled utterly.

Regards,
Estellise Azimi
