A Note Carefully Left Under the Door in the Building in the Ayyabas [DM]

[Haroshia]

To Those who Guard this Place,

Greetings.  I am sure you have seen me place this note, and pray you will forgive the intrusion.  I am a scholar of Ephia's Well, devoted to learning the shames and sorrows of the past so that we might avoid them in the future.  I wander, with Warad's blessing, to find new roads as he commands and help provide knowledge of them to those who can make the best use of it to help renew the world. 

It seems, given the actions in the conflict against the Sibilant south of Nusrum, that it may be useful for us to open a line of communication.  The one we call the "Tonsured" that guides that child with the Cup seems to obviously run contrary to your interests, but we are blind to their intent or their abilities.  It is my fear that the flailing in the dark of those in the Well will only cause more harm to your cause. 

I understand your desire to remain secret, and to keep things guarded, and understand if you do not wish to respond to this desperate plea.  Even so, if you wish to meet and discuss please leave a note in response tucked in the stones near the bones of the Drake at the tomb where it has been written Phor lies, alongside the Giant's Road.  I will check there, every day, for seven days.  I expect you will be watching me as I do so.  If I do not get a response in that time, I will assume you are not interested in speaking. 

Live and drink.

The letter is slowly whittled away by ash, wind, and time - unanswered.
