A Letter to Aubrey

[Runic]

[A letter written on fine vellum and stamped with the seal of the Sublime Gardens.]

Lyrist Domergue,

In recent days, two of our wonderful and most sublime scribes have decided to seek greener pastures. Both specifically are wishing to join your illustrious College. This is a letter of recommendation for each of them, and once the paperwork has been filed for their removal from our books I would humbly suggest you seize the opportunity to recruit them as students.

First is Barend Hoensbroeck, an avid author and aspiring newspaper creator. His skill with words is impeccable, as is his filing. The man has so many very neat and organised files it almost feels as if I'm in Clercq again. The man can spin any words into a beautiful tapestry, and his craft would be most suitable within your halls.

Secondly is Niccolad, an aspiring painter and artist. He was very much pushed into our order by his cousin's fiance, and all it has done is stunt his confidence in himself and his brush. However, he is a kind and sweet soul, and in our talks he has expressed interest in your college due to his friendship with your student Saria. I believe she will be a good influence on him, and inspire him to create wonderful works.

If you are to interview them, let this letter express the Pyramid's utmost recommendation for their tutelage at the Balladeer's College.

Yours cordially,
Scribe de Clercq

Jaecop,

Thank you for this glowing review of these men of vigor and passion.

I have had the pleasure of making the acquaintance of Niccolad and have been sizably impressed by his demeanor.

Whatever their aspirations or desires, it is my hope that both of these men will contribute to the betterment of Ephia's Well and the securance of its most verdant future.

Should you require anything additional from we of the Cinquefoil Rose - in an official capacity as a member of the Sublime Garden or merely a personal request as a friend of the Lost Hearth - you are ever welcome to ring the bell and ask for me in person.

Truth in Action,
