[Written with a delicate hand is a well-sealed letter. The envelope is dyed a light green and has a drawing of scales on the front. In the scales are that of a skull, and that of a hyssop flower. Perfectly balanced. It looks decently drawn with some modicum of skill. It is sent with one of the Speakers who visit upon the mound.]

Greetings, ibn Almunthah, Elder of the Sepulchre,

It is firstly an honor to write to you even in hopes that my letter may find its way to you, and the Elders. I am writing to you to introduce myself and create a connection between myself and the Church of the Twindari. My name is Noxieos Adalsteinn. I am a Speaker of the Twindari.

I hail from the small and cold city of Frostport, after living most of my life as an orphan from there I began to wander the world under the blessings of the Martyrs. My past is unfortunately, one of sadness. My parents were killed by those who defile the dead, and my dearest love was taken by 'The dead that walk'. Such, I have taken up the role of Witness within the Twindari.

In my wanderings, I have been led now to Ephia's Well, from my treks out far West, just at the edges of the Edutu. It was here that the voices of the restless dead called out to me, beckoning me to the Well. It is here that I must reside for a long time to do my work, recording those who have passed, aiding those through grief, understanding the law, and witnessing the beauty of life, and sadness of death. I am a singer, a lamenter, and a mourner of the lost. I have found that by singing songs of mourning, the dead find rest and repose. It is my goal to become more connected to the Martyrs and walk a path in service to the Twins.

I write to you of the four Elders, because I heard that you had listened to the voice and sat with Kalim upon the banks of the Edutu, conversing. I believed it would be you who might understand my pain the most. Thus, I sought your infinite wisdom.

At the kind guidance of my current mentor, my tutor, and my guide, Preparator Tariq Salah. He has bid me to write a letter and create this connection between the Church of the Twindari, in hopes of being bestowed the official title of Witness Noxieos Adalsteinn. And, perhaps in time, I will be granted permission to visit the Adliye within Baz'eel and learn from the tomes and history there.

In such, I would ask of you a question. As a Witness, and Twindari, I have begun to record those who have lived and who have passed in a Book of the Dead. To remember and sanctify them. I ask of you this; should an assassin, one who has murdered a Priest of the Wheel. Should they be remembered in this most holy tome of the lost as well?

Thank you, for taking the time to read over this letter. I shall patiently await your words of wisdom. I walk through the reeds as the scales righten. May fruit bear your works.

-Noxieos Adalsteinn, of the Twindari.
