[A sealed letter for Preparator Shahlil left in the Creep]

[cmenden]

Dear Preparator Shahlil,

I have a sizable donation for your temple that I would see delivered in person. It is my hope that you will have some time to answer a few questions of mine.

As far as the bounty goes, Cosine could not be dissuaded as he has tasted power and fears nothing more than the loss of said power.

To confront the fact that Apothar Vergal's death was a boon to the entirety of Ephia's Well and that Apothar Vergal did not have some grand destiny beyond dying at your hand would be to confront the possibility that maybe Apothar is just a word and holds no greater meaning at all for the vast majority, including himself.

Male stubbornness and pride extend even to the short and sniveling, but personally, I would still prefer you not kill him.

Regards,
Apothar Estellise Azimi
