[A letter to Nathaniel Blackveil]

[Miranda Marlin]

A seagull drops off a letter at the estate, its contents warded by cantrips against casual nosiness. It lingers long enough to see it picked up and to snatch at any untended victuals

Re: Band of the Four Elements- Dancer-

-Bid- 2000.

-Miranda Marlin, Company Mage Sagebrush Scouting Corps.

Dear Miranda,

First of all, it is Nathaniel BlackVALE, you're lucky the postmaster had the wit to make this letter out to be addressed for me.

I have processed your bids which I am excited to receive.

PS: I have tasked your Captain Meadow with something it'd be grand if you could assist her.

A gull makes its rounds...

Nathaniel Black... vale.

When do you expect bidding to close? I'll keep the money aside until then.

As for the other part- If the captain needs help, that's the job.

PS: If you move to Qadira you should consider changing your name to Nathaniel Blackwhale. Whales are majestic, and it would be in theme with your new coastal residence.

Miranda,

The bidding's just opened. I am doing my best to make the rounds as quickly as possible.

I am majestic.

But Alzorbo is the whale.
