Dearest colleagues,
I just received a letter from my cousin Vereena. She ’ s the only
family member who is as interested as I am in the cause of restoring
my ancestor Honaria ’ s good name. Vereena keeps a wonderful
collection—you could even call it a museum—of our family history.
She curates paintings, heirlooms, and old records from the Alcasti
glory days. I don ’ t know how she manages the hobby with what I
imagine is backbreaking labor on her farm, especially at her age.
At any rate, she stumbled across something remarkable: letters
and a diary written by Honaria herself! She hasn ’ t had time to
read it all, but she says it ’ s about the war, and it looks promising.
I won ’ t ask her to make the trip herself, so I have a favor to ask of
you. Travel to her farm in Andoran and bring back the documents.
I wrote that you are coming. I don ’ t have time to wait for such a
busy woman to find the time to write back to me, but I assure you,
she loves visitors.
Sincerest thanks,
Remaio Alcasti

Trusted associates,
Ah, Qadira, our fiery neighbor! I need you to travel to its deserts
and visit the Ghazali family. They ’ ve acquired Honaria ’ s lost
sword, an item that ’ s appeared in my research into her life. This is no
common blade, but a powerful weapon given to Honaria by the Church
of Aroden. Its existence alone might prove the Alcastis ’ s worth.
I’ ve included the original record of the sword ’ s transfer to
Honaria as a reward for her services to the Church and the Empire.
Show this record to the Ghazali matriarch, Arajida. She should be
reasonable.
Safe travels,
Remaio Alcasti
