[indent][I]Dear mother and father,

Thank you for your last letter. I received it in good order. I'm glad to learn that you are still well. Tell Julia that I am sorry I could not be there for the birth of her child. I look forward to reading what he will be named. Hector, perhaps? I promise to visit at least once before he has learned to swing a sword.

As for your inquiry about my current activities, father, I have good news. One of the local hunters has found the entrance to an undisturbed ancient Nordic tomb. It is well-known that the ancient Nords used to bury all manner of valuables with their honored dead, so this is a promising lead. I have met several like-minded and capable individuals who have agreed to come with me to explore the tomb and recover what we can. You would like one of them, I believe; a Dark Elf by name of Balen Oril. He is a scholar of history and told me he used to run a book shop. There is also Breton healer with us, a woman named Raelynn, whom Ibram would most certainly fall in love with.  

We set off tomorrow. I will write you another letter with my findings when we return.

Give everyone my love. Yours faithfully,
	Hector Sibassius[/I][/indent]
