Letter to Arnvald

Letter to Arnvald is a quest item in .
It can only be obtained if Geralt decides to help Cerys during the quest King's Gambit, and subsequently lets Arnvald die (including if he escapes). The letter is only then found in the secret compartment.
It is the same letter that incriminates Birna Bran regardless of what happens with Arnvald, but though the ending cutscene of the quest shows Geralt handing it over, it is only added to the inventory under the above-described conditions, and stays in after the quest completes.
== Journal entry ==
:Arnvald,The great moment is nigh. Do not let me down, and I will shower gold and gratitude upon you.You are to do the following. Before the feast, you will put the maerdrome mushrooms included in this letter into one of the barrels of mead, and then pour a measure of human blood in after them. You will give the drink thus seasoned to the Vildkaarls - it will cause them to transform. Note that they are not aware of our plan - that should remain the case to the very end. Think of the Vildkaarls not as allies, but as tools.Once the deed is done, leave Kaer Trolde as quickly as possible. My men will await you on the beach as promised, and will hide you until matters calm.Some will call you a traitor. A disgrace. Do not listen to those fools. You have shown great courage by standing on the right side of history.Glory to Skellige,The Future King

== Notes ==
* Despite dialogue in cutscenes saying that the letter is from Birna, and even explicitly described as unsigned, its journal entry contents are signed by "The Future King". While that could be dismissed as a secret codename, there is a lot of cut content around the major quests in Skellige and it is more likely that Svanrige was originally intended as the plotter, and the letter's appearance under such contrived conditions is simply the one case where the developers forgot to remove it from.
