## First Letter

### *Go to Icenaire*

>
>  My dearest daughter, I pray the All-Mother has kept you in good health. If you are reading this, then I am already gone. I bequeath to you, the entirety of my estate and this Vambrace. I know you have questions. The answer you seek will not be found in Edena. You hold now, my Codex Illuminus. Its enchanted pages have been scattered through Icenaire. Should you desire the truth, I bid you follow these instructions: equip this relic and enter the cursed city. The Vambrace will protect you. Find my lost pages and seek the one named Zaquard.

>  *- Your Father, Nicolau Lyric*

This letter is given prior to the start of the game.

## Second Letter

### *The Great Reckoning*

>
>  The Unfettered Cosmos is in flux. The Home of the Eternal Flame is besieged by war and calamities of an unnatural character. The Followers, second children, contend against an eldritch wisdom of which they understand little. Despite their gifts, they are woefully outmatched and the survival of their kind if not guaranteed. Should they survive the Great Disturbance, a period of peace and complacency will follow.

## Third Letter

### *The Celestial Relics*

>
>  The Long Tranquility that follows the Great Disturbance, will end. Celestial Relics are the First Omens that forebode the Long Tranquility's close is drawing near. When these objects manifest, the Followers will seek them out with great curiosity. The Pious will ascribe to them a sacred value and revere them as religious iconography. The Inquisitive will study the relics’ aberrant properties to sate their interests. The Agents of Change will seek to evoke their Powers and master them. The Higher Truth is that these Objects do no belong here.

## Fourth Letter

### *The Agents of Change*

>
>  The Agents of Change are chosen to guide Celestial Relics back into a state of Harmonic Resonance. The manner in which they are chosen is unknown, but their identities may be revealed through Trials of Difficulty or known by those with Sight Beyond. The Frostwind howls around the Agents of Change and they are guided by Cold Souls to achieve their goals by any means necessary. The Agents of Chaos will act first, unintentionally triggering a set of events that may consume the very fabric of Cosmos itself.

## Fifth Letter

### *The Self-Eating Serpent*

>
>  The Agent of Chaos has raised the spectre of the Three-Headed Serpent. In this time of immense peril, an Agent of Order will be compelled to action. The Arcane Barrier between these two individuals must be dispelled to ensure the survival of all life. In doing this, the Great Rivening will occur. There can be only one of two conclusions; either complete oblivion or the liberation of free minds. To avoid Oblivion, the Three-Headed Serpent must be shorn of its Light-Dark Siblings. Only then, will it devour itself.

>
>  - The dispel is “I am Nicolau Lyric”

This letter is given after defeating Cynderia, The Priest.
