Temphere Letters

## Letter #1 from Anther's Criminal Contact

Dear Anther,

You don’t give me any task by halves, eh? Kidding, kidding! I hope you’re doing well - the fact you’re working with a group was certainly a surprise. I hope your job in Caellond went well - I heard something about a successful garden party adventure in that direction, but my circles don’t quite intersect with the adventuring racket much. You’re well enough to write letters, so that’s a good sign, but your questions have me a little worried.

Regarding plants - I guess your garden adventure got wrapped up in whatever’s going on with plants in other places? Most of what I’ve heard is pretty hearsay, but I did hear a lot about some nasty business in Silvershire. Two giant biting flowers sprang up, and they had to get a dragon to burn down. Apparently a band of adventurers had to book a retreat when they tried to attack them. They might even have lost one of their own to it; it’s hard to say what’s true and what’s just a dramatic rumor.

I did hear someone found something in the ashes and has been trying to pawn it off on a buyer. If you’re looking for seeds, that could be it. The details have been pretty sketchy, but I can look into it and see what my friends have heard.

I haven’t been near the sea lately, so I can’t tell you much about sahuagin. If I pass through a port town, I’ll try and find some sailors and see if they can tell me anything, but I’d be surprised. I had to ask about sahuagin just to find out what they were, so I imagine if something that bizarre were roaming about, rumors would have gotten around by now. And absolutely nothing about a deep scion, whatever that is - I couldn’t find that even by asking. Do I want to know?

And finally, the Lady - I’m presuming you do mean she of Queen Tramaris’ court, in Allanar? This might be the strangest set of information you’ve asked me for all at once. Anyhow - she’s dead, so I hope you weren’t wanting anything from her personally. It was maybe thirty years ago or so now? Not too long by elven standards, and it was a bit of a sensation given how hard it is to get to an Allanar noble. It seems someone caught her on a carriage journey between her house and her sister’s. Apparently the carriage was found rammed off the road and the Lady with a knife in her back.

I’m not personally shedding tears over an Allanaran noble, though. I hope any warforged in her service booked it, and hopefully some of the people in her barony, too. If I remember correctly, her sister took over. I’m not sure what exactly she’s in charge of, people seem to be unsure.

I hope that was all helpful. Send me many more odd questions like these and I’m going to have to come find you myself to see what you’ve gotten yourself into. But in all seriousness - be careful. I’m not sure what you’re tangled up in but this much strangeness can’t be good. Write back soon - and let me know if you need yours truly to pay you a visit!

- [name redacted, as that has not come up yet]

P.P.S - Last-minute addition. Might have to take back the offer to buy whatever was in the ashes of those flowers. Apparently the Moonshiners got their hands on whatever it is.

## Letter from Ibereai to McGuiggan

Dear McGuiggan,

I’ve heard you and your friends had quite the adventure while the crossover was closed! The rumors sound quite intriguing, I’m very curious if they are true.

Sadly I’ve also heard that Lord Valanthe may wish a word with me, and I have an unfortunate suspicion as to why. I’ll discuss things with him shortly, but perhaps we can have a friendly conversation before then? I have something I would like to show you, and some news I think you would like to hear - both free of obligation, as the former will help with the quest you’re already doing for me, and the latter would satisfy my curiosity.

If you’d do me the honor of a little meeting, please come to the public park along Greencourt tonight. There’s a lovely view of the crossover there, and enough people around I think you should feel quite safe, if you should feel need of that.

Also, please bring your viol.

Yours most sincerely,

Ibereai
