Letter from Canut Snodaert
Lords and Ladies,

The Undead in Padaost have taken Duke Monford's life. He charged forth into battle prematurely as have some of our number Against express orders and although valiant this has caused the demise of many good men. Monford was my personal friend, the first one I met on the harbour quai of Alebad on my first day here. I will miss him dearly and I will remember our victories and defeats for ever.

I need you all to change your settings to defensive. Back box defensive [3DB] and for the riders rear wedge defensive [4DW].

We will hold our ceremony later and today, if anyone can apprehend the cretinous Brutus, please do.

In anyone knows an adventurer with a scroll of resurrection, let them step forwards.

Your Canut
Canut Snodaert


Letter from Rosalind Poe
We aren't going to bury him here are we?

Can't we at least take him and bury him closer to home far away from the dominion and witches that lurk this way.

He was Senator of Grentzen before me and was my Marshal, I can't leave him here.

Corvus Bennetti,
Rosalind Poe


Letter from Krugg Hall
To Senator Rosalind Poe, I'd bring poor Monford to Alebad where we can make him something nice out of marble, and see him off.

Letter from Canut Snodaert
Lords an Ladies of Halcyon,

The loss of Monford, cavalier extraordinaire of the realm. Our former Doge, our Duke and our Governor. He was slain by the undead dominion in what would have been a grand victory. Our forces outmatched the enemy twice over and our archers alone would have killed every one of them before we made contact. Monford, why did you have to charge out to meet your demise. Like a knight tilting windmills. What role did the perverted Brutus play in the treason? Why did he even have to whitness your untimely death. You were a hero of the republic. An inspiration to all and a pillar of the realm. The unsightly hordes emitting from the darkness did not deserve to strike you down. They were fit only to be ridden down by your steed. We will build a mausoleum in Alebad in your honor if I have to pay for it out of my families own pocket.

A hero's fate is never to grow old. Such was your choice.

Yours,
Canut Snodaert


Letter from Calla Fate
I only knew Monford a brief time but have long admired his long history of heroics. If we cannot resurrect him, he deserves a burial befitting a hero such as he.

Letter from Isidro de Zueww
Woe and grief. If only we had decent intelligent adventures skilled in healing and magic who could save our general, but no, we have Bert who I wouldn't trust to chop the head off a chicken.

Letter from Imrahil Mormont
The loss of Duke Monford is a bitter draft to take. I to counted him as a close friend. This is devastating news for the realm. I will make preparations for the City receiving his body and a day of mourning will be held in our capital.

Letter from Antonio Maxwell
By order of the Duke of Terra Meridionale, all flags are to be put to half mast to mourn the hero.

Letter from Ash Ketchum
It is sad to hear his passing. Monford was a brave hero. I was glad to fight alongside him against the Undead Dominion. Sadly there will be no more next time.

Letter from Desmond Peregrine
A fine man. A fine death. An unfortune loss for us, those who remain in the mortal realm.

Letter from Sevima MacArbin
Nobles of the Sovereign Republic of Halcyon, I write to you today with a heavy heart.

We fought well against the horde today, and after having wounded the cur Brutus so recently, the glory of the battle was thrilling through me. I had planned to send a letter I had been considering for some days, in answer to letters from the good Duke. For with my blood running high, I was ready to accept his proposal.

I will admit, I was not certain until I saw the undead staring down at me with their lidless sockets, when I realized that I was ready. And when I heard the word of his fall, I could only stare at his last letter, reading it over and over. It was little enough, but it was the last he wrote to me.

Letter from Monford Velaryon

(Personal message to Sevima MacArbin) - 3 days, 6 hours, 47 minutes ago

Senator Sevima,

I would like to assure you that I will be sending a runner your way with 200 bonds as soon as I reach the bank again. You have truly done a great job with Brutus and this only strengthens my resolve to pursue betrothal with you. I don't want to sound pushy, but have you given any thought to my proposal?

Signed,
Monford Velaryon
Royal of Halcyon
Duke of Oritolon Superior
Marshal of the Vermillion Knights

While we were not yet betrothed, we would have been, had this day not gone so ill. And so I ask for the right to escort his body back to his beloved city and duchy.

And I ask this: Let me continue his legacy. Let me continue his work in Oritolon, and erect a magnificent statue of him, within eyesight of the palace so I might see his visage each day. Let me be the helpmeet I should have been, to make up in some small way for not answering his letter in time.

As I pledged, and proved true with my fortune and resolve, to see to the repair of the walls of Iglavik, let me pledge this, and give me the chance to prove myself true once again, in building a magnificent monument to a great man in Oritolon.

Let me do him this last honour, that I could not do for him in life.
Sevima MacArbin
