Cleaver Letter
Type of Missve: Private
April 26th, 1009 M.R.
Date: April 26th, 1009 Responses: None. Unto Acolyte Cleaver of the Shield, As always, I do hope this letter finds you safe and alone. If not, do not continue until you are in such a state to receive this imperative without interruption or intrusion. If you are in a secure location, then please read on. I am aware that you may still have hesitations about the task before you and I will assure that yes, you are being honored with the weight of the request I am about to place upon you. As such, I must impress upon you again the importance of secrecy and subtlety in the upcoming days. The preparations have been completed as of today and we are ready to proceed with the summoning. I presume that you are on guard and prepared to meet whenever it is requested, as per our agreement. As such, your orders are as follows. Your presence shall be required one week hence at the appointed place and time that you were informed of in our earlier correspondences. Wards shall be in place as expected, and you are to have yourself prepared to bypass them in the manner you were instructed. Creatures will be placed in the surrounding area as soon as possible, so promptness is mandatory. If you do not follow these instructions precisely, I will not be at fault if you find yourself in an unfortunate situation. The summoning will occur as planned with or without you. Let me remind you again about the risk we are taking in this endeavor. We will be positioned somewhat near to the White Leaves, which may prove to be a deterrent for lesser men. However, I have no doubt that you are not one of these lesser men and will be willing to brave the area. Surely you agree that the power of this land, combined with the position of the stars and the perfect timing are well worth the risk, considering the sheer amount of overwhelming magic that it will allow us to utilize. Remember as an added incentive that this magic will soon be ours, along with the rewards that the Grand Master Wizard shall undoubtedly bestow upon all who aid his escape. I am also aware that you may be concerned by the possible obstacles that may be presented to us by certain others. To dispel your worry, let me assure you that I have called upon certain allies to fend off any possibility of attack or disruption. With this in mind, I do implore you to steel yourself and keep yourself focused on our goals and the task at hand. And do not forget the accolades and power that await you when we succeed. And we will succeed, of this there is no doubt. One last topic that it is imperative we discuss immediately is that of your personal mission. As stated above, I have already arranged for the creatures to be placed in the field as you suggested. The distraction absolutely must not lose the attention of any of those self-proclaimed “heroes” and it is up to you to make sure things happen according to plan. Exactly according to plan. Of course, I am sure you will have no qualms with the ceremony, as I have already been informed of the quick work you made of those infuriating Hammers who attempted to inform the king of our plans. I hope you have perfected the flaws in your earlier plans and trust that they will no longer present a problem. I presume also that your Headmaster has not grown wise to the plan, as it would be quite poor for him to learn that his student is plotting his demise. It is up to you to ensure that he remains unaware and accompanies you to the site as planned. Again, this is tantamount to allowing the summoning to going off without a hitch, and your role is one of the most vital. Do not take it lightly. Remember also, Acolyte, that by accomplishing this task, you will rise to the higher ranks of the Guild, priming you to assume the position of the Pentarchs of Summoning. Do not take such a statement lightly, either, as I am sure you are more than aware of the great and illustrious honors this shall bestow upon you, not to mention the knowledge and power that a man of your loyalty and dedication clearly deserves. All who aid in our ceremony shall be vastly rewarded, and you shall stand out as one of the critical members who made this possible. Acolyte Cleaver, the best of luck to you. Do not stray from your duties and do not allow yourself to become weak or distracted. What we are about to accomplish is monumental, and we will go down in history as the greatest Mages who ever lived. Sincerely yours, Lord Roger Byecross, High Master of the Circle |
