[quote][color=lemonchiffon][i]To the Grand Illuminary, High Priest Iakovou of the Sun,

I hope this letter finds you in robust health and good humor as you continue to guide and enlighten the proud kingdom of Aurelia. My journey to Dawnhaven was comfortable and swift, under the care of the good men and women of who escorted me, and I again thank you for the opportunity to aid the church’s mission in this way. 

The settlement is a testament to His Highness’ enthusiasm in seeking an end to the blight by any means necessary. Though I have yet to formally make introductions with the Prince, he was gracious enough to visit with me on my first day and personally see to my comfort and safety. He has erected a beautiful temple to Aelios, worthy of her light, just above an abundance of hot springs. I am grateful to keep the sacred flame burning, as is my duty. 

I am ever mindful of the great task set before me by Her Highness the Queen, and as required I shall write her a letter at the end of this week with my observations. However, I felt compelled to first write you with a matter of some urgency. I believe Aelios has granted me with a vision. Though my ability for prophecy is still modest and unreliable, earlier today I awoke from a dream of much gravity. It was as though I felt the goddess herself, burning back the shadows and commanding me to witness. 

The vision’s message is opaque, as my skill in interpretation is still dwarfed by your own. But were this an exercise under your tutelage, I would venture that the goddess, in her unknowable wisdom, has shown me the visage of a blight-born man newly arrived in Dawnhaven named Willis. She commanded that I “seek the violet flow” in his veins. Notably, the transformation brought about by the blight has turned his blood purple. 

With your permission I would like to share my capacity for prophecy with His Highness. Though my visions are still underdeveloped and not yet reliable, I believe that the present circumstances warrant the disclosure. If Willis has been deemed important by the Goddess, then should His Highness not be informed? Perhaps his blood can in some way be helpful in the search for an end to the blight. Moreover, Willis is a well meaning but somewhat unpredictable member of Dawnhaven. The Prince, in an over abundance of caution for the other citizens of Dawnhaven, may come to the conclusion that Willis is unfit for residence within the settlement. If he is cast out, we may lose an instrumental tool in bringing back Aelios’ light. Allowing the Prince to know of my vision, unreliable as it may be, would at least ensure we are able to explore and exhaust all available options. 

I will, of course, defer to your good judgement and wisdom. I humbly await your guidance. 

In the light and warmth of the Sun,

Priestess Tingara Tomae

P.S.
I have spent the night in Dawnhaven, and am writing this immediately upon waking. I believe Aelios has shown me another vision. There was no direct instruction this time, only a guiding force compelling me towards a cave in the mountains. I again request your leave to tell His Highness about my visions, even if they may not be fully developed. [/i][/color][/quote]
