Lady Winter,
as has undoubtedly come to your attention, I have spent the past week gathering adventurers to investigate the Zhentarim activity in the Stonelands and other areas surrounding your fair town. What we found were ill tidings indeed – their necromancers defiling your graveyard, orc and goblinkind being trained and equipped for war, and during our last foray, we found even worse news. Plans signed by no less than Fzoul Chembril for subjugating more of the Forest Kingdom, starting with the lands surrounding their keep, on a clone of the infamous Manshoon. I have attached a copy of the recovered plans for your perusal; if you wish to see the original recovered, please seek me out.
The Zhentarim are readying their forces. Below your town, in the Stonelands, and in their own dark fortress. Their undead forces are heavily armored and include not just men, but undead beholders. Their goblins slaves are countless, their orcs elites that can bring down even the most experienced of warriors. Their own troops include formidable spellcasters both arcane and divine, and we found their basic footsoldiers to have been rendered invulnerable to non-enchanted weaponry – little bother to well-equipped adventurers, but utterly devastating for other infantry.
While we’ve successfully interrupted several operations of theirs and even dared a brief raid of their keep during which we recovered aforementioned plans, I fear small parties of adventurers can only do so much to permanently remove such a threat from your lands. I’ve been seeking to gain the attention and aid of the crown, but a lone paladin’s voice carries little weight in these dark times, and so I call upon you Lady Winter, to add your voice to ours. Give us formal authority to defend the town, take us in as your guard and that of your people. With the support of the Crown, we can drive the Banites away from our borders and end this threat to Eveningstar, once and for all.
I’m looking forward to your response, and would gladly discuss our findings with you in person should you find the time for such. If not, please leave word for me at the Triadic Keep or the Temple of the Defenders.
May the Gods be with us in these trying times.
Yours faithfully,
The Fellowship of The Key
