Addressed to the War Wizard Ambrose

[Runa Rothgar]

Ambrose,


    It has been sometime and I pray this letter reaches you in good health.  It has been such awhile that I am unsure if you have retired or still decorated in the prestigious robe of Cormyrians elite Wizards?

I may resurge some past memories but since Mister Blue has passed on from this world and you were one of the prime creators of the Planarnaut Suit, I need a little knowledge pertaining to such wondrous invention.

I was studying in the Museum and I need more detailed information regarding the Air Elementals.  My Lord, Baron Crownsilver has concerns regarding utilizing Elementals as laboerers to perform construction work on the Mage Tower and possibly future endeavors.

The Air elementals in the Planar suit was considered free will and voluntary, if I am not mistaken.  Is this something that can be reproduced?  We do not wish to step outside the laws of Cormyr or the boundaries of Morals. 

If you know the protocols and/or methods to use Elementals without hindering Cormyrain Ideals, so that the Mage Guard can bring closure to this dilema; the Reservists , Valkurs Roar , and especially our Baron,  would be most grateful.

You are more than welcome to visit or allow us to do any leg work that needs to be done


    Your dear friend,

    Runa Rothgar, Priestess of Oghma, Commissioner and Captain of the Reserve Guard VR

In the Suzail War Wizard's tower, Atticus the Receptionist received the day's post. Idly he leafed through the sealed leatters, documents, reports, and periodicals that made their way to the tower following the turn of the year.

Atticus adjsuted his spectacles.

The Cormyte Coronet had published an end of year special.

The cover story was an expose asking the question, "Is the Jolly Spirit of the North Real?" Sessily Chipperbeak had interviewed the folk of Suzail about sightings. The artist Ansel Greyslate had dutifully sketched a depiction of each encounter, including a reported visit by the Jolly Spirit to the Prancing Bull brothel. The final entry included a drawing of Editor-in-Chieftian Knittrick Cornpepper holding a lump of coal.

Flipping a few pages, the War Wizard glanced at articles covering Waterdhavian fashion, the spread of narcotics, lyrics for the top three songs from the recent Battle of the Bards, coverage of tragedy in the Western Reach, and on. Adverts by the Thayan Enclave of Marsember, Twimby's Eastern Imports, and Alakaboom's. The obituaries included a few executions. His interest waned after glancing at the tarot card readings.

Charlatans.

Flipping through he glanced at the latest issues of Cormyrian Woman and Horse and Rider.

With a sigh of tedium he rose from the chair and carried the periodicals for deposit in the waiting area reading box. He collected the previous issues to distribute to the prisoners later.

Returning to his desk, Atticus inspected the next document. Sigglehomph's Treaties on the Sentience of Fungi, Oozes, and Slimes.

Maybe one for Jestra and the Monster Hunters.

Atticus squinted at the next letter in the pile and a smile came to his aged face. He dipped the exotic quill in the well of ink and scribed the forward address.

Ambrose old boy, I hope the Jolly Spirit was good to you this season...of course he's real.
