To the Abbey Lords of the Western Realm,

Pack up your things and bring no more than blade and bard. You are summoned to the Fourth Council of Northrow by request of Ord-Revenant Abigail Swordshatter.

The topics are as follows:

1. The existence of a new pox on the edges, no doubt spread by the wild irresponsiblities of lingering Medicalers, have rent border towns asunder. Word on the crows also suggest the possibility that such a plague has spread to the east, and we must seriously discuss our responsibilities to our faith-sisters.

2. The collapse of the Ardalian realm, the emergence of the Vsil as a viable military threat after its reclamation of Daggersarry, and the implications of so-called 'Freemen' ideas infiltrating our ranks at home.

The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.

3. The fall of the Midlands and the loss of faithful north Authalia to Ravinder, Queendom no more, for she has taken upon herself the mantle of Empress. We must seriously consider our options on how to engage with the upstart warmonger Septaria, and our plans should dog-lord corsairs show up on our shores.

On advice of Dur-Revenant Galad Castlebreaker, I advise all Abbey Lords to seriously consider the possibility of an Imlados. Such a pilgrimage will require a dramatic number of Revenants and their squires, if Ardal is to be liberated. Should the need arise, you are to be well equipped to do your part for the faithful. Ensure all preparations are ready before you leave with your vicar, or if you are Revenant, with your seneschal.

We have much work to do, brothers and sisters.

Signed,

Ord-Revenant Abigail Swordshatter,

Church of the Blue North, Northrow
