To whom it may concern,

Umbra Harbor is under siege. Something is tormenting its citizens in the dead of night, and we are helpless to stop it. I humbly request that the Crown send aid to help rid us of this Darkness.

The people of Umbra Harbor have begun coming to me with complaints of strange injuries, odd ailments, and disturbing visions in the night. At first, I thought perhaps it was some kind of illness due to bad meat or consuming rotten vegetables, or perhaps even the spread of Consumption throughout the harbor. However, I’ve found nothing wrong with the food and the symptoms don’t match.

The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

There has been an increase in cases of Chlorosis. This is usually not strange, as Umbra Harbor is lacking in sunlight during this time of year, and most counties in the area are deficient of proper nutrients. However, despite being on the shore, and despite the unfavorable weather, the livestock and vegetation are rich, and the citizens have always been quite healthy.

I cannot say for certain what is causing these problems, but I am certain that it is something otherworldly and cannot be fixed through regular medical care or sheer will. I ask that the Crown aid us. I have also sent word to the Count, and await a response as to what we can do to protect Umbra Harbor from this looming Darkness.

If the Devil has come to the harbor, may God help us all.
