Your Devoted Servant,

FORYTH TEEL, Scribe of Astinus

*****

My Most Honored Master:

I can only beg the gods of good and neutrality to see

that this missive retraces the path I have recently traveled.

My own survival I take as proof of divine providence - and

should this brief note reach your hands, I shall claim no

less than the benevolent intervention of Gilean himself!

Of course, Your Grace, as always I press forward

without complaint, but - by the GODS, Excellency! - the

summits that have loomed above and below me! The

thundering avalanches spewing their deadly weight across

my path a dozen times a day! And this, along a route

imperiled by monstrous bears - beasts that could tear the

limbs from a man without apparent effort, jaws that could

snap off a head....

Forgive me, Lord. My nerves are not at their best.

Truth to tell, we saw no bears. Still, the knowledge of their

presence, you may be sure, robbed me of even a single

decent hour of sleep.

Now I have reached this cheesemaker's place, and before

me are spread the scrolls of the Khalkist dwarves. As soon

as my hands thaw out enough to unroll the parchment, I

shall continue my perusal. (In the morning, hopefully, the

sun will come out and, by its pale heat, I may manage to

save a few of my fingers.)

In the meantime, I await this humble dairyman, for he

has ventured out into the night. He promises to bring me

something of interest. But until his return, the scrolls

around me shall keep my attention. I turn to them now.
