LETTER THIRTEEN

My Beloved Ethany,

I awoke this morning to shouts echoing through the halls of Holääfeldi. Dwarven criers bellowing “High King Gaston is dead and Mahan is captured.”

Upon further investigation, I am told that the Omethiä, the Head Speaker of the Evolu, and Lord Soturi of the Nocturi, have also fallen.

King Kimmeldell the Bold, even now, clings to life, having received great wounds in the Battle of Northridge against the Vallen hordes. They dispatched the finest healers in Holääfeldi in haste, but there was little hope of arriving in time.

Had the dwarves not dismantled their own Prime Gate during the war, this would not have been a concern.
