Sir Gustav Athebaldt:
Much has transpired since then. Dire warnings of global destruction and chaos are rife throughout the land. A force has been dispatched to deal with Antharas, and evil spirits are wreaking havoc in several parts of the kingdom. Warlords are battling against each other for the privilege of ruling the territories. We haven't much time; we must quickly finish our preparations.

Take this letter to Sir Eric Rodemai in the Town of Aden. He and his family are all my faithful servants. He will tell you what you are to do when you see him.
