(Not Jackdaw)
To the heroes and warriors of Travance,
My name is Amelia Righetti, Captain of the Silver Princess, serving in the 3rd Fleet out of Septufas. I write to you regarding the attack by Lorenzo Alverez on your town these five months past.
I hope you will forgive my bluntness in saying that for years Lorenzo Alverez has been a stain on the honor of Coast Haven. That man is a vile creature, and there are no words to account for the insult his actions have laid upon both of our nations. Lorenzo Alverez deserves far worse than imprisonment, let alone the accommodations he currently endures on the grounds of his Lord. There are many here in Coast Haven who regard the matter closed. They would rather put it behind them and act as though this unsightly incident never happened. I, on the other hand, fear that even now those loyal to Alverez are working to his benefit. I believe Alverez must be dealt with in a more permanent manner, lest he be allowed to continue on and bring shame to us yet again.
I have implored Her Majesty to order his execution, but thus far I am one voice against many. To combat this I seek to add your voices to my own. To that end I, along with my aid, will be in your town on the Sunday your upcoming gathering at the eleventh hour of the morning to hear your stories and see if there is a way that together we may secure an end to this menace.

Hello Travance …..and I suppose Captain,
I see that warmer winds and rainy weather have come to Travance under the light of Eldryis; a sign of perseverance and unwillingness to be deterred from your goals. I spoke to someone recently about the satisfaction about finally meeting their goals, despite their struggles. They were kind enough to provide this month’s offering; the shoes from their very first performance at a popular theatre in Tai Fang.
Regarding this Captain, I wish them the best of luck. May Eldryis guide you. People have tried to kill or punish that hunter before, I’ve tried before; nothing has succeeded thus far. He always weasels his way out. After what he did to me, they just told him not to bring home other monsters anymore; do you honestly believe Coasthaven will change? You’ve gotta appreciate the hope and idealism though; it's always the saddest moment when that breaks. But even now, his followers work to free him, to help him regain power so he can continue his work. You were at my storehouse, you saw them. Greymantle, Ironkettle, they’re all moving now towards this goal. I’ve seen it with my own eyes; I’ve dug through their warehouses to find their work. They need to be stopped, he needs to be stopped; at all costs.
Toodaloo Travance,
The Employer

Captain Righetti,
Having just returned from your lands, I look forward to speaking with you.

To my aquatic songstress friend,
Eldryis. The sign of perseverance and dang pain-in-the-ass stubbornness. I think you should have offered yourself for this ritual instead of Triton. From one stubborn pain in the ass to another.
Last feast, we found some interesting relics in your storehouse...like a piece of scrap wood with "I am not a monster" carved in it, over and over again. What happened to that siren of five years ago, so determined not to give in? I think she's still there, whether you like it or not. If you listened to him tell you you're a monster, why not listen to me when I tell you you're not? And that broken things still deserve love.
As for stopping his minions? We can stop them. You don't have to do it alone.
We can stop them without creating more hurt, wounded souls. Let us break the cycle of monsters. Together.
Please.
To the Employer,
I have read what you have written down, and I take it you will still try to do what you intend to do. Given your experience with the matters at hand, I get it. So I will not bother you with details on that matter. And, given that you have been able to slide your way though most, if not all of Travance, I won't deny that you will try and proceed accordingly away from our watchful eyes, which is fine. There are some that are good like that.
However, it appears that from what I am reading, despite your determination to see your plan through to the end, you are aware of what Travance is doing as a whole. I can tell you want us to do what is necessary. And I feel that, at the very least, it is a start to understanding where we stand in terms of objectives.
With that being said, while I know you have made your decision long ago, should you still seek someone to chat, if only to let go of personal qualms or to clear your head, I am open to discuss matters privately in the location of your choosing. I will not cast judgement should you decide to seek me out. That is all.
