Note From Celvoway

"Renshala of the Riversong House, Your trade house remains one of Pitax's prides, bringing wealth and traffic to our noble city. While your independence is admirable, the River Kingdoms are no longer a place where free spirits and a fast blade are enough to ensure the safety of so prosperous a family. Twice you have spurned His Highness King Irovetti's offers of protection, and as his agent, I extend that offer once more — with a warning. The hordes of grow increasingly restless, and tales of that monarch's ruthless savagery are confirmed more every day. As his gaze turns south to Pitax, we would do well to stand together. Set aside any quarrels you may have with the king, and accept his guiding hand in these troubled times. Ever the servant of Pitax and its people, Magistrate Walsh Celvoway"
