I feel I should apologize in advance - I've never actually written a letter before, and I'm not sure what the custom is in the Drabwurld for the proper addressing in formal writing, but I hope this finds you well.
I run letters and information for locals around Dorchadas and have heard rumour that you're teaching a very specific skill set to those that can educate you in a trade in return. If this is true, I have a specific type of magic that was taught to me by a shardbearer at the Sixth Spire that I'd be willing to teach you in exchange; they are high-level healing spells not known by many in this world.
The same bird that I've sent you will return to me if you're interested. Alternatively, leave a letter near any tree or sign marked with ₪ and I'll receive it.
What you have heard is correct. I will educate, train and teach any and all forms of blood magic in return for whatever gifts you might be blessed with or learn yourself. If I judge what you offer to be of worth then the gift if yours to learn.
Simply tell me when you wish to meet to discuss matters and I shall tell you when I am in a place that may be serviceable. You may reach my through bird once more or through the Shardholder, Iorveth.
I take up residence near the Third Spire, and have a formal office at the Sixth Spire. I possess an item that allows me to travel instantly, so I'm able to be in the village any any time, though I have previous engagements for all of August. If there's another location more convenient to you, it's likely I'll be able to reach it, especially if there was once an operational fairy ring nearby.
I will be returning to the North at the beginning of Autumn. Once we have crossed the border into lands ruled by the Riddles in the Dark then, perhaps, I shall send a message to you. I am uncertain if my companion will be inclined to travel to a Spire, but I am certain I might take measures to convince him.
[The letter is delivered via an extraordinarily bad-tempered seagull, absurdly far from its native coast.]
Madam,
I would parlay with you in the interests of peace between our people and exchange of information. A shardbearing vampir, I know very little of elves.
Not an unpaid opportunity. Should you wish to take it, I will defer to you in matters of meeting place and time. The bird knows it way.
Yours, The Brucolac.
[Immediately after she's read it, the seagull launches itself forwards with a mighty squawk and rends the paper with beak and claws until it's a mere pile of scraps.]
[ She glares at the bird, even as she reaches to her pockets and pouches, drawing out her own quill and paper. ]
Vampir.
As long as you do not attack me, do not claim to want to do anything to harm me, I shall speak with you. I know little of shardbearers, least of all vampir with a shard in their chest, and there may well be merit in our discussion.
You offer me a gift. I shall offer you my words. I will come North in some months as I remain in Redgate today - I can greet you then, if you desire.
Know that I am armed, should I require it. I will not hesitate.
