Alynora Tremere

I am Vierna Hun’ett, 2nd daughter of House Hun’ett, 3rd House Menzoberranzan.

I would like that we should meet sometime to discuss matters of the past. In my time on this surface I have learned much, but there are still gaps which need filled. Since I am told you have survived in this place for a very long time, perhaps you can help me fill in these gaps. I know of several in your House, Jade in particular I have known for a while. Speak to her and you will learn I am no threat to yourself or your House. All I want is to talk and learn.

I await your reply.

Vierna Hun’ett

*a small hassled land tired looking pixie comes delivering a sealed letter addressed to Vierna, the letter is written in an odd finely written but archaeic form of writing, also with two pages, one in ilythiiri, the other in the common language*

Vierna Hun’ett,

I have heard long of your comings and goings these past years. Jade has kept me well informed as have others. I have indeed heard tales of your search for those of ilythiri origin.

Perhaps I have the information you seek. Perhaps not. Only time will tell.

And sometimes, the information may not be what you expect or like to hear. If you can accept this, then you may meet me on what is known to commoners as the Marble Island. You may bring one other with you.

As to you being harmless? Or of us being harmless?
I remind you of one of your own proverbs:
The Foolish And Unwary Find Surprises And Among Them, Waiting Death


~Lady Alynora Tremere~

*both pages are sealed and stamped with dark red wax*

*Vierna opens the letter and smiles inwardly and thinks "Ah maybe the gaps can be filled yet". She reads the proverb once more and grins widely and says to herself "I like your style Lady, khaless nau uss mzild taga dosstan (trust no one more than yourself). I think we can do business"*
