Letters home

[Hoovyking]

Dear Henderson and Camille Alankrantz, 

Thank you so much for showing up to my recruitment day, you don't know how much it meant to see the whole family when I was being sworn in. I know I haven't sent a letter in a while, and I'm sorry! The past few months getting acclimated into the Second Dawn haven't left me with much time to pen the whole gang, so I took a day to get this all written up and sent to you. 

How's the farm? My friends Ermir and Elise bought out the place a few blocks down from the brook, so you'll have a new set of neighbors to help when they ask about crop troubles. I'm still stuck in the barracks until I'm officially a Knight, but I'm putting down money for a real house when it's time. Somewhere in the city. 

My friend Rhesus is mentoring me right now, since he entered the knighthood during school. You wouldn't believe how strict I have to act when I'm on duty. But, he's always there to keep me in line. 

I'm still shocked how quickly it all went by. Even with all the people I see on patrols, I still miss a whole lot who went back to Achyon, or somewhere else. 

...but hey! It's too early in my career to worry about things like that. Just know that I'm eating plenty and perfectly healthy. I'm going to take some time off to go home and see everybody. Can't wait to talk then.

Miss you so much,
Teagan Alankrantz

Dear Henderson and Camille Alankrantz,

My promotion to Radiant went without fanfair. There wasn't a ceremony, but I don't want you to make the trip to the city anyway. 
Things are grim. They always are. It seems like every other month, I have to attend the funeral of someone from Starfall. The caskets are almost always closed. 

I'm tired. 

I don't deserve this position. Asher would have done better at kicking the cadets into gear. Orain would have been more punctual and sharper at decisions. Isana-
It'd at least keep me busy trying to keep her in line.

You know where to go if the walls fall. I don't think I'll be joining you. I have a duty to ensure that everyone else is able to make it safety before I even think about my own. 
It's better this way. 

Pray for me,
Radiant Teagan Alankrantz

Noticeboards go up all across Osrona, containing a younger picture of the missing Radiant. A few end up at the home of her elder parents. 

HAVE YOU SEEN THIS WOMAN?

Radiant Teagan Alankrantz, a symbol of hope for Esshar, has gone missing. 
If you have any knowledge of her whereabouts, please send your information to the Stellus as quickly as you can. 
Always remember,

SHE FIGHTS FOR YOUR FREEDOM,
SHE FIGHTS FOR YOUR SAFETY.

Along with these notices does a specially marked letter arrive at the Alankrantz Estate.

Dear Henderson and Camille Alankrantz,

If you've recieved this, I've most likely died or been captured by the enemy.  It is a fate I would have not asked to share with anyone in Osrona, but one that comes for us all. 


My life is one of service. As such, I will dedicate this to you. Inclosed in this letter is enough funds to ensure you live peacefully, along with my younger brothers and sisters. More than enough to make sure they don't have to serve as I did. 


I love you, more than you could understand. Just as I love all who call the Shimmering City home. It will not matter how I died, as long as you understand that I was happy
Content. 

If I am to return, then discard this letter. An unlikely fate, but the prisons of Achyon are not a place where mercy is shown. 

Live long. Live happy. Know that, if I die, I die thinking of you and all others I love. 

Your beloved daughter,
Teagan Alankrantz
