Message: <blockquote data-quote="Wicht" data-source="post: 384785" data-attributes="member: 221">LettersDaeloo, a doting mother To Alairic, noble priest of the powerful Naemae,Words fail to convey how proud I was to hear of your acceptance as one of the Servants of the Swift Sword.  Having received your letter, I read it to all and sundry, until all were tired of hearing it again, all except for your father of course who is just as proud of your accomplishments as I am.  Your brother Dalair conspiring with your father continues to plan on scraping together enough money to buy your sisters’ freedom but a recent shipwreck has set those plans back.  (You will be glad to hear that Dalair was unhurt, but all was lost when the ship went under the bay.)  Dalair was despondent over it but has since signed on to a new ship, The White Tide, as a mate and claims that he will soon be a wealthy man.  I don’t know how much of that is bluster, but Dalair assured me last night the Captain promises a profitable venture and Dalair hopes to recoup all that he lost in this one voyage.  The ship leaves in the morning for Loona and ports north.  We are lucky parents to have such talented sons.  Your other two brothers of course continue to help your father around the place, and they are both starting to become very competent butlers.  I pray to the Traveler success for his venture.  Unfortunately, Master Deisley has recently become very ill and the mistress is taking it hard.  I am sorry to say, but she has broken up our family, something Master Deisley promised never to do.  But he is scarcely out of his bed anymore.  Your sister, Froidala, broke one of Mistress Deisley’s favorite vases while cleaning and the mistress had her sold.  A Kalamaran merchant bought her and took her away with a host of other girls.  I am fearful of her fate.  Please keep Froidala in you prayers.  I am sure such a thing would not have happened if Master Deisley still had his strength and I am fearful of what might happen if his illness proves to be final and no funds are available to fulfill the goals of your father.  He estimates that for all of us to be freed at once, it will take almost 1000 in gold.  Such a sum seems beyond hope to us presently.   Dalair had saved almost enough to purchase freedom for one of your sisters, but again, alas, that gold is gone.  We shall see though how Dalair’s present journey prospers him.In the meantime, we shall continue as we have always continued.  With any luck, my next letter to you shall be more positive.  </blockquote>
