Message: <blockquote data-quote="Wicht" data-source="post: 410867" data-attributes="member: 221">Letters  LettersZailoo, To Tilliana, Defender of the Swift SwordI am very proud of you and I know your father would be as well.  Before your father left, he entrusted me with this amulet and now, knowing where you are heading, I entrust it to you as well.  It is originally a key, but I have always felt it was something of a good luck charm as well.  Wear it with you and I will feel safer.I never told you a lot about the area in which you were born.  It brought back to many painful memories.  I do not know how much you remember of the area.  It was near a stream among a series of small hills.  There was an old cemetery and nearby a cavern that led to foul underground tunnels.  If you head north from Geanavue you should find it nestled in the foothills.Your father and his companions spent many years clearing the area in those parts of foul monsters and undead horrors.  The cemetery was originally a part of an older, evil temple and it was upon the ruins of that temple that your father had a temple to Naemae built.  He dreamt of establishing a more permanent settlement in what was a lawless area.  So safe did he and his friends make and maintain the area that there were two villages built within a mile of his outpost temple, entirely because of his efforts. My family had moved into the area from Geanavue and you know you still have two aunts and an uncle in or around the city there.  They might be happy to see you if you get the chance to visit.  I met your father soon after and we were married and your brother and you were born.  You know all that already.  What I have not told you, is that part of the reason we left was that without your father to offer protection, the temple he had built was not safe.  Undead soon appeared again in the cemetery and monsters once more came to the cavern east of the temple.  I fled first to the village where my family lived but it was not safe there and the evil grew.  That is why I came here.  My own father died trying to protect us from goblins and the villages were forced to disband and move southward where the Fists of Geanavue could offer more protection.  If you find the temple your father built, chances are it is no longer a holy place.  But seek the crypt that lies below and there you will find a lock.  I will say no more for I know that you will find a bit of a mystery more intriguing.  I will offer many prayers for your safety but you do your part and use your head.</blockquote>
