Message: <blockquote data-quote="drothgery" data-source="post: 3173635" data-attributes="member: 360">Deciding to put off copying for a bit longer, Khalia drew out three sheets of parchment. On the first, she wrote a letter to her father in the common language of the Five Nations, telling him of the progress of her research and thanking him for the devices that he had sent. There wasn't anything unusual about the letter, except for a small mark by the date that most would have taken for a slip of the pen.The second, she quickly scribed out what she really wanted her father to know, about the cultists, and her conclusions, and did so in Draconic.And the third took her far longer to write. It was written in the Draconic alphabet, but the characters had little meaning in themselves. She opened a copy of ir'Maneli's Letters of the Keepers to the page that today's date would indicate in a formula her father and she had worked out long ago, and began the slow process of ciphering her letter. When she finished that, she burned the second -- the unciphered version of the third.The two remaining letters would be sent by House Sivis tomorrow. The clear missive, addressed to her father at his manor in the north of Thrane. The ciphered, to a box in Flamekeep, which would eventually end in Lord Alistair's hands as well, though it would pass through another pair of hands along the way. She -- and her father -- knew the gnomes' reputation for confidentiality was excellent, but there was no point in taking chances, and they had known well before she left on this expedition that they might wish to communicate with some degree of secrecy.</blockquote>
