The Letter to an Elder
04-28-2020, 06:41 PM
During the afternoon of the following day that Tee received the letter, Raiyoku can see a yellowed parchment sitting on his desk, with three small blue wisps of flame dancing around it. It appears that coffee spots seem to stain one corner of the paper.
While I, Tee Alduin, am impressed with your findings with the arcane fabric that now dances around Atlas, I also bear warning for what your findings might yield.
Raiyoku, you would be correct in my own personal fight against the Rift that plagues the old ruins of Devshire; as the attendees of the Yukrovian Summit could attest to, I announced that I would personally find a way to close the Rift. In the many years since, I have tried, to little avail. Unfortunately, the methods to do so are still beyond my understanding, though the magic, or lack thereof, that emanates from the Rift has been seen on this world once before. From my research into the depths of the Qi'Shen archives, it appears that the Tas'akram that corrupted what you now know as the Grey Isles has similar properties to the Rift that transformed the Galewind Forest into the Wraithwood. Know that the chaos of unbridled arcane energy caused by both did not come without the consequences.
And this is why I feel I should warn you, Raiyoku. Again, I must admit that I am impressed with your newfound ability to harness these small rifts, and bring forth wraiths that might fight by your side; however, I am certain that the Devshirite researchers had some of the same inclinations when they first discovered the Rift: they wanted to harness the chaos, and it only led to their inevitable demise. Be careful of the power you now have, Raiyoku, lest the Wardens meet the same fate...
Ever your faithful Mentor,
Tee Alduin
Dear Raiyoku Malkjord, and to the Wardens of the Wraithwood at Large,
While I, Tee Alduin, am impressed with your findings with the arcane fabric that now dances around Atlas, I also bear warning for what your findings might yield.
