Letter received by the Harts at the first moot of 1126
To Lady Protector Maru, Ruler of the Harts within the Shrouded Land.
This sharing of information is a joint missive from Cynewulf, Athelstan and Bretwalda. Further, in case you are lacking notable scribes such as the one named Avery, this is presented in your modern scrip and ignoring the true, old letter of this Land.
Firstly, we tell you that the messenger who delivered this paper has been beguiled by words truly spoken. You should instruct your attendees to remove this charming effect and ask the person what occurrences led to this situation. They will relate to you why this has been done.
Secondly, we praise the endeavours of those within the Harts who journeyed into the Mists on the Orchard Isle while at your yearly “Gathering of Nations” Their efforts quelled the encroachment of the Wyrm’s Breath that could have spread uncontrollably until unsurmountable.
Thirdly, we respectfully inform you that we have no ken or perception of the Mists ever having a voice or conscious mind in the annals of our eras. This is new to our minds and we should all consider this an urgent issue before it becomes a vital one to our shared Land.
Fourthly, knowledge of the Mists in the purview of the High Queen, whose awakening is now much delayed. We can only assume that Her stirring Mind is, right now, being kept near torpor by the awakened minds at the Orchard.
In conclusion, we present to you that your praiseworthy mission only quelled the Shroud but has not conclusively dealt with the minds within. It will be a matter of only ONE MONTH from your receipt of this missive until they will expand again. You have this time in which to find and enact a way to put the Mists to sleep for as long as is attainable. To this end, we offer what knowledge we have on this matter and entreat that you shall reciprocate.
Then we may all rejoice in the knowledge that the High Queen will return to all of us.
