Carefully Preserved Letter

<i>This letter was written in slightly rounded Lembur runes and has been kept clean and protected.</> Dearest Petru, I hope you are well. I wish I could see you, but we both know that cannot happen. Tradition cuts both ways, even when you're famously willing to break the rules. I hope you understand why I did what I did. Perhaps you will, in time. This is a lot to ask of a child your age, I know. I hope you know that I truly believe I had your best possible future in mind, as difficult as that may be for you to understand. Your father and I have plans to seek Paradis, and maybe go beyond, but we cannot fool ourselves. Even reaching the edge of Galawain's Tusks may be beyond our means without warden escort. We simply could not commit you to such a deadly journey, and the council made it clear that I am to be forever exiled for falling in love with a good man from the outside. You may hate me for this, but know that I will always love you, and I truly believe you will have a better life in Solace than you would with us in exile. I hope we can meet again someday, and that you will understand and forgive what I've done. Love and hope forever, - Mother
