A letter from Gabriel ir'Davarask
We were settling down for an evening repast in one of the many tower restaurants in Sharn when a House Orien courier approached our table. He handed a letter to Jhaire, probably because she is dressed in the most expensive clothing. I've copied it out for all to read.
Friends
As your names are known to me, I feel it prudent to offer you mine: Gabriel ir’Davarask.
I doubt whether the name means much to you. In truth, I have conducted my business, by necessity, in the shadows. It is here that a great deal of the rebuilding work of Khorvaire takes place; amongst the foundation stones, so to speak.
In retrieving this message you have taken your first step in aiding the cause that the common man has fought for generations.
I ask you to take another step and complete your journey. Your assistance is greatly required in the hamlet of Bloodfall, in the eastern reaches of Breland. All required documentation has been prepared for your travels – a journey that will take you across the nation by lightning rail to Faith’s Leap, west of Starilaskur, where you will be transferred to House Orien coach, arriving at Bloodfall during the first week of Lharvion.
I trust to your faith in boarding the lightning rail. Although I cannot – for obvious reasons – detail specifics as to the nature of your employment, I can tell you two things. First, your time and efforts will be handsomely rewarded, even should you wish to decline my offer when we meet. Second, and most tantalisingly, I can assure you that revelations will be uncovered by your hands; the truths you uncover will usher in a new age of glories to our troubled nation.
I will remain in Bloodfall, at the Inn of Five Ravens, for two weeks and await your company.
I’m certain the questions you prepare on your travels will find their answers within the Inn of Five Ravens.
I extend my thanks, in appreciation of your time, and my hopes, for us all.
Gabriel ir’Davarask

Well, as you know, Starilaskur is significantly closer to The Mournland than Sharn is and my ruined country is where I want to get to. It seems that we have an opportunity to earn a few Crowns in the process of helping someone.
