Atesh-Gah

To Imphada Maharani Thalia Tritonidis Khalida,

Namaste. I pray to the Amir-al and His Holy Mother that you have journeyed safely.

As you have bidden I write this letter, to say what happens to me while you are gone from Haven. The Khansama of the Clan has commanded me to get new clothing to wear in Atesh-Gah because it is not fitting for a shudra of the Maharani to wear clothing that is greatly used and mended. My clothing serves me when I heal the Mongrels in Bordertown but I obey the Khansama so that I do not shame you in the eyes of the People.

The Imphadi Warlord of Clan Messala commanded me to come to him and see if he had been harmed by another healer. He was well and strong and did not get angry when I tried to help the old hurt in his shoulder where I think that he must have been hurt a long time ago.

I healed a Sylvan in the Rialto and he seemed kind and friendly.

I go to Bordertown each day but I tell the Khansama when I go so that if the Clan requires me I may return to serve. And that the shudra and naraki can find me. The Atarf The Holy Priests of the Most High do not need me though and the People prosper and are strong. Lyre has gone away but there is much need in Bordertown and so I do not have to feel al be by myself much.

I will write again as you have commanded when I can have more paper.

Faanshi
