The Duchal Representative and a Captain of the Flaming Fist are seen speaking with a Gold Elf, dressed in fine clothes and with a jeweled scabbard upon his hip. Some whom overheard the conversation, began talk of Drow within northern towns. The Gold Elf agreed, at the captain's request, to offer a letter to the Dukes. In the letter, the Gold Elf left the whereabouts of the Inn and Room he is staying locally within Baldur's Gate.

*A missive is delivered by hand to the Office of the Grand Narhelm by hand by a knight in red and silver, whom some in the courts may recognize as Aaron Lyonaler. The young knight does not linger long, and spends little more time then to pay his respects and offer over the letter*

[parchment]Your Graces,

I come back from Dragonspear castle, along the Trade way to the noeth, and I baerly made it out alive. The place is infested by countless devils. I do not know if they will remain but I urge you to consider this information with the utmost seriousness.

Sincerely,

A sharply dressed girl arrives at the court. She has 2 large men escorting her between them a large intricately carved chest. The girl gives a flourishing bow and introduces herself. Well met m'lords names Emily Carter lads and this here is Stix! She points to the monkey on her shoulder who seemingly understands the introduction and makes a quick screech of greeting right before a candied nut is tossed into its hand of which it munches away on greedily. Emily snaps her fingers and the two men step forward. With a flick of the wrist a key is produced and the chest is opened. Bursting forth from it is gold and jewels aplenty. A kings ransom worth. A grin crosses the features of the young girl as coins fall to the ground in the twinkling of metal on stone. My benefactor wishes to send his greetings lords! He also sent a letter for the Dukes to set up a meeting and to pass along some information as it were! When they wish to speak to him you can send an emissary to the Helm and Cloak lads. Tell em' you want to see Lady Carter and Stix! She gives a wink handing the letter to the guards and then gives another flourishing bow before she snaps and the men bow slightly and turn to leave with her. Closer inspection of the letter reveals a golden wax seal upon which the crest of a coin and arrow are emblazoned.

A bullish Thayan male accompanied by a dainty elf maiden, each in their finery, entered the Duchal Palace reception lounge on the 13th eve of Uktar. The swordsman delivered a closed scroll-tube to the receptionist without any diplomatic foreplay.

Two well dressed men show up and deliver a letter. The envelope is quite intricately made with flowing golden letters and gold wax seal to match. Two cross arrows adorn the seal. The letter is addressed to the Grand Dukes.

A letter was delivered in person to the Grand Narhelm in the Palace by a pryat of Helm's church, to be delivered to the Four. She tarried for a time before departing back to the nearby Watchful Shield temple.

Today a letter is hand delivered to the Flaming Fist headquarters, intended for Duke Eltan. Anyone nosy and insistent enough might learn it was a redheaded tiefling associated with Bladestone Foundation who did the delivery. The scroll lies in an oak tube sealed with arcane mark.

A letter arrives at the Ducal Palace. It is hand-delivered by one Lafali'Atria-Hoihe Dacino, introducing herself as thus and as the First Officer of the Whistling Wanderess. The letter is encased in a scroll tube, and is sealed in wax with the markings of the First Officer of the Whistling Wanderess. The elven sailor would stress that this letter is for Duchess Jannath.

On the morning of the 9th of Tarsakh the Thayan warrior Bueroza rode his black Tyranturan bred warhorse Xenubat into the city-state. He came dressed in riding boots, wearing aristocratic finery overlay by a tailored baby seal-fur coat and his black hair groomed. As always, the death knight Witherer's relic longsword Lifebane was fast on his hip. Reaching the Palace District he dismounted and entrusted his horse to a stable-hand before entering the Duchal Palace itself with an envelope in his extravagantly gloved hand. He emerged a short time later, returned to his horse and departed for the lodgings of the Helm & Cloak Inn.

The Tactician of the Red Knight, Aaron Lyonaler, still in his field armor, entered the High Hall. Greeting the nobility and couriers he passed on his way to the Reception Desk. Once in front of the Receptionist he would offer over a missive, requesting it be delivered to the Grand Narlhelm, intended for Duke Eltan. Once completed he would make his exit of the Palace.
