Letter's to Rashemen - Svetlana Fearlian

[flipside43]

Dear Momma,

Am saddened this day. *tears drop litter the page* One who was thought as friend turn out be nothing but snake who lie in grass. Had trust new friend and betray. *many scribbles continue with no legible writing* Remember what was taught when young, snake no bite with no head. Am thankful to Bhalla for blessings and will continue to slave in fields and give thanks. War come to this strange country momma. Am concerned for crops and for people, not have enough to eat but am distracted by foolishness. Keep pray for your Svety. Will slave hard in fields.

Love always in Bhalla,
Svety

Dear Momma,

Has been some time since have written, many apologies. Times are very busy here. Am glad to hear harvest has gone well, will drink firewine and eat sjorl cheese in celebration! *tears start to stain the page*.

Momma have been learning much under guidance of Silver Rose. Sir Seth in particular teach great lesson of rage and importance of using mind to overcome. True strength depends on person of course but rage does not always equal strength but weakness. Am no barbarian roaming open land of Rashemen. He teach must use mind to overcome problems using compassion and patience. Such is teachings of Bhalla but never before have lessons spoken so truely and come now have ended division within me. Believe in matters such as rage which are result of culture, that is barbarian tribes and not part of faith of Bhalla. Now inner divide finally end and am at peace.

Have spent much time on road Momma. Help as many as can. Spend much time in fields helping farmers, adventurers, travellers, merchants. As help them down their path also try to learn of own mortality from each. *tears start to litter the page again*.

Miss you greatly Momma, is strange country but would like here, have made many good friends.
Your dearest Svety

Dear Momma,

Does bring saddness remembering final days. Spent many days in Rashemen spreading ashes over grain fields. Those that remain say was very brave in raid, stood against slavers, am very proud. Have shed many tears and wrapped self lovingly around you in the rays of the new day. May the Mother of the Harvest smile upon you.

In Bhalla's will,
Svety

Dearest bond-sister,

Has been vary hard since Mother went to Bhallas side. Many strange dangers are rearing an ugly head here in this strange land. War has come to this land, have spent much time aiding people of this land. Have spent some time at the triage set up by Silver Rose healing and comforting others with Bhalla's love. Have heard from dear friend Cela of drow on surface in lions way, is just terrible timing. Also hear whispers of Zhentarim opening in region. Please pray for your sister,

In Bhalla's grace,
Svety

Dear sister,

Am writing from road, caught caravan heading north towards Waterdeep. Have left the Order and am heading to Goldenfields to be of better service to the Goddess. Am sad to leave friends behind but feel is time to turn over new leaf. Am thankful for all the Rose has done for this one. Had left Rashemen to find brother but found so much more.

In the love of Chauntea,
Svety

*Elvina writes in reply*

Dearest Sister,
I'm sad to hear you go, we will all miss you greatly. You have been an inspiration to so many, in how you've grown in patience and understanding and the way of the Silver Rose. And for me personally, I was glad to finally have a sister... *a tear comes to her eye* I hope you find what you are looking for with the help of the Mother of the Harvest and return to us soon. May your spirits guide you on your path and know you always have a place with us, your brothers and sisters in arms.

Love,
Elvina
