A message from Jack Uvaltrades

My Lord, Duke,

I am honored to be considered for the Noble Title of Marques. I will make accommodation for you to travel to Blackstone, first class of course. I have seen to it that you will have private quarters in our most prestigious Inn, The Den. I have also seen to it that you will have guards here unless you wish to bring your own My Lord.

My affairs are in order and ready for your arrival.

Respectfully,

Earl Jack Uvaltrades

A message from William H. Trueheart

Earl, Uvaltrades,

Your accommodations for my arrival seem satisfactory. Many rumors have crossed this way of Blackstone, and I shall be curious to see if it is anything like they say it is. Furthermore, I expect your man servant to be up to par, I do not travel lightly. I shall arrive within half a fortnight and will need some able bodied guards that are local to Blackstone as well as familiar with the scenery. Also, your request upon the Council concerning your ascending to the stature of Marques has been confirmed and I will be personally in charge of the inspection.

Yours truly

Duke William H. Trueheart

A letter to Earl Uvaltrades

I understand I’m being reassigned to guard duty of an arrival in short time. Though it displeases me to leave my current post, I shall do as you command and take great lengths to ensure the safety of our guest. I await your orders and the arrival of our guest.

Sincerely,

Giles
