The letter reads:
Marshal Middler,
First, I wish to commend your unwavering dedication to your duties in the field of battle.
As you may be aware, the forces of Demeniss have entered our territory under the guise of offering aid. In truth, they sow discord within Hernand, and I have reason to believe their true intent is to bring us under their dominion. For the time being, exercise the utmost caution.
Though the gate remains in a most perilous state, you are to hold your ground to the last. Ensure the safe evacuation of our people and exhaust every means at your disposal to halt the southern advance of the Black Bears. Should the Greymanes join the front lines, you are to lend them your full support without hesitation.
Remember, the safety of our lands rests upon your devotion and your courage. May the blessing of Solumen guard your path.

Charles Celeste

It all began in the ’80s when I was just 7 years old. Starting with basic arcade games, I soon delved into titles like Loom and Monkey Island by Lucasarts. Throughout the years, as I indulged in more and more games, I consistently sought clear guides to swiftly navigate my gameplay. Now, it’s my turn to contribute back to the community.
