Sir Alanna of Pirate's Swoop and Olau:

This missive is to confirm our conversation upon Saturday last. Please bear it, complete with signature and spells, to your new assignment, as a certificate of your identity.

Your new orders are thus:

You will report to Fort Mastiff and relieve Lord Wyldon of Cavall of his command while he escorts his squire south to his Ordeal. You will serve as district commander, with all accompanying rights, privileges, and responsibilities, until your duty requires you be elsewhere. During this time you will continue to hold the border against the enemy and may to this end enact measures as you see fit.

As always, you may address any questions to me.

Signed:
General Vanget haMinch upon this day 18 October of 462 H.E.
Northwatch Fortress
