Hey Everyone!
Apologies for the delay in updating and thanks for reading so far. Hope you're enjoying it. Sooooo here is the next chapter...
To fellow Istari Erulisse,
I am eager to hear of your impending success. Are you any closer to the artefact? Has it yet betrayed its secrets to you? The news I have for you makes the claiming of this item more significant than ever…
Several moons and suns have passed since I last committed quill to parchment, and in those hours I have been informed of grave doings. It would seem that the Nazgul presence has intensified in the heart of Harad, and now it is clear why. Certain locals sympathetic to our cause are hiding in plain sight, passing me underground information. The Wraiths are travelling far south on horseback and rallying warlords the length and breadth of the land for military purposes. Sauron is rebuilding. They say the gates of Barad Dur are once again ajar and smoke rises from the Mountain of Doom. There is little time to spare, the Necromancer is recruiting, and these Southerners are ideal troops for this great swelling.
Therefore I have set myself up for a time a few miles outside of the City of the Corsairs. I intend to expand our order here and undermine these recruitment programs. Several ex-chieftains and citizens have persuaded themselves to help us. If one thing will help my mission in these lands, it is their ease of being impressed by the ways of magic. My water bending and earth rendering must be a pleasant surprise to those who are used only to the twisted, black speech and shimmering swords of the Dark Lord. With time and effort, I believe these small bands of independents can infiltrate the City itself.
Let me know of your mission post haste -
Yours in Counsel,
Eruaphadion
So thanks for reading - please leave a review. We both really appreciate it when people let us know what they think - both good and bad.
