Loredas, the 1st of Last Seed, Year 202 of the Fourth Era
Dear Segen,
This place is called Solitude. It's where your father was born, to a soldier - a great captain of men- and a tavern girl. The woman was called Ileana, and the soldier became an old High King, Torygg. It is for this reason that I mean to call you Azrael. In my language, it means "Stray Prince". Just like your father's surname. What can I tell you about this world and him? He has sacrificed much and more to save it. I hear tell that he is in Riften, with the Blades. I can't help but wonder if he thinks of me. Does that make your mother silly? Probably. Solitude is beautiful, yes, but beauty isn't everything. Trust me, I know. As much as he hates this place, I can feel him everywhere. Your father had the sea in his blood, and the ocean air is making me lonely. I always did hate the sea. In any case, the eleventh of this month is Koomu Alezer'i, which means "We Acknowledge". On this day, Redguards give praise to the gods for our bounty and our fortune. I intend to thank them for you. Thirty-two weeks. We won't be long now, Segen.
All my love,
Mana
