Lost Dispatches of Feraso #50 - Eldserth Greyhawk and the Order of Merit

The Twenty-Second day of DuoDec, in the Year 1027

The Town of Feldkurton, Dominion of Greyhawk, Viscounty of Verbobonc

To His Lordship, Viscount Wilifrick of Verbobonc,

It is day seven of the same blizzard that no doubt affects Verbobonc City. Many townsfolk have sought the safety of the manor and other government buildings, those who remain out in these conditions are no doubt tending to their livestock.  We gave up searching for stranded travelers on day three.

But one day, the sun shall emerge from behind the clouds, the world will thaw, and the snow will melt.  And one day, the backlog of correspondence I've cleared up during this imprisonment will be sent out to the four corners of Ras-Prythax and beyond, so it may come as no surprise that I have include My Lordship with those letters.

I had just received a letter from Alwin Warmark mere days before the blizzard.  He is still the Freigraff of the Totenlinden of Amberstoll, or, in more common terms, a judge or magistrate.  He is, by all accounts, the second most powerful man in Amberstoll, just below Baron Remo himself.  He does not miss the adventuring lifestyle, having retained none of the trophies of that time, and instead relishes the scholarly pursuits of the law.

One I have not heard of in many years is the fiery barbarian woman, Morya Silverbough.  I reckon that she is still terrorizing ne'er do wells somewhere between Nevskia and Wyrmnal

Murag Mountainhammer is still a resident of the Dominion of Greyhawk, and an active member of the Order of Merit.  He has not settled down, although he is currently barricaded in his house in the hills, with enough firewood, ale, and whiskey to last him through the winter, or in his particular case, we may send out a search team to check on him first.

My good friend Andrei Krasimir is still a wizard of some skill and is looking for the classic tower to continue their studies.  I heartily recommend My Lord bestows some tower appropriate to his ability, to maintain his residence full-time in Ras-Prythax.  He is discussing traveling to Hermetus to explore wizardly properties.

And finally, I, Sir Elsderth Greyhawk, despite being trapped in a crowded manor, am in good spirits, largely due to the birth of my second, a daughter named Eleanore.  Both mother and baby are doing well, given the circumstances.
