To my allies against the Sharan threat,

Your charms have proven effective against the vargouilles. It's too bad we had to find them on your patrols. They would have made nice gifts. But on to more serious matters.

For some reason the skull watchers have been ignoring our patrols for some weeks now. We have also detected some scrying in our midst. Our divinations have shown it is not your forces nor those of Shar. If you have any luck finding where they Sharans are based our forces will be happy to lead a strike or follow as best you see fit.

And lastly, just to let you know that our forces grow ever stronger while others wane, we have been quite successful with Tarminnamprez. In fact, we have someone arriving any day now, someone who truly understands the words of Sammaster, to complete the ceremony. You really should consider this invitation, your only invitation. For when Tarminnamprez has ascended he will erase all doubts and doubters starting with the Gap of Skulls.

Consider well Derahtu, I refuse to let this go on much longer till it descends to the point where it is just you and I with our hordes of unliving servants to squabble with. My own ascension has given me a faith that burns brighter than your petty malice. My ambitions run both deeper and higher. So wallow if you want, or join up with a cause that is bigger and bolder than anything you can imagine. I could use your strength and leadership abilities to lead my future armies. But I expect you'll just rip the throat out of your servant who brought you this letter.

Vinnamar
PS The bag is a gift, and you will receive more such gifts if your patrols ever attack ours again.
