Excerpt from a letter from Chayi:
With the Withering Season upon us, the laborers in the villages have left their fallow field and have taken up their other pursuits. Many seem to have occupied themselves with exploring the ruined tower and the surrounding environment. Not all of them: today I saw a blind girl, a daughter of one of the local clans, apparently. They seem to keep her sheltered in the village.
I have heard rumors that someone has found a dagger with a black opal in the hilt that sounds very similar to one that the heretic Adjudicators used during the time of Devastations. But many strange things are being found nowadays: there are many ingots recovered from the ruins, of some unknown metal that seems to react strangely to lodestones. Perhaps I will be able to tell you more of this when I see you next.
Faithful to the Adjudicators,
Aspandhat
