Thaumaturgist Dessedren - Confidential Correspondence

Postby Obsidian Sea » Mon Sep 19, 2016 11:48 pm

Miss Highblade,

I can scarcely think it so, but are you returned to Impiltur? With my brother's passing, I have attempted to reach further into the study of Divination - a field always more his than mine, yet vital to our research. I heard nothing from you to know of your departure, and was certain that I had been abandoned to my studies! Miss Highblade, I shall not lie in letters, and pretend I did not utter a curse in the same sentence with your very name, but I see hope restored with your returning. Is our arrangement forsaken? Say it is not so, for I am urgent with intelligence of where next to investigate in my pursuits, yet have not the power to strike out in the direction myself.

The privacy to continue my studies within the fortress of Songhall and do so peacefully does, I trust, mean that we have a continued confidentiality. I have written to Vlasta for you: a misguided notion, perhaps, for whosoever should seek to go there surely is lacking for ambition, but what vagaries that Divination revealed to me alluded to your presence there. If it is so, write back to me posthaste, that I might know where we stand. A fellow Cormyrian, I will hold you to your word. Are we allies? I will speak no more of my discoveries until I know.

With expedience,

Thaumaturgist Dessedren

Miss Peveril,

My work is strained by scarcity of material with which to conduct it. The efforts to move a modest letter from Songhall to Sarshel are no easier, and that delays me. What news do you have from your contacts and wok within the city?

I continue to theorise without fact. I regret that, but it is all I can do. Somehow, we must reach the Warwands to acquire the remainder of the information, though I begrudge the scrutiny under which we might fall. I sketch the motif that you stressed the importance of at our first meeting, though not often: I fear it might make me mad. Could it be some symbol of power, or clause for summoning the Daemons?

I run with the theory that one whom I had made a fleeting arrangement with some months back located Inbruxpeca's ally in deed in a mine beyond Pilgrim's Road. Inbruxpeca did not work alone - you have united it with another Daemon through recognising the aforementioned motif, but such a Daemon as that was never going to threaten Songhall. A different Daemon was battled near to the town by another mage, who alleged that it wielded potent magic. We did not make the connection at the time, but now I cannot take my mind away from the prospect of their association.

7th Mirtul's Daemon must be the connection! I continue to work, and pray to Oghma for new progress, but my sources are limited.

I look forward to your reply,

Thaumaturgist Dessedren

The Confrontation of Thaumaturgist Maevon Dessedren.

An unlisted occupant in a vacant building, where it seems he has been storing copied notes from library sources. Gillespie Papyrus Makers confirms the abundance of purchases made by this man, and increasingly frenetic mannerisms on returns to the store. Daemonic influences upon his research are suspected.

Presently being escorted to Sarshel, where he shall be detained in the confidential Warwand residency of the city's Old Quarter until further investigation into his mental autonomy can be affirmed. Meantime, a vigilant approach to the exchange of texts at Songhall shall be taken, and as many sources as we have discovered in the possession of the subject and more deemed relevant beyond that will be confiscated or tracked. Oghma forgive any breach we make, though we act in name of the nation, and The Triad, to ensure corruption cannot spread among the people as in the days past.

Maevon Dessedren exhibited noteworthy skill at magic. Two of our number were necessary to apprehend him, neither leaving the encounter unscathed. No employment of fell magic was detected. In the fray, he alleged in a threat that he was not alone. We have every reason to suspect contact with Daemonic entities, but that cannot be affirmed yet.

Investigation continues upon the morrow.
