Dread Black Fang,
I write this letter in hopes of giving warning to my current nature and plans involving Shadowdale. I have spent the past years of my life in study with the Clergy of Bane in both Mulmaster, and just recently in Zhentil Keep. Though my path along the road to join the Clergy of Bane has just begone and in still in the first steps of a long, hard journey, I am sure, I have received word that the Church in the Dales is moving forward to completion and there is high hopes that it will be a bastion of strength for the Dread Lord. But, back to my point. I have requested to be transferred to your branch of the Clergy to further my own teachings, and to assist in what ever way I can to extended the Black Hand's shadow.
I send this letter ahead of me with a messenger with the orders to carry it as swiftly as possible. The distance isn't great but I write this with some urgency and great hope that I can arrive there soon.
With great regard,
Erich Olson
