*A note written with dark ink on tan parchment is left for Silesia at the Royal Oak. Ardylan instructs the dwarven bouncer to give it to her as soon as she visits the Oak.*
"Silesia,
A member of the Circle informs me that you would like permission from us to cut some trees for use by the Black Hounds. I have been told that you've been instructed on proper tree removal and replanting methods. As long as you adhere to our requests and only take what is needed, there should be no problem.
May we suggest the use of duskwood? It regrows quickly and is sturdy - good for construction. I assume this is for the Black Hounds' fort, which I look forward to seeing when it is completed. If the Hounds have any need for assistance, let me know. I'd be happy to help, as I have training as a carpenter under my belt.
Best of luck to you all,
Ardylan Tyrn'athiem
Steward of the Circle"
*On the back of the parchment is a sketch of the area, with multiple possible areas for the removal of duskwood marked, along with rivers or streams that might aid in transportation.*
