Zarrall mails letters to the various mage guilds and academies around Shadow dale, inquiring as to some references to some of the ancient history of the Dalelands. The letters are addressed: to Head Mage or equivalent. They read as follows:
Dear Sir/Ma'am,
I apologize for not knowing your exact title, but I am writing to you in hopes that you may be able to help me. I have been trying to look into some of the ancient history of the Dalelands and have been trying o track how civilization has changed. In particular I seek the locations of magical occurrences.keeps, tombs, villages, castles, and old trade routes from over the last 7000 years.
I realize that this area of the world has been torn my warfare for much of its history and I feel that, with all the fighting much has been lost. I am ultimately hoping to uncover some of these lost places of civilization, but my resources are limited and I am hoping that you and your colliges would be able to succeed when I have failed.
if it is possible I would love to visit your facilities and do the research myself, but if that is imposable I am willing to pay for copies of information provided including copies of ancient maps, and for time invested.
I thank you for your time. Please send any response to this letter to the Black Hounds Fort.
Respectfully
Zarrall
