A message carried by courier from the northeast of Wayston all the way south to the balmier climes of Firen, in such haste that numerous horses are left half-dead in its wake.
Your Grace,
The hostages lately held at Castle Rogers are unharmed and safe in Murias.
Their release having been secured I led your army several hours past against the d'Armaz forces in Buckvale and our victory was decisive.
Our enemies were unprepared to face us, broke quickly, and fled to the border: those who remained were slaughtered almost to a man. We hold the castle, we hold Buckvale, we hold also the son and heir of Lord d'Cremani as an additional pawn for your use in the present negotiations.
I write in haste for I ride to Murias myself, to escort your hostage to the security of Bellmoore's walls and to confer with your father.
The hopes and the trust of all your people rest with you. Be assured you will return to your lands to find them free of the northern taint, and to enjoy a welcome such as your courage and steadfastness through the present crisis deserves. I remain,
Yours faithfully,
Gisela Quinn
