The enclosed letter:
To the living, presumably of Stannisberg,
I bid you greetings. I beg of you to hear me out and disregard the nature of the source.
There have been incursions into the underground. I hope that this missive reaches those who have so done.
From time to time, patrols find and slay those of the hungry dead that have made their way to the forest. I have no objection to this, as they exceed my reach.
That said, for the sake of Stannisberg, I beseech you to refrain from destroying my lieutenants. Each of those that is lost in turn causes a larger number of the lesser to escape my grasp.
– Dormund Thayne
Formerly of Stannisberg
