They have forgotten me.
I have not forgotten them.

I have made them suffer and this will only continue on.
For some, the conclusion comes soon.

Mighty & Esteemed Speaker Red Lips,

My strategy seems to be working. Thus, I would notify there's room to double our efforts.
Assuming our desired results would be bolstered by it.

If yes, let me know and I shall come to collect another.
If no, feel free to ignore this letter in it's totality.

Rajo,

You might have a difficult time believing that I would without trouble play host to weary guests.

Even if only in business, I am certain many guests shall grace this humble abode.

I have no trouble paying you coin, but since you refuse it, next time in the Windblown Camp, I shall pay sizeable tithe.

Let us meet whenever you are able and complete the transaction.


You have my earnest gratitude. I owe you a favor.

NATHANIEL BLACKVALE

Zaheera,

your original quotation of legislation and legal nonsense was very boring.

However, these cards? Brilliant. Had a fantastic laugh.

You wouldn't trust my words- but I have always hated Arjuna.
These cards will be kept in a place of honor in my Real Ephia's Well.

Thanks.

Nathaniel Blackvale

Rajo, good friend,

this is a pressing matter for me.

Please consider the many friends I have in the Creep who wish nothing more than my prosperity.

My offer to you is a fair one.
I don't intent to live in your home, I need the space for storage for my most enterprising and successful stall that will undoubtly have it's coin flow to you, and others of the Creep.

Dragon,

hello Prince-Killer. Join the ranks of the murderers of murderers.
Me, guilty to attempt to subdue Recluta Skatterhawk as she is actively murdering.

You... You will be guilty of killing the Prince.

What will you do about it? Call upon useless allies, sworn to oaths? Boffin?

Pay. Me.

I can clean everything you want.

Dear Zaheera,

Now that more pressing business has passed for me, I had time to rethink what's happened.

Suddenly remembered handing you a 1,000 for drawing a herocard of Arjuna Namahedu based on a sketch I'd never provided.

Either finish it, draw that murderer, or perhaps a lot more sensible, refund me.

You can send whoever to my stall in the real Ephia's Well. A lot of people come below!

Best regards,

Nathaniel Blackvale

[The Winning election strategy.]

The Real Souk of Salt & Spice now announces a temporary, seasonable product:

The Winning election strategy.

For 10,000 per consult at minimum.

Dearest Ashley,

have you ever caught yourself having dark desires?

You've yourself a spider down below.

Dearest Ashley,

bring me power, bring me a new arm, bring me buckets of coin.

Dark desires become reality.

Nathaniel Blackvale

These latest new allies have given me powerful tools to achieve my ends. In return, I am eager and willing to aid them in their dark designs. There's just one thing that irks me.

He treats me the same way Arjuna Namahedu treated me.

And Arjuna Namahedu is now dead.

Once you have given me what I want, I will orchestrate your death and you can join Arjuna in the Hells.

Malik,

I hear of your struggles... It's messy. Need anything cleaned, come find me.

Alternatively, I have a certain device to make one suffer damage to the soul, should you wish especially cruel revenge upon your foes. In which case, drag them to me!

With friendly intent,

Nathaniel Blackvale

D.A.

Got a tip I want you to pursue.

The Tower has some stains they wish cleaned.

We can clean.

Let them know somehow. Via-via, perhaps, to distance yourself.

You know who

Dear Ashley,

It's been a week or so since the bogus trial against me.
You defended me with honour, smarts and competence.

It's not your fault my arm's chopped off by a fat tick wielding a crimson djinn sword.

Alas, unlike what the Shadowhearts of the Above-Well think, I am currently thriving.

Life in the Creep, I call it the Real Ephia's Well, is a vast improvement.
There's a great lack of nepotism below. You are who you are. Your worth is determined by your abilities.

I'd like to invite you to come visit me and my stall of the Real Souk of Salt & Spice sometime, dear Ashley, I know you to be a competent alchemist. So if there's ever anything you'd want to make coin on, that you couldn't sell anywhere else, know that I am your loyal friend. Elsewise, simply check my stall, I have interesting pieces.

Best regards,

Nathaniel Blackvale

Dear Rajo, Wandering Blade,

It is Nathaniel Blackvale, the proprietor of the Real Souk of Salt & Spice located in the Real Ephia's Well (aka the Creep) writing you.

You are in rare possession of a spacious room in this domain and I desire it, because I have a bunch of Goods-filled crates I need to setup somewhere, and where else safer than what you presently occupy?

Of course I understand you'd not do so for free or out of the kindness of your heart.

So name your price, be it weekly, a percentage of my stall, a one-time fee.

By the way do you often frequent the Creep? How many of it's interesting denizens would you say are your friends? Just curious since I haven't seen you, I've got a couple spies, couple bruisers (including the feared killer of Alejandro, the Osric Locke) and couple more friends.

They'd all be happy if I can stash wares! Since the more I earn, the better I can pay their wage! Makes them *even* more loyal.

Looking forward to your offer. Have a fantastic day.

Nathaniel Blackvale
