Professor, my heart soars at word of your return. I was worried that you may have been among the losses, as I understand there are a staggering amount. My sincerest apologies that I have not been able to fetch you your morning coffee, but I will return to Ephia's Well in a day or two's time. The battlefield was unreachable for me and my toiling elsewhere has been particularly exhausting.

Once I return there will be only the freshest, richest, h̶o̶t̶t̶e̶s̶t̶  most flavorable coffee you shall have!

Sincerely, with relief,

Your Executive Assistant,

Dia Arcmantle

LETTER OF INTENT

To the esteemed master Cogsworth Clockhand,

Let it be known that by this parchment that I submit myself humbly for the position as your pupil and colleague. It is in this that I hope to take full advantage of your brilliance in the establishment of a shoppe, the creation of a machine to support it, to labor at your side in the study of arcana and the pursuits of mechanomagical artifice.

My foundations lie primarily as a practiced fencer supported by my skills as a dancer. What started as an expression of artistry now aids me in battle. Rhythmic motions and redirection.

As I had previously expressed to you before, I am a shame to my family name. Though I am the eldest daughter, heiress to a once prestigious line of those masterful at spellcraft so much as to secure a position within a magocratic oligarchy; However, I wield no magic. Disavowed as I am, they thought it appropriate to cut me from any and all inheritance to their name and privilege until I could "discover" the potential in my blood. I hope to do accomplish this through you, though the why has changed substantially.

I am a rudimentary smith, having forged my own practice blades in the past and since tinkered with kettle-forgings falling in line with with my most recent interests.

While I am yet unfamiliar of all the potential materials that can be acquired within or surrounding the Well, I propose a composition of brassworks for the core kettle assembly, with a pressure rune engraved in its face. Said rune will aid in the application and modulation of heat. I am hoping to garner your assistance in creating a self-regulating and multi-chambered brewing engine--the aforementioned "tea machine."

If you are to accept me, know that I will serve and fulfill whatever duty you permit me with passion and precision.


With sincere ambition,
Under your renowned hand,

Dia Arcmantle
