The Shifting Tides...

Scrawled hastily onto a group of papers
My Lord Agelmar, I write to you one month after my departure as you requested, and thank the Light that I am around to do so.
As you recall, you sent me to secretly be recruited as a Darkfriend. It was well understood that I could never return to Shienar with a name under the Light, and I accepted this fate. It burns me to lose my family, friends, and most of all my honor.
Within a week of recruitment I had been on a campaign to attack Fal Dara. Twice more I would join the forces of the Shadow into the city, a scene of death and destruction. I struggled bitterly to hide tears as I saw my home in flames, despite my knowledge that we had no chance to succeed. I know now why the Shadow struck so weakly.
The Shadow's horde is not nearly as powerful as our army in Shienar, and this is the purpose of those resultless attempts at the city. The rumors you may have heard of the forsaken Ishamael are painfully true. He has found a weak point in the city and plans to exploit it. This rumor has brought up excitement within the Darkfriend ranks, though how it is planned to be carried out is unknown to me.
My failure to prevent this is not without hope. I have obtained a time in which this will occur. We are expected to be ready to extract a full scale assault on the city of Fal Dara on the 23rd of Saven, one week from tomorrow. I will do whatever it takes to undermine this mission from within.
Peace favor your sword, Lord Agelmar. It was an honor to serve Shienar.
This will take place on March 29th, 2006. Changes will result from this. Don't miss it!
