Area Lore/Back Story

You get a crumpled, muddy letter.

exa letter

The letter bears a small portion of a wax seal, the remainder of which is no longer attached to the letter. The letter is wet, muddy, and crumpled as if it had been intentionally tossed aside. The name of the sender, recipient, and date have been washed out. A portion of the text of the letter remains. The script is flowing and precise.

...I pray that this letter finds you and your family well, and I pray that you will accept the enclosed invitation to visit us during the harvest. To mark the occasion and hopeful engagement, we will be sampling for the first time a small cask of wine that was prepared by my Husband many years ago near the time of our marriage....
