Description
To Count Bernardo de Montfort-- FOR HIS EYES ONLY.

My lord--

It has been some time since you received a letter from your informant. I regret to tell you that he has taken a leave of absence from your services... of a rather permanent nature. But that is the way of Antiva-- if a threat to one's well-being exists, eliminate it. This search of yours must cease, and if I have my way, it shall.

No doubt you are furious at the level of arrogance I present. My only regret is that I cannot see the look on your face as you read this, wondering who might have the gall to send a brazen admission of the murder of your trusted servant. If you do not know by now, however, one has to wonder how your veritable business empire made its way off the ground.

My journey has taken an unexpected turn for the best. I journey now in the company of two Grey Wardens-- one the bastard son of King Maric Theirin. I have sworn myself to defeat the Blight, and indeed I shall. After all, Grandfather, you did impress a sense of right and wrong upon me.

I still wonder, sometimes, how you were able to live with yourself. Raising your grandson to be a good and noble person, that is. I looked up to you, Grandfather. You were everything I aspired to be, and then [ this section is covered with splotches of ink and is illegible ]

Now, however, you are afraid. Time has weakened you, and the crimes you have committed have taken their toll on your soul. You know that one day I will return victorious, that retribution will be mine. I have sworn a vow, Grandfather, and I intend to uphold it.

And when that day comes, Grandfather, you must be prepared. On that day, you meet the Maker.

– Sebastian de Montfort
