Dear friend,
A series of fateful events has allowed me the opportunity to acquaint myself with members of your kindly and hospitable family; in particular the smith Osvald and miss Enna. I shall not bore with you the matter which resulted in our meeting, but I shall say it was one I am most glad for!
Osvald appears quite an industrious man, even in the case of the absence of his guiding hand in his master Dunois (who was injured during the Dravanian assault), and miss Enna was a picture of courtesy. Naturally, when your name entered the discussion they were most enthused and excited to learn of the details of your life abroad. Though I did not and do not claim to know you enough to speak to every detail of your life and habits in Ul'dah, I sought to inform them to the best of my ability. Each seemed considerably relieved and rejoiced at news of your well-being and prosperity, and it was they who encouraged me to pen this letter, that I might communicate the news and happenings of your family to you while you yet remain foreign to the Holy See.
It is to my regret and heartfelt sadness that I must tell you in so impersonal a method as a letter that the hardship and struggle which has beset Ishgard in these dire times has not spared your family. Your brother Kael, whom I am told married into an Ishgardian family of some esteem, saw the Dravanian assault reach the very doorstep of himself and his family. In the course of the vigilant defense of his home and kin he came to be wounded, while his father-in-law and brother-in-law both succumbed to fatal blows and have risen to join the Fury in her glory. I am told he has received well-earned honors in reward of his valor, and has assumed a far greater role of responsibility within his household. I was directed by miss Enna to note that he remains a proud and caring father, and that he endeavors to instruct his children in the native tongue of your family.
Miss Enna also implored me to discuss with you the state of being of your father, whom has grown sickly and weary in the trying times since the attack upon the city. I do not know your father personally, but miss Enna recounted how he ventured out on his lonesome into the fury and fray in the midst of the attack to find her and return her home. I recall my father once made mention of yours, to the effect that he was a warrior of some fashion before your family's flight from the east; such action gives great credence to this claim. Your father is presently being attended by his diligent wife, and by the words of your brother has grown peaceful and taciturn in his time since.
In all, your family appears to be thriving as well as can be expected in these tumultuous times of upheaval and strife. Nonetheless, I believe your presence is greatly missed and would be a significant boon to the morale of your kin here within the city. Until such a time as you deem fit to return, however, I am happy to facilitate this communication between yourself and your family.
Your friend as ever,
