Mistress Areka D'Rinishad,

Greetings to you from Herozzal. May this letter find you in health and happiness.

I fear I am not much for pleasantries or small talk, so I will get to the point. Recent events in Herozzal have forced me to realize that, should I perish now, I would leave the house without an heir, my own children being either dead or disowned. I have no suitable immediate family, and so am looking to my extended family for potentials. Being female and of a young age, I would like to extend an invitation to you. Come to Herozzal, and I will train you and care for you as if you were my own daughter.

Enclosed is the house ring and a letter of passage, should you need it.

May Haya Bless Your Steps,
Zynoir D'Rinishad
Matron of House Vhileraen

Meiroth blinked slowly at the question. "Milady wishes for you to accompany me to Herozzal," he said finally. "For training. The Matron does not have any children worth speaking of. She searches for a suitable heir."
