*Resting upon the table is a letter neatly sealed in a brown envelope, seal with a large red wax seal, an intricate A pressed into the wax seal. Within the envelope is a letter and a small map to the Grey Mountains.*
"To the esteemed reader,
My name is Azkas, son of Azerl. Word has traveled to my halls that a great evil has sought to destroy the fortress of Draugmir and nearly succeeded, such word is troubling. It pains me to know of the great loss of life that has come at the hands of one of your own. My finest loremaster and I have been considering a means of sending aid before another attack is launched against you.
What we found is a tale lost in legend, an axe held within the Grey Mountains, my homeland, which in and of itself may not sound impressive. I should note that it is not the axe you desire, but the contents within its hallowed haft. I have attached a map to the rough location where we believe this axe is currently located. It may be little more than legend, and returning to my homeland is a journey for only the most hardened warriors as the way is dangerous, but my loremaster is not often wrong. The risk may be your only hope.
I intend to join you, and may have others who will assist as we approach their own homelands, assuming you insist on undergoing this quest. Should you decline, however, I will still be arriving to assist you how I may. I owe a debt to your company and your adversary, but I know right from wrong. Be brave my friends, I shall see you soon.
- Azkas Cobble"
