Since the days of his youth in Aman, Aicalion has always been fond of sketching quick impressions of the sights he encounters on his travels.This journal dates from the end of his leave of absence to Imladris in the late Third Age, and his return eastwards to duty in the Golden Wood.
Today we set out from Gwingris toward the Hithaeglir, and the mountains which I have seen from afar grow nearer with every step. They call to me, their bleak slopes and jagged silhouettes, and I cannot help but marvel in the beauty of the works of Aulë. Though I know the crossing will be difficult, and the cold bitter, there is something about the mountains which I have always loved, since the days of my youth.
This letter bears an official seal of two mallorn leaves. It is written with a clear, crisp script, with no unnecessary flourishes or ornaments. The work of a heavy hand, all the letters march across the page in strict ranks.
To Second Lieutenant Aicalion of the Golden Wood, Greetings.
This letter is written on fine parchment, in an elegant and flowing script. It bears an ornate seal depicting an embossed mallorn flower surrounded by two golden leaves.
