Dear Father,

I ran into Orianna today. You would like her; she was as critical of my leaving as you were. I will try to remind Gerhard to invite her to Waterdeep, so that you can all meet her.

I also discovered that Lord Lucky Eyes of Sapphire resides in Daring Heights these days. It seems that the world is smaller than we thought - Orianna and he are close friends, by how concerned he was for her wellbeing. I digress. He sends his best, and I told him that you would do the same. It may be worth your checking in on his daughter, Flame.

Anyway. Orianna. It appears that while I was away she became embroiled in the machinations of a dragon that wished to become a god. While they had put down the upstart, she was concerned for the wellbeing of a few priests that had been left behind to do battle with the upstart god's followers.

Her concern took us to Kundar, a city to the west of where I am now. That took us to a shattered dome of glass in the desert, where we discovered that her priests had been taken. That took us then to a mountain in the Sunset Spines, deep below the ground.

The head priest of this would-be-god, Desathrax, was there. Steppenwolf. I do not mean to worry you, Father, but it was a difficult battle. Luckily, we were able to end it and send the foul priest and its undead back to the grave.

I write this having returned home, safe. The threat has been vanquished, though I am afraid the same cannot be said for Orianna's ire towards me. I do owe her and the others a debt - maybe I made a payment towards the principle today.

I pray to Tymora you are well.

Henri
