A Missive for Thieves
━━━━━━━◈━━━━━━━
To the poor miscreants who saw fit to defile the Shrine of Elia's Vigil:
My sincerest apologies.
No doubt you intended to get my attention, yet I, mired as I have been in the banal affairs of state, rudely deliver this ultimatum four days late. Perhaps I am losing my edge.
Regardless, my attention is now yours, and undivided. The deal is thus: Return to me what was stolen, and be offered a path of absolution, without harm to you or yours. Flee, though, from Ness's forgiveness, and be met with Elia's wrath.
Decide swiftly, dears. I have already set the hounds loose.
