"My love,

How I’ve missed your voice. Being so far away in the gloom of cold mountains and lone dales. On dark nights such as these I long for your brightest hymns; to let them illuminate the path ahead. It is a light I need most now, when my soul has been dimmed to the faintest of cinders. My men are worried as the Wicked encroach on us. I do my best to remind them of the glory that awaits us, of a better world. But I feel myself falter without you by my side. In days ahead I assure you I will return to you as a victor. I will create that brighter future for us to live in."

— Carigen Ebonheart’s last letter
