This is one of a series
of letters sent between Souriin Draco and Euvgeni Maryamitrevnavich
shortly after 2705:11:4.
Souriin.
We have been friends for over a decade
-- two decades at the same time, so to speak. In that time we've done some
things that were expediant at the time, for the sake of the fellowship
of the rod and recently against the blight, and the illithid and the Empire.
Now we are faced with the consequences
of our actions affecting more that just a fellowship.
-
Simply put, I have to think about my
position in Outreach.
-
I have to worry about my troops who
will see their leader commanding undead, thinking "what happens when I
die? Do I become another Undead in the General's army?"
I will give you all my strategic assistance
I can give you. I will deploy these undead troops to defend the nations
who signed the alliance treaty at Ivrea. I will do all of this for a price
and a condition:
The price is our friendship:
I will never trust you as I once did. I will not welcome you in Outreach.
Your reputation of dealing with the dead would not go down well.
The condition is: the council at
Ivrea must vote unanaimously for the use of these undead caches.
Sometimes there are things that are
just not worth risking for freedom, one of those is my soul, the other
my conscience.
Farewell old friend for the last
time
Euvgeni Maryamitrevnavich
Ambassador for Outreach
