A letter to Alean the Steel Forger

From the Alduressa Shadow Armor quest, introduced during the Down Twisting Paths event.



Text Name A note, written by Iian di Alduressa, seeking the aid of Master Armorer Alean the Steel Forger in the creation process of Alduressa Shadow Armor.

Greeting to you, Master Alean,

My name is Iian di Alduressa, son of Count Alain di Alduressa. Once, before we all came to Dereth, my father shared his knowledge of the smithing of armors with the Masters of your people. Now, I seek to do the same with you.

On this world, you and your peers create a special armor, reportedly crafted using an alloy made from the shards of animate crystals and living shadows. Master Jibril has been generous with me in the sharing of how this is done, but I cannot test this knowledge without your aid. I am in need of a partially prepared sample of one of these Crystal Shards. If you could aid me in acquiring one of these samples, I would be eternally grateful.

As to any concerns you would rightfully have about my involvement and loyalties in the war between our peoples, rest assured that I will have no part in it. I seek only to advance our mutual craft.

-- Iian di Alduressa
