But surely, most of you sentient denizens residing on this fair
continent pondered of the nature of love at some point in your lives.
Whether trying to woo a prospective mate, or run away from him-- or
detaching your love from a certain place, pet or treasured relic, the
emotion of love is a truer reality than many of the powers one claims to
wield. Love is the subject of my studies, and I implore all of you for
your help in my endeavor.

I seek to compose a volume relating connections between supposedly
distant cultures of Aetherius, and the idea of love which almost all
hold dear. Or perhaps most disdain it-- that is for you to prove and
tell me. I ask for letters, interviews, simple messages and statements
concerning your feelings of the elusive emotion. If you would oblige
this, it would be a great honor.

Sincerely,
Elisse Heartley.

Penned by my hand on the 12th of Bellum, in the year 438 AD.
