Hail to you, wandering cousins in the woods.

And my condolences for the loss of your home and hearth.

There is a place you may find shelter, in the north. If any of the
former Ilaferi guild wish it, seek us in Ithaqua. The path to kinship
may be a long one, but we are kith already. I retain no grudge against
the Ilaferi. Faith, even Cedahlia, could tell you I have spoken with
them at times, ruefully discussing the similarities in our guilds and
our skills.

Do you bear a grudge, you women of the wood? You may find shelter in
Ithaqua, and teachers in the Wardens. Who knows, perhaps we are closer
kin than we thought.

Our wars are in the past. Where your future lies, I wish you downhill
paths and downwind prey.
