Response to Father

Dear Lord Prince Imrahil,

I appreciate your suggestion and I will seek out this Alagos. Thus far there has not been a third murder, but we've yet to find any lead as to who, or why. I will make use of them, to try to prevent this from occuring again. It is best you remain, less people start talking about what sped you and the others home. Combating the rumours would be difficult at best.

As to the rest of your news, I am deeply troubled and distressed. Dead walking? Cults? I once again reiterate my suggestion that we distance ourself further from the affairs of the eastern provinces. If they are plagued by such things, I've no wish for Belfalas to be troubled as well. We can support ourselves with the farms, and the sea, and still tithe to Minas Tirith. They do not need anything else from us, and barely deserve even that.

Regarding Umbar. I've received word from some of your spies that there was a disturbance there, recently. Some sort of earthquake. The palace is devastated, and other parts of the city were damaged, particularly the docks. They are in disarray and there is further infighting amongst the leaders. Though I am unsure as to it's validity, one report spoke of a magical battle in the palace, which is where the earthquake seemed to have originated. Elessar's spies have already likely sent word, but I do not know if he has recieved it yet, with his injury.

Regarding Arnatur, I will have forces sent out to investigate any other potential problems we might face, in the towns and villages. I can also have the gallows prepared. I might even throw the trapdoor open myself.

The news about Lothiriel grieves me, and I cannot help but think she was tricked, or seduced. To just go behind your back like that, and not even inform us? Nay, this 'King' of Rohan has tricked her. I will send her a letter, asking her to come to her senses. I will announce an engagement, but I do not have to like it. And I can scarcely believe the King did this, either.

You can still annull it, and I care not who it was that wed them, even if it was Ulmo himself. You must speak to Elessar, and express your outrage in his part in this. You are her father, and the lord and Prince of one of his provinces. That is all I will say about that.

Please tell my wife and son that I send my love, and that I've a present for him. Do not tell him this, but I've gotten him a puppy, and it will be arriving a few days after this letter.



Elphir.
