Solid Ground

To the Lord Valerian on the first day of the seventh month of the Second Age of Lumenorus, 2:00
Greetings my lord,
I am Guardian Carthion.  I am the guardian of a gate into the world of men located in the forest of Sauvage.  I request the aid of the Praedorian Rangers and as many loyal officers as you can spare.  Drochs are moving again in these lands.  I know that I cannot hold them off from this gate alone.  Not one hour ago, a Droch crept past me, searching for the gate.  It wil not search again, but others of its kind are sure to find it.

signed,
Carthion, Guardian of the forest Sauvage
