Ranger Sylvar, I hope this report finds you well. I have seen yourself and your Circle from afar in recent days, coming and going, it seems.
I have little to report. We continue our work on the efforts you directed. My wranglers are making steady progress on the Saddles as specified and I am focusing entirely on the Mark. With my next report, I hope to have the Saddles delivered and the Mark ready to be applied to the steed you then specify.
Somewhat unrelated to these activities, I do hope to hear from you your direction on a matter: I have learned that the Baron intends to go forth in the coming days, toward the Sacred Wood. Word is that he will speak with the Mountainfolk and perhaps the Elkkin regarding some alliances. I do not envy him the prospect of this undertaking, however much I respect his willingness to do so. Rumors suggest that he may also visit Greensward. I hope this is not true.
If any of these murmurings prove substantiated, Sylvar, should we not offer our assistance? The ruler of Darkmoor, in days of old, traveled exclusively by Aldermane-pulled carriage, so the stories say. While we can scarcely afford to offer two of our limited host of Aldermane, should we not? I would hate to think that others might suggest that Aldmaar failed to meet the moment.
We have in our fold, Regius, a proud stud, fine and strong, who unfortunately has been unsuccessful in mating with our breeding pair. Likewise, there is Marin, who has while older, keeps the other mares in line. I could reluctantly recommend that we might sacrifice those two steeds for the Baron’s cause, if you think it wise.
I leave the decision in that matter entirely up to you. I have spoken to no one regarding this matter, except Regius and Marin themselves, who have offered no objections.
Your loyal follower,
Torren Vexleaf, Breaker of Aldmaar
