<DIV>Dearest Ansteorrans</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Whereas the situation at the upcoming Gothic war ( <A href="http://trelac.ansteorra.org/Gothic/"><FONT color=#810081>http://trelac.ansteorra.org/Gothic/ </FONT></A>)is so very dire, it would seem that my decision to hire a second rate scribe (I did it myself) instead of doing as my wonderful Lady suggested and paying more for a properly experienced artist to do the writing for me was... a rash one. There where you see...Financial concerns (I spent all my money on booze for Gothic) which prompted my decision to take the task on.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Whereas I cannot confirm, nor deny the existence of an army of undead chickens in the west-lands, there is some small Intel suggesting that this may well be the case (salmonella eggs anyone), and so cannot be ruled out completely. Nor do I expect the Zombie-king Hrafn to act, fight, or dress like a chicken or any other bird for the war to come (though that would be a hoot)...I expect he is quite serious about corrupting the souls of us all, and eating our brains. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>There are however real live zombies out there, the horde grows by the day, and so we must stand together once more and drive back the forces of darkness.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Again if you would be so kind as to cross post, too many of our message riders failed to return.</DIV>
