[Elfsea] Re: [Ansteorra] Pirates At Steppes Warlord

[Tessa Nieto]

My most dear and honored lady,

I had once thought that this was only rumour as well.
However, my lord husband, who is a seaman in his own
right, had discovered whilst inspecting the local
tavern, that the dreaded pirate Jacquote de la Hay and
her mischevious band of pirates were planning on
looting and pillaging the upcoming festivities in our
neighbouring barony.

I do believe that our most gracious and humble Lord
and Lady Elfsea as well as their Excellencies Steppes
are aware of this...planned invasion. I have been told
that Jacquote de la Hay is a terror and a woman, no
less. However, do not allow her weaker sex to deceive
you, madame; she is a fierce and dreadful pirate. Do
call your husband home. Gather your servants and warn
them accordingly. Though this may just be a rumour (I
pray by the saints that it is), it would do us good to
be on our guard.

Until your missive reaches my door, I pray you good
e'en, dear and honored lady. Godspeed this message,
and I pray your household is safe.

In humble service,
Lady Eleanor Cleavely

Postscriptum: Jacquote is fond of sending her crew out
in the form of "lords" and "ladies". Do not be fooled.
It will be difficult to recognize some of these
hideous beasts but, if one looks carefully, we may see
some within our own baronial ranks. Take care, lady.
