Dearest Io,
Before I begin, I apologize for the curtness I’m sure that this missive will contain, but troubling word has just reached my ears and I must know if it is true. Your family’s steward had just reported that you have disappeared during the night. Now I have also heard whispers that you have made your way to the headquarters for the Cypress Sisterhood in Illytia. Are these rumors true cousin mine? If they are, then I must also ask what possessed you to make such a decision? Is there something that I should know about? Whatever is troubling you Io, I will do everything in my power to set it right. All you need to tell me what is the matter.
Please write back soon. We’re all worried about you and men are barred from the inner sanctum of the sisterhood so I have no way to seek you out -- especially now that we’re on the cusp of war. Send word quickly so both of our families can have peace of mind that you are safe and sound.
- Tim
