# [[Letter to Gunter Weiss]] >Document A letter found in [[Harrow Hill Manor]] that connects directly [[The Old Baron]] to [[Gunter Weiss]], [[Baron Johnas Uthrak de Diamantine]], [[Lord Valleysworth]], and cites [[Baron Carlos Moreno de Lake Hope]]. ## The Letter ![[To the Esteemed Gunter Weiss - Google Docs.pdf]] ## Transcript [[Brine Rapids]], 15 of Snowtide of 1003 To the Esteemed [[Gunter Weiss]], Your latest missive was a delight, my friend. The [[Silver Heart]] apparatus—truly, it is as if [[Saint Lucius the Purifier|Saint Lucius]] himself has blessed our endeavors. To cheat death so elegantly... I eagerly await the day we may put it to use. More good news: [[Dame Carlota Sandragon|Dame Sandragon]] has recovered the [[Machete of Saint Bart]] from the hidden tomb of [[Vestal Sinara Arden]], south of [[Places/Settlements/Lake Hope|Lake Hope]]. The site is ideal—secluded, forgotten, and conveniently close to a village of escaped slaves. With the right “persuasion”, they could serve as the foundation of a new army. I trust you’ll see the potential. Meanwhile, [[Baron Carlos Moreno de Lake Hope|Baron Moreno]]’s folly amuses me. [[Baron Johnas Uthrak de Diamantine|Baron Uthrak]] and [[Lord Valleysworth]] played him into sending his men to die at [[Fort Flagpost]] for nothing but rumors of [[Sir Sebastian Brown]]’s relics. Now his forces are gutted, and whispers say [[Paladin of Saint Malcolm|Malcolm’s zealots]] stir. Keep an eye on your brother [[Sir Klaus Weiss|Klaus]]—his devotion makes him an enemy, but a useful one. Should these fanatics rise, we must be ready to drown them in their own blood. Do visit soon. I long to hear more of your work. Regards, [[The Old Baron|Baron Jarel Malazzart]]
