Father,
A messenger has acknowledged you are receiving my letters, but you are allowing no one else to speak with you. I can do nothing now but trust you are doing what you feel is right. I continue to send you the originals of these scrolls, and only hope you will write me when you can.
I am still having dreams... dark and wonderful dreams like the one in my last letter. I see a bright shield, like the symbol of a number eight, and a spear that shines golden in the sun. The man who holds it, Menjammel, is hearing whispers. Dark whispers. The other man, Betkammis, hears those whispers too. I think maybe if I listen, I too can hear those whispers...
I cannot abide not hearing your thoughts on our work! I almost seek to leave this place and go home again. I am compelled, however, as you know I would be. We will not rest until these words from our forefathers are revealed.
Your faithful son
Part Five Translation ("Zenya" of the Official Vanguard Forums): With the dwarfmen sacrificed [sacrifced] and Menjammel and Betkammis lost in the flames, we who remained journeyed [journeyued] home. It took us 100 days to travel home and the glow behind us died in that time. Some of us told the others that Menjammel and Betkammis defeated the -foe-, but many of us were lost in spirit and certain that the glow had quieted of its own measure. The journey through the hills again was [were] difficult and the dwarfmen who dwelt there had [dad] been driven away by the -pitenemy- and their cavehome put to fire. When we returned to the homeland our Khing lay dead and many of our people scattered and lost. Those who dwelt within the pit of sky fire had come to our lands and killed all they could find. We gathered those who would follow and travelled east again as the -dread- -enemy- of the pit had continued on to the west. We who remained armed ourselves well in fear of those who dwelt within the pit, but we saw none of those.
