Letter from Eorl the Confessor to Jean-Claude
From Record Of Fantasy Adventure Venture
Eorl wrote a letter to Jean-Claude that was written in Norse, but spelled phonetically with poorly written Greek letters. Proper names are all spelled correctly in Greek. Numbers are in Greek as well, although they appear here in Roman numerals. The first letter is exactly how Eorl wrote it followed by the translation as done by Reynaldo.

Jean-Claude-- I hope this somehow finds you. I'm sure your alive. I have much to tell you. Throkians took Chrysopolis with copy monster (copy Beardo-- fooled me). Lucretius got back one week after (good work!). Kill Throkian, kill copy monster. Lucretius is the real Harald. HARALD NOT DEAD. Be careful. Statues came to Constantinople. Njal freaked (ha!). Kai dead? Gunther dead? Harald kill one statue, one go where? Be careful. Harald find early Greek dungeon in Byzantium. Very important. Octopuses came before! 3000 years? 4000 years? Someone fight them and kill them. Who? How? No idea. Tailed men in Byzantium. 3 came through Chrysopolis and stole 6 fingered baby girl. Attempted a ritual. Was it interrupted? If yes, pure luck. One [tailed person] killed. Patriarch talked to the body. He knew little. Made Patriarch think, though. Good. There is a dungeon under Chrysopolis. Made by early Christians. Christians summon down ANGEL named "NELCHAEL." Very powerful. IF we find a way to bind him, he could be our messenger! Need messenger badly. I am sending group to Macedonia. Look for Ikkulu's letters. Need way to tell you and Harald (?) what they find. Harald, Gur, Wirschen, and Justinian go East and Ido follow. You go north (I hope). Thalia? Wong? Reynaldo? Kai? Gunther? Trying to get our allies to send representatives to Chrysopolis. Writing letters to druids, Mithras, and Prince Orm. Also others you don't know. Maybe elves. Not sure yet. Patriarch is helping a little. He's still not convinced. I am making allies with mermen. Euxine king "ADEPHO." Mermen used to be elves' friends. Might help you. WAIT - I'M NOT WRITING letters. I took Halcyon write. He's a royal pain in my ass. Oeone too. They say hi. I write this letter because it has secret plans. Only you will know how to read it. I hope. No news of Evelake. Someone said they saw Lady Thora fly over the city. It was Gur though, so 'whatever.' Even with troubles here, we are making progress. I speak Greek better than I write it. Chrysopolis is recovered from Michael and the siege. It is becoming strong. The Bithyanians also call Chrysopolis "SCOTARI," which means shield. I hope to Corellon, Hanali, Christ, and any other gods who will listen that it will shield us all when there is no place left to run from the forces that dog us across the world. We must prevail. BETWEEN THE EARTH AND THE SEA STANDS CHRYSOPOLIS. Onward, Eorl
