A broad white eagle soars down and lands on the pole of the Town Posts. It drops a red letter with gold trim and it has 3 royal emblems on the front

Hello fellow friends of Jastrie, it is I Zenphere, and I send horrible news. I have encountered many horrible things in the past week. When I returned to Zanardine from my last stop at Jastrie, a bad thing happend. A horrible storm hit Zanardine and destroyed most of the houses and parts of the castle. Before the storm happend though, I found a map of an unknown land. After that, the storm began. Me and my father Zeldera ran through the forests and luckily found the Southern Ocean. My father had a ship docked there and me, my father, and a bunch of other soldiers were onboard. We sailed off and my father used teleportation magic in which teleported the ship into unknown waters, and we sailed for many days until we reached the unknown land. I believe it was in another realm called Earth. And while we were there, a plain golden ring I had got extremely hot and strange words carved into it. And so now I wear it on a chain. A man who studied the magic art of enchantment told me it was the most powerful thing he had ever seen. He said it is the only thing that gives access to every realm in the entire space-time contineum. It was a shock, and he also said that the bearer can destroy everything that ever was if the ring is destroyed, and so I protect it allways. He said that all someone must do is wear it, which would burn extremely bad, and think of the place they wish to go the most, and they will go there. But my main concern is the road that leads from Zanardine to Jastrie, it has been blocked by rubble and trees and boulders, so Zanardines shipment of food and other imports to Jastrie have been limited. I have sent my best guardsmen to clear the roads, and they even found bandits lurking about. And that also effects my contact with Jastrie, but my eagle should take care of that for the time coming. But the main reason I send this letter is because of my father. He was fighting a battle in the Outlands and I didn't go with him. He died in the battle, and I wasn't there. And so I became king, I didn't want it, it was the worst gift I had ever been offered, but I would refer to it as a curse. I didn't want to take it, but I knew that I had to if I did not want my kingdom to fall into the hands of evil. And I had to. And so I did. -Zenphere
