To Mor'ahn, my dearest friend, Work goes well here in the Guild. Guild Master Kor'etah has pushed us hard to continue our studies. Much of our time is spent with the Ink-Makers, though it is mostly informal and relatively meaningless at this date. Our abilities are not yet of a necessary degree that would require us to work so closely with them. A'neris is well however, I'm absolute in my thoughts that he regrets your leave from the Guild of Book-Makers.
So much time has passed, yet I am eager for what is yet to come. Many of the newer Guild Members are more apt[1] to their work then our age was. It is very peculiar, though I do not regret it. In days like this, we need a right amount of happiness. It is clearly visible that we will not get it directly from the Guilds. Gei'tura has been proud of his latest group of Guildsmen. We all know how much he praises himself, and his works, but to hear him speak so highly of the Maintainers is unusual[2].
One such boy, barely old enough to be in the Guild, shows much promise by the eyes of the senior Guildsmen. He is apparently in the Guild of Surveyors, though from what I've heard he had intended to be a Writer. He seems very odd for a boy his age. He tends not to listen to his senior Guildsmen, especially when it comes to certain wildlife in many of our Ages. It would seem very peculiar to find a Surveyor (line of text smeared beyond recognition)[3] in that Age of all places! I merely hope that the Guild Masters will notice this behavior before appointing him to a high position.
I visited Reken in J'taeri the other day. Of course I had to let him run through my latest work before presenting it to Kor'etah. I sometimes wonder if he merely took this position to read from our books and take our lines of text as his own. And without notice, he presented Guild Master Kor'etah with a new Age! It's even being looked through by the Maintainers as one of the most well-written Ages in the History of today’s Writers! I was one of the few allowed to visit the Agehe calls U'tuna. Even more unusual was the position of the islands; they are almost identical in size and shape to Etan's last Age, Ke'mara. I am deeply troubled by this, but Maintainers from Etan's Age will be visiting U'tuna, I am sure they will find something interesting while they erect the pods[4].
Before I must return to my work, I must ask: did you find the letter and book I sent you? I left it in the pub off of Tokotah. I’m sure you will find my trinkets in their respective locations. If all else fails, contact me again from Rezeero[5]. I hope to see you again soon, my friend. I have planned a special visit between you and Kor'etah. Perhaps we will work together again, someday!
Your Fellow Guildsman, Te'nur.
Footnotes[edit | edit source]
- ↑ apt – I am assuming here. The document was faded, and hard to tell if it referred to positive or negative reactions. Due to further reading, however, I decided this word would fit correctly. –Marcus
- ↑ speak so highly of the Guildsmen is unusual – This leads me to believe that only very experienced, senior, or unusually potent Guildsmen were praised. This would lead to many being pushed to further impress their Guild Masters and advisors. –Marcus
- ↑ line smeared beyond recognition – Much of this line was unrecognizable. Some words were visible, but I had no knowledge of their meaning. Also, a line of Spanish was written above it reading: What lies they spread. –Marcus
- ↑ pods – This leads me to believe (due to the word Rezik) that the Guild of Maintainers were tasked with building pods in each Age, then linking to said pods in order to observe an Age until it was ready to receive a mark of approval from the Maintainers. –Marcus
- ↑ rezeero – I assume this refers to the Great Zero and using it as a means of triangulating the location of Te’nur’s letter and book. –Marcus
