To Father Francesco Mirabella:
I heard from Prior Moesgaard that you have one of the largest collections of coins on Dagr. For a few years now, my company’s been digging up old rubbish for some rich knight who lives in Luna. This wouldn’t be that odd on its own, but the man pays us in strange coins marked with symbols I’ve never seen before. They’re definitely made of real gold, so we didn’t concern ourselves at first. Now, though, the jobs are getting more complicated, and I’m starting to suspect that he might be a spy from the Craterlands or some other shady type.
I’ve included two gold coins with this letter. Keep both. One is payment and the other is for you to take a close look at. I’d appreciate it if you could compare it to your current collection and tell me where it’s from. Since this is a knight and a customer, I ask that you keep this whole thing quiet. Whether I’m right to suspect him or not, it’d only cause trouble for me if he found out.
Sincerely,
J.
