7. Letter from Father Francesco Mirabella to J.

Dear child,

I will not ask what business you have involved yourself in. Instead, I will merely remind you that the confession booth is available to all with a guilty heart.

You will find the coins you sent enclosed with this letter. Interesting though they may be, I am not one to charge a fee for sharing my knowledge. They are certainly unlike any coin I’ve seen before. The marking on the back is similar but not identical to a religious symbol used in the Keishi Kingdom. I have never known this symbol to be used on currency, however, and the coins seem to be made of a purer form of gold than what is common in the aforementioned state. I feel confident, at least, in saying that it is unlikely to be from the Craterlands. Though I possess only a few samples of its coinage, my fellow collectors assure me that it is all made of the same black metal.

I hope that this letter has put you at ease. You have piqued my curiosity, so I hope that you will, if you ever learn where the coins came from, share their origin with me.

Sincerely,

Father Francesco Mirabella
