Dear Suseri,
I cannot truly explain the subject of my research but the rumors you have heard are true: I have found a new and incredible project to work on.
The source of this project is a strange man that came to me under dire circumstances. He is my protege now.
I have come across something big, Suseri. I know that you pride yourself in knowing more about Sorcery than others. Being a Serpent, it is your right and duty, after all.
I will give you a favor if you help me research and fulfill this Ritual. I will also allow you to benefit from knowing said Ritual and to be free to copy it, should you want to.
I must warn you that certain components of this Ritual are unsavory to some, but to those of us that are not afraid of power, it is such a Gift!
Before I share any more, I will need your promise of complete secrecy in this matter.
I think you can guess much of what I am speaking of, but I cannot reveal more details on the matter, especially if the rumors about the Earl of the Fox are true.
Did you know that he intends to make the study Sorcery illegal?
Let me know if you will stand with me regarding this.
Sincerely,
Your friend,
Lorr Silja
