[NWI] A Letter Arrives

Thistleburn 12, morning

Robert the Swift is woken early by the chirping of his wondrous mechanical bird. A summer storm rages outside.

Over the rain, a strange sound can be heard at the window. Opening it reveals a grey pigeon chirping on the sill, soaked from flying through the downpour! The little bird has a tiny leather case tied to its leg. It waits patiently for Robert to take the package, then flies away into the tempest.

The case contains a two small scrolls written in neat script. The first is a simple invitation while the second provides more detail and a place to sign one's name:
