Dear Fellow Traveler:

Welcome to the Land of Dereth! I know that your arrival here has been mostly characterized by confusion and chaos. You have been sucked from our home on Ispar and transplanted to an alien land bereft of most of your family and friends and all that you hold dear. This is why we formed the Society, to explore this alien land and make it our own. We have Explorers visiting the length and breadth of Dereth to examine creatures and wildlife. If we cannot leave Dereth, then we will make it our own.

To that end, we at the Society have decided to provide an adventure for all the new travelers to Dereth. Throughout the civilized lands of Osteth we have scattered Official Red and Gold Letters amongst the hostile creatures that our new adventurers are most prone to encounter, such as Drudges, and other beasts I will leave for you to discover. Occassionally these creatures will leave behind a Red, or even less occasionally, a Gold Letter. Acquiring possession of such a letter is only the first step, however.

We have talked with residents of nine cities located in Osteth. I will list their names and locations later in this note. These residents have agreed to act as Agents of the Society. Each of the nine towns will have a specific Town Stamp hidden in a nearby local dungeon. Find a specific Town Stamp and use it on your Red or Gold Letter. This will create a Stamped Red or Gold Letter, marked with the name of the Twon whose Stamp you used.

Take this Stamped Letter to one of the Agents and exchange for it a reward. The value and type of reward you receive will depend on whether it was Red or Gold, what kind of Town Stamped Letter you possess, and which specific Agent you give the Letter to. Agents from Towns whose heritage is different than the Heritage of the Town Stamped Letter you give them will generally give you better rewards. We have done this to encourage exploration of the wide vastness of Dereth and to give you experience in using the Portal System which many of us use to travel around Dereth.

The Portal coordinates for each local portal to the different Agents' towns wil be listed in separate Town Information Guides, which you should have received when you received this Book. Also included in that Information Guide will be the name of the dungeon where you will find the Town Stamp.

The rewards that you will receive in exchange for the Stamped Town Letters have been created in the hope that they will aid you in adapting and eventually thriving in your new home. I wish you the best of luck in your journey.

Sir Alayne, Founder of the Dereth Exploration Society

Notes Edit

Previously obtained by speaking to a Society Agent found in the nine original starter towns:

Flinrala Ryndmad tells you, "I have been contracted by the Dereth Exploration Society to help them in their outreach program towards the Isparians who find themselves newly exiled in Dereth. Here is a book that explains their mission. I am also giving you a list describing the locations of the nearest stamp and portals to other towns. If you collect any of the Society's stamped letters, you may bring them back to me for a reward."

Flinrala Ryndmad gives you A Book of Quests for New Explorers.

Flinrala Ryndmad gives you Nexus Town Information Guide.
