I've found something promising! There are correspondences between Montoya and Ms. Bentezza in the Stellographic Archives here in the Capital. I've spent the last five days sifting through, I knew there would be something worth finding! A lot seems to be lost, but there's a story to tell here. Attached to this letter is a scan of a stellograph, I hope you find it interesting.

I'll send more when I can sort through them properly.

I must confess your words have worried me to movement. You will forgive the brevity of this letter, but I have little time or concentration to focus. I do hate these commercial airships. My fellow passengers have refused to respect manners befitting of a public space and as such my mind is beleaguered by noise and constant jostling. I hope when we make stop next I will be able to send this letter on to you so that it may arrive before I do, therefore forewarning you of my presence in Antonia.

I have been speaking to the captain about the old days of commercial flight, and he was able to direct me to an old friend of his, who had several blueprints of older airships. Héctor, I cannot suppress my astonishment at the discovery of the Airship Freedom's Wings in that dossier. He allowed me to take a copy he had made, which I now send on to you for safe keeping.

I have progressed further into the trust of the Bentezza Family. I will spare you the details, but I was able to look through their more private collections, and I came across this portrait. I was able to make a copy of it to send to you and return it without issue. Please do not send any more letters to the Bentezza household, I will send you a more private postal box by which you may get in touch with me.

In copying this photograph, I did not have the time to also copy the back of it, but inscribed on it is "In remembrance of our time in Trés Barranques." It is signed by Mila Bentezza.

I have been incredibly fortuitous in my dealings with the Morena House recently. I have, through the various means you know to be at my disposal, convinced the curator, Dr. Gavin Morena, to give me a guided tour of some of the portraits that they keep in their archive whether for storage or restoration purposes. One such portrait however, caught my eye: a photograph of which I have enclosed within this letter.

It is, of course a very young Montoya. It was apparently gifted to the museum by an anonymous soldier, along with a container that contained some of his personal effects. I have some suspicions as to who this may have been, however I will continue to do my research before making baseless conjectures. Importantly, included in these personal effects seems to have been either his original, or a copy of his citizenship card from when he was a 2nd Leutenant.

I am glad to hear of your success. I have continued my search within Antonia. Using the approximate dates we have discerned and a very short lived conversation with the entity in question, it seems that the constant companion of Miss Bentezza, a certain Rhoden Pinky was first summoned by her shortly after she and the Captain arrived in Alpujarra, it was, at that time, still an unregistered familiar. I was unable to have a further discussion with the spirit as it had other business to attend to however I hope to have a further conversation with it at another point in time.

I have also found, within the old Portolés Archives in Antonia, a series of journals and notebooks written by an as of yet unidentified author that I thoroughly believe to be our elusive Captain, as the handwriting of the texts seem to match up to his own, as well as the nature of the texts. Stories, Sebastian. They are draconic stories. You will forgive my lack of decorum when I say that I am beyond ecstatic to have found these journals. I believe they will be seminal to our understanding of draconic art forms and storytelling. In one such notebook I have found a sketch labled Razajith, the image of which is comparable to the form of the drake, Razzy, that the Captain is so often painted alongside.
