A hastily written, anonymous letter lies on a writing desk beside an ink bottle and pen. Its contents hint at a rare opportunity—and a dangerous secret—known to only a few.

Recovered from a district filing cabinet marked “Incidents – Gruda,” this report details the unusual discovery of a dissolved Gruda form near the outer wall. The mention of possible sabotage has raised quiet concerns among local overseers.

A letter written by a merchant’s daughter to her younger brother, recently taken to the Mage Academy. The paper is plain and worn, but the words carry pride, curiosity, and the warmth of a sibling left behind.

Found discarded near a maintenance hatch in the lower industrial corridors, this document appears to have been crumpled and stepped on—likely swept aside during a shift change. It references a minor but telling incident involving cross-species misunderstanding and remains stained with machine oil.

Official replacement request issued by a Furnari workshop for three failing Gruda units. Document shows wear from repeated handling and includes idle graphite markings likely made during idle supervision.

Official memorandum issued by the Department of Migrant Affairs regarding the proper intake procedures for Vireen arrivals. The document outlines critical guidance on literacy, age-based housing, behavioural expectations, wing pigmentation monitoring, and legal protections. A practical attempt to bridge bureaucratic structure with the delicate reality of integrating a race driven by emotion and sensation.

Recovered from an abandoned satchel near a dried-out stream. Judging by its condition, the letter was written days earlier, possibly intended for someone far away. The name “Lira” appears at the top — no other details.
