Mini-event storyline to launch the Forgotten Vinyard area for Level 58-62 Shan involving the merchant Duvernith by GM Meraki and GM Lydil.

By Seeing you

Duvernith walked into his office inside the Mercantylers' Guild and found an envelope sitting on his desk. It was sealed with unadorned wax and only had his name on the front, written in a handwriting he had seen once before. He broken the wax with his thumb and pulled the letter out that was folded inside:

Master Duvernith,

It is always a pleasure to find someone who does not disappoint and lives up to their reputation. You have done then and then some. Someone who can get a job done, regardless of the circumstances that crop up to it. Someone who faced severe adversity and did not back down. Someone who can understand the long view about the work they do. I wonder if those who currently employ you understand the asset they have on their hands. Should you ever grow weary of your current circumstances, know that other opportunities will avail themselves.

While you may have viewed your recent endeavor as a failure, you should know that it was not. Two unsavory, untrustworthy individuals, the kind who would turn upon their own to advance themselves and not care who was hurt in the process, have been given their just due. Additionally, your efforts to see the 5001 Vornavian Red located were not for naught. While it did not end up in your hands, it did end up in where it belonged in the end. Perhaps one day you can enjoy a glass of it yourself.

Regardless of your feeling, remember these words and they may prove advantageous in the future. Until then continue to not disappoint.

Be Seeing You.

The letter was left unsigned and without any flourish. Duvernith placed it down on his desk, and just looked at it for several moments in thought. Stepping back outside his office, he asked those around if anyone had seen someone in his office but none had. Returning to his office Duvernith took the letter back up to examine it another time. As he looked over the parchment, he found it completely blank, all traces of the words were gone.

Thanks
