FORYTH TEEL,
Senior Scribe of Astinus
*****
O Learned One:
A day has passed, and success! The priest has just
pronounced me ready to bear witness at the inner sanctum
of his temple! The activities of today have included
exercises in meditative discipline and discussions with
Erasmoth of the role of spiritual faith, which I quite
enjoyed. We had a lively debate on the moral state of the
Kingpriest prior to the Cataclysm and what effect, if any,
that had on it. We debated the implications of the Newsea
on trade in Ansalon.
I also spent time with Kassandry, and, though it was not
so intellectual, it was no less stimulating, if Your
Excellency understands my meaning. There was an air of
desire - almost hunger - in her attitude toward me that, I
confess, tempted me in ways I had thought long forgotten. I
assure Your Grace that my impartiality remains intact,
though her beauty and charm has put considerable strain on
my sense of duty and discipline. Indeed, were I a younger
man . . .
In any event, Excellency, the priest Erasmoth has
agreed that tomorrow I will be given the opportunity to
witness an actual demonstration of clerical powers!
He does not reveal the exact nature of the miracle he
plans - nor even the nature of his god - but he has assured
me that I will find it convincing
