Pen Pal: Aislyn Leavold location: Alvadas ~80 days transit from Lhavit
Sent: Fall 5, 514 AV To: Vanator, The Sanctuary, Riverfall mistakenly delivered to Aislyn Leavold, Alvadas
Journey wear and poor penmanship in the address compound and result in the letter's mistaken delivery to Aislyn Leavold in Alvadas. The handwriting is large, the letters often poorly shaped, and many words are misspelled, suggesting an inexperienced writer. The letter is written entirely in Common.
Also included in the envelope is a second sheet of the same size. On this sheet is a very rough outline of southern Kalea, Falyndar, and western Cyphrus; dots labeled 'R' and 'L' (for Riverfall and Lhavit respectively), and a line connecting the two by sea.
actual text :
Hi Van! Its been a long time since we tawked. But my writting is getting better so I decided to write a letter. I am in Lavit now and have been for a while. Everything is good you dont need to worry about me beeing safe. And I havent seen a single Akolak here. You dont need to worry about that either!
I made a litle map for you from the book with how we went from Riverfall to Lavit. I put some other things on it too. On the map, it looks like we past close to some cities in Iktol but really all I saw for the longest time was just water! I was very glad when we got to the city.
Lavit is weerd though. The people like to be awake both day and night. They sleep in little naps I guess insted of all at once. I dont get it -- night is for sleeping! Its also very prety here. There's a river here thats maybe as big as the Bluevayn. There are lots of mountins of course -- the city is spread across five of them! -- and almost all of the buildings look like theyr made of glass. It doesnt feel anything like actual glass though -- it's warm, where glass would be cold. Like I said its weerd!

I made a little map for you from the book, with how we went from Riverfall to Lhavit. I put some other things on it too. On the map, it looks like we passed close to some cities in Eyktol, but really, all I saw for the longest time was just water! I was very glad when we got to the city.
Lhavit is weird, though. The people like to be awake both day and night. They sleep in little naps, I guess, instead of all at once. I don't get it -- night is for sleeping! It's also very pretty here. There's a river here that's maybe as big as the Bluevein. There are lots of mountains, of course -- the city is spread across five of them! -- and almost all of the buildings look like they're made of glass. It doesn't feel anything like actual glass, though -- it's warm, where glass would be cold. Like I said, it's weird!
Sent: Fall 87, 514 AV Received: early Spring 515 AV From: Aislyn Leavold, Alvadas
A letter sent the eighty-seventh of Fall, 514 AV. Contained in a travel-damaged, but otherwise neat, envelope, the note is written in small handwriting, with a large timestamp at the top. Outside the envelope is a return-to-sender sort of addressment, with a note scribbled down on the envelope in hasty handwriting; “To the sender of the letter addressed to Van”.
This book is a collection of maps and sketches Dust has made during her travels. As a learning project, it better showcases how her skills have progressed over time rather than the places she's been.
This book is in Garland's possession as of Winter 516.
