A little cartographer on a mission. | To: All Heroes of Light

[no1]

[ The letter is delivered to all Heroes in the morning of the 17th, and the handwriting is unusually clean and elegant. ]

Considering that tomorrow marks the beginning of our expedition to the Continent of Ruins, there is a request I would like to make in regards to the mission. Namely, I have been tasked by Cid with procuring a map of the entire continent.

Because our knowledge of the region and its advancement is extremely limited, I realize that this might not be as simple as purchasing such a document, and there is also a possibility that one has yet to be created. This is where I turn to all of you, believing that it is in our best interest that we familiarize ourselves with what the new land has to offer.

I will share the final outcome as soon as my task is completed, but until then I would be most grateful for any information, regardless of its form, containing geographical data about the continent. For now, it remains merely my personal request, for I decided to abstain from announcing it as a formal Quest until I know more, but if it is a reward that you seek in exchange for your contribution, please contact me and we will discuss that as well.

It is of course unknown to what extent we will be able to explore the land on our own during our first expedition, so this might have to wait until we arrive. Nonetheless, as always, you can either reach me via Mognet or find me tomorrow, if you prefer to speak in person. Thank you in advance for your interest.

And to everybody who has signed up, good luck.

I hope that this letter finds you all well,

In the aftermath of the Night of the Thirteen Moogles, and on suggestion from other concerned individuals, this letter contains information on a particular moogle who has been now transferred from the military prison at Esdham to Aqures Ixen with the intention of a parole pending. I respectfully request that this information is only circulated where it is most prudent to be sent, given the sensitive nature of countless others in the wake of events we have just witnessed.

For those of you unaware, Mograma was complicit in an experiment -involving a Black Crystal- conducted by Kalki, in the attempt at revival of King Moggle Mog XIV in the year previous. Since his capture he has remained imprisoned for his crimes which placed arguably the entire realm of Crystallis in grave danger.

Said Black Crystals remain a mystery with regard to the extent of their properties and the scope of their interaction and/or influence over our existence as Heroes of Light. Through persistent questioning by myself and a few others in the months since, Mograma has repeatedly hinted at information that he neglects to share, first insisting that he be at least considered for a small amount of freedom. Considering Mograma was sentenced for execution in Esdham, a petition has now been granted and he has been moved to Aqures Ixen where we might more personally take a hand in the issue.

Biggs has tasked me to prepare the particulars and necessary security measures required, working in hand with Law Enforcement personnel, to allow Mograma to be granted a measure of freedom, prospectively as a supervised-parole, should he hold up the end of our agreement.

Given my own position, not least my role within Esdham's military, I'm sure you understand this is no small task.
Therefore, I welcome any and all who would volunteer in this endeavor, to offer comments or suggestions that we might be able to deliver the level of security required -yet at the same time offer a chance to show that we are not like the one who used Mograma's faith in his King as a tool, nor are we the great scourge upon this land. 

Yours,
Sephiroth

Letter to Raven

[Delivered by a rather breathless Moogle that flew as fast as it could to deliver this brief message. The penmanship is a little less elegant than usual. Either she wrote it quickly out of excitement, or she wrote it while on a chocobo's back. Perhaps both.]

Raven,

I'm certain you heard of the expedition launching to the new continent tomorrow? I've received permission to join! Will you be going as well? As the inn's front desk may be closed by the time I arrive in Aqures Ixen, I would like to request the use of your closet for this evening. You will hardly know I am there, I assure you. If this is agreeable, I'll come to your window. Please leave it unlocked, as my arrival will be quite late and you may be sleeping by that time. But if you are awake, I shall greet you personally.

My thanks in advance. If, however, this would cause you problems, leave a note on your window and I shall seek shelter elsewhere.
