Cities of Sapience,

I am Cre'alhal, of the Aalen. Long have I laboured to learn the art of ritualism with what little is available to me: lost books left behind by wayward adventurers, scraps of paper lodged amongst the underbrush of the forest, and the occasional off-hand conversation echoing off the evergreens. At last, an opportunity has arisen for me to expand my understanding - at the behest of King Tu'eras - from experts in the field of ritualistic endeavours.

So I come to you, the city-sates of this continent we all share. My people may not agree with some of your lifestyles, but that does not mean there is no validity to your long histories of channelling and applying energies.

My hope is that you will teach me the ways you approach the topic of ritualism: what you channel, how you direct it, your overall focal point and concepts. If you have time, I would also be ecstatic at the prospect of seeing your people perform an example ritual detailing these lessons in a ritual of your own.

I will be starting my journey with our allies, the Villagers of Eleusis, before continuing to the other cities. I hope to arrive at each city according to the approximate dates below, though the times may not be exact. Who knows what one might stumble across upon the road!

Eleusis - 21st of Chronos, 836.

Hashan - 23rd of Chronos, 836.

Targossas - 19th of Glacian, 836.

Cyrene - 21st of Glacian, 837.

Mhaldor - 17th of Mayan, 837.

Ashtan - 19th of Mayan, 837.

I hope to see you there,

Cre'alhal, of the Aalen
