Alak,
Since Elven Maid has computer access problems, I want to go ahead now and nail down the name of the three suspected guards who should be invited to the lunch. I will, of course, take the two names from Ealasaide and Everdawn, and then invent a third. If Elven Maid has time to fill in the save later, she can invent a story about the third fellow. Otherwise we will assume that she has sent a separate letter to Eckthelion, and he is responding to that....
Can you have Pelien receive two documents: the main letter and then a smaller note that will read like this:
Lady Pelien,
I have just received the information that you will need to complete your preparations for the luncheon. I will therefore send this list of names along with the same messenger who brings my letter to you.
Here is the list of names of the young men whom you will want to invite:
- Brigon - the gentleman in charge of the sorting house
- Athadan of Harondor - the guard who receives all mail and dispatches from the arriving ships, and, lastly,
- Aranarth, born and bred in Minas Tirith who was responsible for delivering the mail to my office the morning after the masquerade.
As I have said, you may also expect to see
Addruran who will be acting as my trusted agent in this affair.
Written in great haste,
Eckthelion, Steward
