Mysterious Message Found on Assassinated Carrier Pigeon

(The Crossing, Zoluren: 87 Lirisa 351)

To the Northeastern Sentinel, from She of the Winds:

I apologize for the brevity of this message, but I must sleep now. My healing may take many years and you may not hear from me againbefore your mortal span (may it be long!) reaches its end.

Either way, we shall meet upon the Starry Road and share a cup at Glythtide’s table.

The message reportedly was signed only with an ‘E’
