Hail and well met, citizens of the Basin.

I am certain that my return to the realms has gone largely unnoticed
outside of my own city; that is to expected. I am equally certain that
it is of little interest to most of you; that, too, is to be expected.
No matter; I greet you one and all.

Those of you to whom my name is meaningless, well met. The rest of you,
I am pleased to renew our acquaintance.

Thank you for your time and attention.

Respectfully,

Ashar d'Valeros.

Penned by my hand on the 1st of Tzarin, in the year 166 CE.
