Ser Benjen Frey,

I hope you find yourself well after a day of jousting, but I could not help to find myself eventually after a long day at the Drunken Huntsman, were your good friend Lord Dunstan Tullison was making offers of coin to anyone willing to come to him with information regardless an incident you are involved in, there was interesting people in his company and I just wanted to wish you well in your future endeavors and hope you do not find yourself in my situation before long.

Best Regards

Athelstan Pyke"


With a grin to his face, he gives to a messenger with 2 silver stags, take this to lord Benjen Frey, please.

[Reader]

The messenger nods, testing the weight of the coin in his hands.

Satisfied, he sets off to deliver the message, picking his way carefully through the dark castle grounds.

Athelstan has a scribe write another letter while he waits for the messenger to return

Lady Isobel Marsten,

I write to you in hopes of making something clear, I have nothing to do with the rumors that are circulating that lady Corrine has told me about and that I have heard. I have also treated lady Corrine with out most disdain and in wounded her feelings in our last meeting, this with the purpose of protecting her from further problems that could come from associating with me in otherwise other than strict business or necessity. I bear no ill will to any Marsten for my part, I wish you well and your daughter Corrine. I would say that I do not benefit from making such rumors and gossips, but I can only but hope you read my letter and heed my word of caution, since I am sure you would have never received me in person. I made a promise to Corrine to be her shield shall harm seeks her, please keep this in mind shall the need ever arise, while I am still on hand.

Best Regards

Athelstan Pyke"


With a grin in his face he awaits for the messenger to return to pay him the same amount and be delivered to lady Isobel now let us see who she casted me aside for.

[Athelstan]

Athelstan ponders and thinks hard his next words, the scribe only growing nervous with each step he takes until he finally stops and smiles at the scribes, which seemed to terrify him, but Athelstan simply ignores this "
Get ready, this is the last thing you write tonight"
letting the words sink in, now more for the fun of looking at the horror in the scribes face than anything.

Lord Ferris Longshore,

I write to you out of necessity more than anything, as we really never spoke to each other but frankly an out of necessity. Leifnarr is on his way back to Landhold, taking his men with him, after claiming he was to protect all three of your sons, which all could be heirs. That meeting did not go well, Yoren and Leifnarr cannot see eye to eye, after his insults. This has brought a rift over your two sons and me your bastard, furthermore I killed Roddric, it was no accident, but he drew my blood with ill will and intent in the practice yard and as the law by the Drowned God it was my right to do so and so I did. Now you have only Yoren, that is not only incompetent now with a axe in hand, but he struggles to beat the youngest and greener boys with barely any experience. His only grace is he can read and write, but he also worships another god called R'hollor. You will be another son short before an ironborn sees someone that does not worship the Drowned God command our House, specially if he is also weak. We will give Roddric proper burial and send him to the Drowned God. I paid with my eye for disturbing the greenlanders peace and await your judgement when I return. I bet there would have no problems if Roddric would have killed me instead, and would please you to no end, but the greenlanders are greedy and all they wanted was to meddle in our affairs for they hate us and fears us. Be wary of Leifnarr he started the rivalry and included me as a possible heir, which brought a war between your children, you are already one short for it. Give him my regards when you see him.

Until the Sea Swallows All"


Once done Athelstan offers the man 2 silver stags "
Don't be scared I'm done for the night, it is your last message that you write, be sure to have it sent by raven to Landhold immediately"
giving him food and drink and a farewell, Athelstan retires finally for the day.
