Dear Reader,
I am addressing you again through another editorial of the Quill because a scroll was left today at my desk… a scroll of an unknown source that I below quote:

«The last dragon egg of the Royal line has been moved to Duhallow…
We have dragons we do not know "visiting" the area. Why are they here? Do they intend to settle?
We have poison gas concentrated in Duhallow, now…
We have the Royal Family travelling home unexpectedly… I wander why that is…?
Lord Nax of the Dragons, a minister, has disappeared. What is this all about?
Is the Holy Grail still safe? Where is the Royal Egg?
Lost Gate?»

I must confess I am startled by the message… Is it threat? Or is it a warning?
We urge you all, Fayandrians, to pay attention to every sign and hint, be also aware of strangers… Be very careful and walk only through the pathways and do not travel alone…
The key to solve these mysteries may lie in the simplest things and answers… We need to overcome these ordeals…

With all the good wishes.

Dilah Halostar and Trav Wachter exchanged vows yesterday evening. It was a beautiful celebration of Love that gathered the closest friends of the merry couple.
We, at the Duhallow Quill, wish all the happiness for both Dilah and Trav on their marriage; we hope they are the ones from the story that said - Happily Ever After…

«Love feels no burden, thinks nothing of
trouble, attempts what is above its
strength, pleads no excuse of
impossibility
It is therefore able to undertake all
things.»
