+===== Text: =====
+//[[Letter to Deglan|Vandra]]//,
+Think of [[:Hyllspeia#Old Hyllspêia|Old Hyllspêia]] for me. Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and truly imagine the sight of it.
+You likely imagined [[:Rimfrost]] or [[:Branth]], but smaller. They exist as the grandest spectacle of [[:Blainn]] architecture, after all. And maybe you are right, perhaps that is what it looked like, but none of us can truly picture it because there's no present evidence it ever existed.
+All records say it did, both the [[:Tindremic Empire]] and the scholars of //Rimfrost// say that there was once a //Blainn// settlement named //Hyllspêia//, and they mention it quite casually.
+If all can agree it was not a myth, where then did it go?
+That impregnable gate sitting high above [[:Hyllspeia|Hyllspêia]] is not //Blainn// in make, all can recognize it is [[:Huergar|Huérgar]]. It mocks us with its cold, solid presence.
+Have you heard the story of the [[:Third Battle of Nereb Madgulu|Battle of Nereb Madgulu]]? How the fissure-skinned certainly sat by in their heartless [[:Nereb Madgulu|tower of stone and metal]] while we mere humans were allowed to be slaughtered and sullied by the score?
+They are cowards, //Vandra//. The clearest signs of their treacherous nature began at //Rimfrost// and continue to the present.
+What do you think they did to the //Blainn//, //Vandra//? Why is there nothing left? Why does the //Huérgar// gate stand strong while the //Blainn// who once lived here have been wiped from the face of [[:Nave]]?
+I intend to find out.
+//Deglan//
