Your Excellency Zushaxx,
I pen this urgent missive to you in a time of great darkness and despair. Waterdeep, our glorious city, has fallen to the insidious grip of a relentless zombie horde. The once bustling streets now echo with the moans of the undead, and the once vibrant markets stand abandoned, consumed by the encroaching darkness.
I write to you not only to inform you of this dire turn of events but also to issue a solemn warning: Skullport, your realm, may be the next target of this relentless menace. The undead swarm that has overrun Waterdeep shows no signs of receding, and it is with heavy heart and great concern that I fear the horde may now turn its attention to your subterranean domain.
The fall of Waterdeep was swift and unexpected. We fought valiantly, with our city guard standing as a bulwark against the relentless tide of rotting monstrosities. But their numbers were overwhelming, their hunger insatiable. We were forced to retreat to the inner sanctums of our city, leaving the outer districts to the mercy of the undead.
Our resources are dwindling, and the city guard, though brave and unwavering, is stretched to its limits. Our people, once hopeful and united, now face the harsh reality of this encroaching nightmare. We are in desperate need of aid and reinforcements, for the survival of Waterdeep hangs in the balance.
I implore you, Zushaxx, to take heed of the warning I convey. Strengthen your defenses, fortify Skullport, and prepare your people for the onslaught that may befall you. The zombie horde knows no bounds and respects no boundaries. It devours all in its path, showing no mercy or remorse.
I understand the independent nature of Skullport, but in these times of crisis, I beseech you to consider a united front against this common enemy. Together, we can marshal our forces, combine our knowledge, and stand against the encroaching darkness that threatens to swallow our realms.
I trust in your leadership and the resilience of the people of Skullport. Let us not succumb to fear or despair but rally our strength, unite our resources, and face this nightmare head-on. The survival of our realms depends upon our solidarity and unwavering determination.
May the gods watch over us and guide us through this darkness. I eagerly await your response and pray that it carries tidings of hope and a shared commitment to our common defense.
Yours in desperate times,
Laeral Silverhand
Ruler of Waterdeep
