It is the 6th Day of the Garland Moon, Imperial Year 1186.

The war in Fódlan has come to an end. The Adrestian Empire, the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus, and the Leicester Alliance have set aside their differences and are working to create a peaceful future for all of Fódlan.

On this day, however, you receive a letter. The parchment—you detect—is charmed, the roll sealed with black wax. You recognize that seal. After all, how could you ever forget about the debt you owe to House Vestra?

Will you open the letter?

Trusted Informant,The war is not over. In fact, it has only just begun. Fódlan may have reached a peaceful resolution on its surface, but our true enemies await us yet, lurking in the shadows of the earth like a nest of serpents. Those Who Slither in the Dark have kept their eyes on Fodlan for millennia—and soon, they will strike.I regret to admit that we know little about Those Who Slither in the Dark. A small amount of familiarity with their members and their magic, yes, but it not enough to win this war.
I write to you now with a humble plea: Help us to gather whatever information we can on Those Who Slither in the Dark.Not only for Her Majesty’s sake, but for the future of all of Fódlan.HvV
