Fiction:Tenet/History/14

= A letter from Qazain =

Written by Mamoor, to his mother Anwerta

Salutations! Do not fear for me, I am still well. I hope you are well too.

I am writing this from Qazain, which as you may know was a member of the Refusalist alliance. I say "was" because it is Refusalist no longer. After King Makann destroyed Imyrrha, most of the remaining Refusalists surrendered outright. Have you heard about Imyrrha? It is totally gone, burned to the ground. Nobody is sure how he did it. He rode there alone, and then the place just went up like a torch! Some are saying he called on his angels to destroy the city, but if that is true, I do not understand why he did not do it earlier, to the Da'mir maybe.

Anyways, Qazain is part of the Kingdom of Tenet now, and Aldarra, and Dersut. In fact, the only Refusalist kingdom that hasn't surrendered is Setrapa. Not only have they not surrendered, they actually sent an emissary to the King stating that they refuse to do so. That takes real bravery.

They say they have an angel, too.

My captain says we will be moving on in two weeks, but I do not know how soon this letter will reach you, and I don't know how long it will take for a reply to reach me. I think the best thing to do is write to you again after we take Setrapa. Please give my regards to Father and Taiha. I will be home soon. Do not worry about me.
