Belak's Note

Durnn,

Send your emissaries to my grove 2 weeks before midsummer to receive the white fruit, and two weeks after midsummer to receive the red. Make sure you distribute the seeds of the fruit far and wide in the land – that is your goal, Gulthias demands it.

To continue to receive your payment, send me 3 workers every month. Do not expect them to return. In addition, once again send me a virginal female at each solstice. I appreciate that finding one may be difficult – I suggest you keep her away from the males after maturity, to guarantee her purity.

I have deciphered the code for the Fortress’ platform. “Fire” in draconic (“Ixen”) will summon the platform and take you to the surface, and back. I suggest you take that route to and from the surface in future.
