Vladimir's Guarantee

The House of Zalesky was first mentioned in ancient chronicles of the times when Tensess and Nezeb were fighting against Orcs over these lands.

There were ups and downs. We were rich and poor. The Night of Astral Portals hit us especially hard. Our lands were in the part of Kania which is now overtaken by Astral.

That's when my grandfather sold the family heirloom to the Elves of the House de Desirae to make ends meet. I've always dreamt to have it back and recently I've asked Margaret de Desirae to give it to me. The Lady of Tenebra agreed to satisfy my request, but she never had a chance...

I don't know what happened on Tenebra. Judging by what Margaret de Desirae wrote in her letter, she didn't know, either. One thing is certain. The heirloom is in the castle of the Elves now called the Darkblood Citadel.

Please bring it back to me and then you'll have my guarantee.

In old good times you could be granted a title of nobility without money and protection.

Only for your deeds.

You've done a great deed.

Now I trust you with my life and can stake my life and honor for you.
