To the residents of Northreach (for you are indeed my friends and family), I beg your forgiveness for my silence in these past weeks. These have been difficult times for all, and I have been struggling with grief and confusion alongside all those affected by the recent events. I hope now you will afford me a few moments of your time and allow me to offer my apologies and listen to the words that follow. I invite you home. Sincerely and in the deepest affection, The Duke Duhnen Seamel
