It's been a while, Kaindal.

How have you been? Things have only gotten worse here since you left.

We sowed new seeds, but fewer than half of them sprouted. Even those seedlings are withering now.

I don't know what to do. We don't have any grain stored.

I often think that I should have gone with you when you left. Well, it's too late for regrets now.

They say you settled in a place called Ishalgen, is that right? I've never heard of such a place. I can't even guess where it is.

But I am sure that it must be better than here, for a wanderer like you to settle down there.

Does it have much farmland? Are the locals kind? With it being so difficult to scratch out a living here, I often find myself contemplating Ishalgen....

I'd like to know more about the place. At least I know it couldn't be worse than here.

I'll be waiting for your reply.
