A letter, found on the desk of @ariah in the estate of the Kotas family in Midas. This note is found next to Ariah's body and is written an the messy and sketchy hand of someone perhaps nervous and unaccustomed to the high class art of writing.
My name is Ariah of Leiale. I am a woman of no home and of no love. I offered my loyalty to the House of Kotas and they have betrayed me. I have been nothing but a pawn in their hidden games. My lover, Prince Zanon, seduced me into poisoning his brother, the heir apparent, Prince Vangelis. It is to my greatest shame that I committed this sin. I cannot live with myself for turning against my new country and the family that I wished to call my home. I offer my life in exchange for forgiveness from those of this world, even if my suicide will condemn me in the eyes of the Gods in the next.
Please forgive my cruelty and my treason.
I hope that my last words of truth will see to the world being able to heal from my mistakes.
