Greetings Elmertonians,
It is I Bosephus Blackgate. There are a few things that you all most know. First off, neither those loyal to me nor I are cannibals- nor will we ever be. We find it to be the ultimate affront to the very essence of life. I cannot, however, say the same for those members of my family who have sided with Rebby Sky.
As some of you may know we have been in an almost constant war with them for months now. My numbers are quickly being depleted and we are on the verge of losing this war. I 
cannot state strongly enough how horrible this will be for all of you if we fall. Not only will it never be safe to travel around Elmerton again, there is another more horrible part to this: Rebby Sky is attempting to become the Shadow Queen and has been gathering a multitude of shadow shards to ensure her place on the throne. Not only that, but some shadows have sided with her and we have reason to believe that she has been breeding or somehow “experimenting” with shadows. Some of the cannibals we have come across resemble the traits of our family but there is something very different about them. Low voices almost in a whisper and a body that is so much darker than ours. They also possess some abilities that are not human. They still engage in cannibalism and are even more dangerous than ever before.
Please, Elmerton, we need your help. For the future of my people and for the future of your own please help!
Thank you for any help you can provide,
Bosephus Blackgate
