Private A Matter of Houses

[Alexi di Garthos]

To Count Evandro Wenelle of Pavia,

It has come to my attention that you presently reside among your esteemed kin, and that despite the misfortunes that have befallen your sector, you continue to uphold the dignity of your title with grace.

Ralltiiri values resilience. It also values candor between those of noble blood.

Should your affairs permit, I would extend an invitation for you to visit my Estate as an honored guest. I would be pleased to receive you for a private luncheon within the gardens, that we might speak openly of our respective Houses, of the burdens we bear, and of the futures we intend to shape.

It is my belief that understanding begins not with treaties, but with conversation. You would be afforded all courtesies befitting your station.

I await your reply.

Alexi di Garthos,

Matriarch of House Di Garthos and Presiding Head of the High Council of Ralltiiri.

Matriarch Alexi di Garthos ,
Head of the High Council of Ralltiiri—

Thank you for your message.

You’re right. Resilience keeps our Houses alive when luck turns against us. If anyone still remembers Pavia, it’s because we never gave up the name. We only lost the land, not our purpose.

Your invitation isn’t just a kindness to me. It honors what’s left of House Wenelle, and I’m grateful for that.

I accept your offer for luncheon among your gardens. I look forward to speaking openly with someone who knows what it means to carry responsibility.

House Wenelle has seen hard times, but we haven’t set aside our duties—or our ambitions.

I look forward to our meeting.

Evandro Wenelle
Count of Pavia

Count Evandro Wenelle of Pavia,

Your words honor both your House and mine. Land may be lost, but purpose endures where resolve remains. It speaks well of House Wenelle that you understand this distinction.

The gardens are prepared for guests who appreciate more than ornament. They were cultivated with patience; much like legacy. I believe you will find them a fitting place for candid conversation.

Resilience and ambition are not mutually exclusive. In fact, I find they often walk hand in hand. I look forward to hearing how House Wenelle intends to see it's future realized.

You will be received at midday on the third day of this week. My steward will ensure your arrival is met with proper courtesy.

Until then.

Alexi di Garthos

Matriarch of House di Garthos and Presiding Head of the High Council of Ralltiiri
