This was originally created by Michael Kirkbride and Ted Peterson and posted to the official Bethesda forums on 2002-04-10. Michael Kirkbride took the role of Xal, and Ted Peterson was Gosleigh. Ted Peterson would provide additional commentary about these letters, "Actually, the original plan was for us to do a short story series together as people writing letters back and forth -- that was the concept behind the in-game book The Charwich-Koniinge Letters, but we never got organized enough to pull it off." The post was archived by The Imperial Library.

My Dear Xal,
This will probably be the third of the letters you receive in Port Telvanni when you arrive. I received your letter within hours after sending off a copy of the Scroll, which you'll learn in the first of the letters, was not my initial impulse. It's too early to say what the repercussions will be sending it to you, but I hope it will help. I will be fascinated to hear how the Nerevarine Prophecies play out, as I understand they will, and very soon. I count on you to keeping me informed about that, whatever you hear.
I'm fascinated by your story about Kemel-Re [sic]. Was it a special ceremony you witnessed, a festival, something religious in nature? Is this anything that happens in Vvardenfell as well, or is it a strictly mainland ritual?
On the Ayleids, ah yes. Don't tell me you saw any of them in Morrowind did you? You might look for a series of books I understand are being published there about the last year of the First Era, which feature an encounter with the Ayleids in the middle of the series, maybe book 4 or 5. I would appreciate it if you would give me a copy if you come across it, together with those roots and seeds I mentioned before.
Now I must finish and send this letter off. I am being called to a meeting of the Masters of Artaeum.
Yours,
Gosleigh
