Davood,
I thank you for your kind words. Within your unshakable faith, you have always had the touch of a true diplomat, and have avoided the veiled condescension intrinsic within the others. I am sure that you will be successful navigating the rigors of the Auren, and will manifest yourself as true leader in the midst of this impending war.
I mourned our grandfather with my own silent procession. He is well known and respected among The Forming, I have made sure of that. Our counsel oft summons his aura of intention. He was probably the one remaining soul who recognized a varied hierarchy of truth even as he escaped into the narrow drab horizon. He was a conflicted soul, incomprehensible and unpredictable as the Daneod brushfires.
As I am sure that you know Lucien has embarked upon Isle of the Durlakai at the request of our late grandfather. I knew something like this would come about, even if I didn't wish it. He always carried mantle of the warrior poet, an ominous and ill fated quality within the progression of The Way. As we speak, he is consecrating his own destruction, drowning out the song that gave him form out of nothingness.
As the newly appointed patriarch of Abora, I would ask that you appeal that he reconsider his suicide. I am aware of his desire to transcend this realm of injustice, an event that the Durlakai are ever so eager to facilitate (a bit suspiciously). But these methods are surely self defeating. How can the cherry be savored if the blossom is plucked off of the branch, left to wither in a pile of its own decomposition?
I will be summoning our cousin myself very soon. I feel that my words were too harsh in our correspondence before, and I would declare myself a fool if I let our mixed journey end with such sour honey on my tongue. In the meantime, I hope that you consider my request.
Your cousin and friend,
Lam

Dude, great post.
I really like that you decided to write about events as well as philosophy.
I don't know if Brenden told you but this all started with a role playing game he and I have. I really like Lam and the Forming, and can't wait to see what you create for them.
A couple things I thought you might like to know. The Arbora are floating rain-forests in a world covered by the sea. It also refers to the people who live there. The Auren are one of the tribes that make up the Arbora people.
There's a lot that hasn't been decided. Feel free to add/create/extrapolate as you have been. Play off of others is great for the story. I will definitely incorporate everything into the game.
In that vein, I'll reply shortly with a post of my own.
