Your Excellency

My name is Joquin Tanamai and I hope you will not find me too forward by making this request, but I write to humbly ask permission to join your renowned group of adventurers.

I make this request because I feel that to join your company would be to fulfil my life's goal, or at least stop that goal from being rendered truly impossible forever.  But I seem to have gotten ahead of myself, and while paper may not be 2 gold pieces per sheet as it once was, in the interest of not forcing to good folk in the paper mills to cut down more reeds I feel I best now go back and explain what I mean rather than scrunching this up and starting anew.

To give you background as to that goal then; when I was a young man training in the remote monasteries of Aberdeen, as place I believe you yourself hail from, I learnt to pay real close attention to the goings on of the world, and I noticed things that few others care to spot.  I'm not just talking about insect, though I do pay much more attention to those little blessings than most folk, but I'm talking about the larvae of the gods.

I know, as a holy man, you find that a strange thing for me to talk about, but in the interest of the reeds that were sacrificed to make this letter possible please read on.  There are tiny gods all around us, I see them everywhere I look and we talk to each other throughout every day.  I know this sounds strange but I'm not the only one, I know there's some folk living in your very town who see them too, though I must say they have funny ways of expressing their insight.

What I learned, though meditating and praying and learning to see the little things no one tends to look at is that our world isn't all that different to the heavens.  It's just a heaven that hasn't grown up yet. While the heavens are worlds governed by compassion, our world isn't governed by anything.  Good and compassion (and evil too) only exist where thinking creatures like ourselves make them exist and the gods that live amongst us know nothing of these ideals - our world is governed by the blind instincts of tiny gods too numerous to count, but it needn't be that way.

It's thinking creatures like us halfings and tengu who bring good into the world, and its creatures like us who can teach our tiny gods right from wrong.  And if enough of our gods learn they might one day work together to grow into one of those big mighty gods like your good patron Boffred, and when they do our world'll become a heaven and all of those who deserve it will become it's citizens.  We live in a world of blind chance, but we can make it a world of good intention.

So I've spent my life, for what its been worth, communicating with these young gods and teaching them the ways of morality.  It may take more than my lifetime for anything to come of this work, but if I don't start now it'll be more than the lifetime of my children too, should I ever be blessed with such gifts.

And that's what brings me to apply for admission to The Great Downwards Engineering Company, because if we can turn out world into a heaven by teaching our gods whats right, we can also turn it into a hell by teaching them what's wrong, and it saddens me to think that there's a whole lot of wrong being taught right now and that one of the big evil gods may be dragging himself up here now to give the most spiteful lesson of all.

I know you fight these things, where few others do, and I know you've done well in your battles against these things.  I also heard you were short on divine spellcasters and frontline combat folk who attack lots of times per round, so for all these reasons I'd like to join your company - the last couple of adventurers I teamed up with weren't what I'd call good souls like you.

I understand that you'll probably be down fighting demons when this letter reaches you, so I'll be enjoying the hospitality of the good folk of your town until you get back and will be waiting for you in the Planar Anchor.

Looking forward to making your acquaintance and joining your company if you feel I'd be a worthy addition.

Faithfully

Joquin Tanamai
Mentor of the Many
