(talk of Yola and a letter written in the language goes here)

Very interesting, charra. I hadn't seen a sample that long before, and in 
prose, no less. Completely indecipherable at first, aside from Vourneen, but 
with the translation, I could figure most of it out. Very interesting 
indeed. Now imagine, if you will, a world where, for one reason or another, 
the English annexation didn't proceed, and Yola somehow managed to survive 
until the present day. One wonders how it would have changed.

An cham,

Íosac
