Dearest Daughter,
Your Father and I are glad to hear that you are safe, it is good that you have a protector. Your father did some checking around and Armion is a premier assassin. He was sent to Skyrim to take care of a person that has not yet arrived, if need be. Take care because their are things from your fathers past that are just now coming to a head. The rest of the family is in danger also. Learn as much as you can, but do not come home until we say that it is safe to do so.
Love, Your Mother
Dearest D.
You are not going to guess what your sister E did! You don't have to worry about the Inquisitor wanting to marry you any longer, cause she went and got engaged to him. Yup, the little huzzy. He did say that he would keep your protector in place, for her. Father talked to him and asked the Inquisitor to let him know if he changed his mind as he would send a family retainer to guard you.
In other news, Father won't let any of us out of the house without a guard. Seems something that happened during the Great War is now biting us all in the back side. It wouldn't be so bad except it isn't the "enemy" that is after us, but rather some of our own people. Father would not elaborate on what, just that he would not tolerate cruelty and injustice.
I was just starting to see a nice boy that had moved in down the block, from a well known family. Father said that right now was not a good time for someone to start courting, but I meet him anyway. The Library is a nice open public place and it's not like my guard isn't there also, so I think I am safe enough.

Dama,
I know that the Inquisitor wasn't your cup of tea, but I have always admired him. So with you out of the picture and I know you wouldn't care anyway. I have been visiting with him since you left and he finally asked me if I would consent to marry him, of course I said yes. I know you won't mind in the least, but if you were here and did, well then you would be marrying him.
A. is going to get herself in hot water with father, she is sneaking out to met some boy or the other, even after father said not to. She doesn't see the harm in it, mostly because I am seeing the Inquisitor, she even said as much. Of course the difference is Father said he isn't the danger and might be one of the few safety nets that we have. The boy she is seeing is from a new family to the area and Father is having them checked out to make sure he isn't the enemy we are being guarded from.
All your other sister's send their love and we all wish you were here. You could always talk father into letting you know what was happening.
Love you always, E.
Damayanti,
I am quiet sure that your sister has written to let you know that I am marrying her. I know it might seem that I transferred my affections rather quickly, but in truth I think I was drawn to you as a moth is to a flame. I see the love for me in your sister's eyes, with you I was never sure you even considered me a friend. I hope so, as I consider you a good friend.
I do not know if your father is letting you know of the danger you are in or the exact nature of it. Since I have arranged for Armion to stay with you and I would need to let him know where the danger is coming from, I will let you know.
A very prominent Altmer family from one of the provinces sent a son to war. Not very unusual as most families sent one or two children off during the Great War. This boy, however, had a cruel streak and took his ire out on captives. Now, I am not saying that no captive was ever harmed by any other officer in the Dominion, but he would do very unspeakable things to family members while making the others watch. Your father had him written up and he was both demoted and humiliated. His Mother, who could not stand the shame it took her own life.
As you can probably guess, he was rather upset about it all and vowed to get revenge on your Father. I am trying to track him down and get any information on him. The problem is he sold all the family's assets when he inherited the estate 30-some years ago and was already living under an assumed name.
Either let Armion read this letter or tell him what is happening. Stay safe.
Inquisitor Prailiean
After reading the letters from home I handed them to Armion. The grim set to his mouth only tightened more, when he read the Inquisitor's letter. He looked at me and told me to learn quickly as we might have to leave soon if I wanted to stay alive. As I have no intentions of dying anytime soon, I will do that. There are things I need to do, before we leave, but I will get them done as quickly as I can.
