seol_plumfallVindicator Aesom,
I write to you on behalf of my daughter, who is being trained in the ways of the Light by the Aldor. I understand that the people of the Exodar are still troubled by blood elves to the north; if you have a shortage of personnel, I would be honored if you would consider my child for an apprenticeship to one of your paladins.
Astrolabe is not yet a hundred, and as her body is still weak, I am not sure how useful she would be as a soldier; however, she has a talent with the Light, and her teachers believe she has potential as a healer. I have enclosed a letter from Anchorite Nindumen regarding her training thus far.
His letter also mentions Astrolabe's mental abnormalities. I assure you that I speak as a scholar and not merely her mother when I tell you that I believe she is a very intelligent child. Astrolabe does have a great deal of trouble with language and does not see the world as you or I do, but her memory is excellent and her insights are keen. I am sure that if you are careful and patient in your explanations, she will understand and perform well for you.
Please consider my request. An apprenticeship on Azeroth would, of course, provide an opportunity for Astrolabe to grow in strength, knowledge, and deeds. But I also fear that Shattrath is no longer a safe place for her, as she is yet innocent and too easily blinded by pity, making her vulnerable to the enemies lying in wait in this city. If one of your subordinates does accept her, she will receive not only an education but also protection from these dangers for a time. Therefore I hope you will consider this petition carefully and fairly.
