[SPOILER ALERT for Arc 4 of The Wizard, the Witch, and the Wild One]

Behold listeners, for here is one of the long way-shadowed letters, sent from Suvi to her citadel colleagues on the eve of the Battle of Twelvebrooks, and carried forth by a most unusual fleet: liberated demons of wizards' ink. Could its contents be relevant to future episodes. Ah well, only time will tell...

And perhaps, a question burns brightly on the back of your tongue. A question about a second letter, one of, let's say, an even more...intimate nature. Will that letter also be revealed in time? Listener? Yes. But only for our patrons, and only when the time is right. In the meantime, keep an eye out.

For those of us using screen readers or those who might have trouble parsing Suvi's excellent hand, a plain text file is attached below.

I’ve been wondering about letter contents for weeks, yall are the best!!!! 💜💜

Miyaa

You can tell this is handwritten versus a handwritten typeface by how different the capital I’s are.

Lax

they haven’t invented an eraser spell huh

Az Snarkrifice

Y’all are always awesome, but even more when you do thoughtful things like including the plain text for accessibility. Love y’all, and can’t wait to see what happens next!

Renoku

Get his ass 😤 love to see suvi calling his shot!!!

rio

Tera Almond

God, I DESPERATELY hope that she's able to get Sworn on her side I love him so much.

Ashton

UGHHH SO GOOD I like the crossed out words being left legible.

Aviva

Oooh. This is much more personal and philosophical than I expected. I’m looking forward to Sworn’s response even more!

Will Primrose

In- (and I cannot stress this enough) CREDIBLE. That line at the end gave me chills!

TPK_light

That last line felt like a left hook after a very tight hug

Khayroh

boyfriend problems reacquired and no one can tell me otherwise

bloops

I’m not ready for more epistolary execution (dang I’d need a drink too)

The Wizard Seek

The Wizard Squeamish

BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN but yeah id need a drink too after receiving and reading that wow

nk

I hope that events occur in the story that are influenced by this letter.

Merlin

Prime supplementary content endorphins

Auguste Alejandro

I love cursive, but thank god for the plain text version. My eyes were only seeing scribbles.

Smitsel

The fact that she crossed out The Wizard Sky and only signed it as Sky

Josh J Lee

Today I learned I can still read cursive

Caroline

God no wonder he needed a drink after

Amy Colgan

TO WHAT ARE YOU SWORN???????? AHHHH

CaptLizianthus

From ACOFAF to WWWO, Aabria repeatedly proves she knows how to make the most of a letter

CuteDeity

Oh how exciting!!! I Love the question at the end.

Lazarus0024

Is there an audio version where Aabria reads this to us? (If not, can there be?)

Heartly

Seeing this notification headline on my phone? Oh yeah we won. Very very cool perk.

rocket-flash

Aabria is 👏 A 👏 WRITER 👏 Which OF COURSE we already knew but damn the eloquence and thoughtfulness with which Suvi speaks is so piercing! I and image of the letters which was more, idk, prying or ploying but this was so powerful and concise. I love that it mostly reaffirmed Suvi's own feelings and only asked Sworn to reflect on his own beliefs, not for any particular behavior. I have the feeling that this sort of letter will be a lot more effective at reaching his heart than any kind of promise or proposal she could have written.

OH MY GODS

*insert Kermit The Frog lying on the floor*

*puts on my Sworn is a wizlock double agent for Rhuv tinfoil hat*

Rough day at work and I get a patreon notification. Thank you so much!

PLEASE MAKE THIS HAPPEN. 😭

I hope your day continues to improve!

Aviva

😭

Aviva

Thirding!

AABRIA HAS BEEN THROWING UP METAPHORICAL ALLEY-OOPS AND I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE THE SLAM DUNK

Esther

*rubs hands in delight* love the last line! also, would die if Sworn decided to swear himself to Ame (don’t judge me 😆)

A

THAT LAST BIT OMG

JaNay Larsen

That question doesn’t just echo—it opens a portal. “To what exactly are you sworn?” I suspect many a reader now finds themselves on a similar quest through the inner sanctum of their convictions. Brava.

JoelleDFTBA

Or, in the language of my people, *SQUEEEEE*

JoelleDFTBA

It was good mental exercise!

JoelleDFTBA

Good band name, Epistolary Execution

James Jakes

I haven't read another person's cursive in a while. Props for penmanship.

Zack Whitley

Incredible. Incredible letter, incredible cursive. Was this Aabria?

James

Trying not to disturb my napping housemate with the most guttural holler after reading this. godDAMN

Arbor

!!!!!!!!!!

Arbor

i need to lay down

Molly Hebert-Wilson

Good god this is amazing and the screech I scrumpt when I saw the notification that it was one of the letters aaaaaaaaaaahhhhh! Aabria breaking us with the most gorgeous philosophical letters I dieeeee!

Kelp

LOVE to read a letter. Top 10 activities. This is great!

Lux ❤︎

✨thank you✨ for providing an accessible version ❤︎ Now, back to my unholy screeching

MN-UL

Hot

Blazon Glover

At least it’s not directly incriminating in implicating her with his final mission

Nathan Gold

I can't read all these comments, sorry if someone else already asked, but what pen & ink did Aabria use here? Lovely work, I'm stealing the top of that capital F.

Chanelle-Lize

I AM SCREAMING IN THE BREAK ROOM AT MY JOB. Killer comment, killer username. 🫡

Cathie Heyer

THIS. IS. SO. WELL. DONE. This is the kind of thing that shows the depth and emotional investment that is put into these characters and this work. I have no other words but Thank you, and AMAZING

Kris

"To what exactly are you sworn" OMG Mommy Aabria!!!!! Me personally I will swear to you

Oakenguard

I love love love love love this!!!

Kiera Faye

Nothing hits quite like that Bone Cone

Andrés

On reddit I dreamed of the posibility of this letters actually existing and that maybe Brennan read them, but to see it IN PAPER AND INK? Oh my god, beautiful.

beans

Shout out to the plain text attachment.

The Pompous Peasant

The best! You guys are just brilliant and so talented, I hate you all.

Vanessa

Thank you for the oplain text (though Suvi's handwriting is beautiful). And oh, my heart!

Rae Millard

“to What are you sworn?” AHHHH god. Thank you Aabria for my LIFE. You are giving me life thank you so much

Phoenix Vizva’i

Lowkey favorite part (over than the clincher) is reading the crossed out words 💖✍️ so tactile and emotionally real

Tara

You know what you did only giving us Sworn's letter first instead of Silver's. Deliciously cruel.

MN-UL

I feel seen 🙏✨💖

Glen Petrofski

OMG! I could not have imagined this is what was in the letter. It is better!

Glen Petrofski

I also wonder what Suvi would write given that she would know the high likelihood of the letter being found by anyone.

TimeBarista

Excellent stuff. Truly mad respect for Aabria’s writing style. I wish I had been able to attend the talk she gave at McMaster in Hamilton, my alma mater, but I am happy for those who could as we can use many more storytellers who give as much as this whole team does

Barron Botts

Sworn to drink his sorrows away, it seems.

a big rock

Oooooh juicy stuff!!!! "I wish you knew me better too" !!!!!!

Drew Faber

Looooove letter writing in D&D. This adds such gorgeous depth to the storytelling

Aabria Iyengar

To clarify, these are my words but not my handwriting! (I had some doubts about the legibility of my own writing)

kat singer

hey crossing out “letting ‘you’ it go” at the end absolutely broke my heart, aabria holy shit

Celia

Blue ink for the letter delivered by Cyril <3<3<3 excellently written. Looking forward to Silver's devestating letter written in Enzo's black ink

CKirkby

Seconded. Thank you for the plain text.

Castermane

This is so Horner Corner coded. Love it

Wyatt

The edits are such a good touch,

Alexx Panda

She talked at a college????

The Wizard Snoop

On top of all the kind things I want to say about the letter, I want to shout out the great penmanship!

Rebekah

Did it just get hot in here? 👀 🥵

Nathan Gold

Well, whoever did it has a lovely hand. You get credit anyway because I, a former shitty handwriter, BELIEVED you could do it. 😘

Bee

To what exactly are you sworn 👀👀👀

Nathan Gold

God I hate the Patreon comment system, i wasn't done! You (gorgeous fab hilarious Aabria) confided something to me (masked bald trando [a portmanteau I just invented, trans+rando]) at PAX East this year, when I asked you a question about the future of WBN at the cosplay contest. And I still haven't told anyone even though news has been trickling out. But it made me feel really special in a year that has has been terrifying! So thank you - sleep well knowing that your good heart makes a difference in the world. Also, I'm a lucky bastard who has gotten into a (fully-populayed!) game of 7 Part Pact and ima need you to import Suvi into that world as a Sorcerer, thank youuuuuuu

Esther

oh whew, glad i'm not the only one 🤝

Rachel

I need the one to silver.

Gotholi

Is that Aabrias handwriting? Stunning copperplate cursive, I'm deeply jealous (I write more like Task fell into an inkwell)

Seth Tanner

Tangent - this is beautiful handwriting. Is this handwritten, if not what’s the font name?

Liuba M

That picture straight up looks like something you would find in a video game, complete with page tilt and a wooden desk :)

my guy

he’s definitely cracking a bottle after this one

The Wizard Sparrow

Here is the short version of this beautiful letter: You’re my best mate and I thank you for hanging in there with all the crazy shit that has happened over the last month, you have made me a better wizard. Please don’t at me when I head off on my own to undo what I now know is true. -Sky

The Wizard Sparrow

The letter should have ended…P.S. save me a seat at the tavern.

The Wizard Sparrow

I need to hear the inflection of her voice, the pause and retract of her thoughts. Hearing the magnetic words come to life🦊🔥🤗

Queen Motoko

Shoot your shot, I see you lol

MKE2ND

Is it weird to think that wizards had the most insane bullshit doctor cursive? Like suvi is different but I assume most of them got Russian doctor's note writing

Cameron Brown

Eating "To what exactly are you sworn?" for breakfast, lunch, AND dinner

Jules

yeah i'd go for a stiff drink after receiving a letter like that too, sworn

Devon

To what exactly are you Sworn? 🫣 the citadel seems tired and ready for some realignment

Júlia Vincent Rubiolo

Relistening to episode 39, 1h32min, first Ame asks Sworn "what he is loyal to" and next scene, Suvi gives her name to Silver (decision that will kill him later) 😭

K

Agree

Bria A.

Distraught by this, thank you very much for your service.

PT MacKim

I mean, if it’s in his pocket while he’s being framed for an assassination attempt, that’s definitely going to complicate the coverup!

Jill K.

Knowing she could’ve prestidigitated those away, so she left them visible on purpose

Jill K.

So this has got me thinking: of all the people Suvi could’ve written letters to just before the battle, why was Sworn one of them? Because I believe what she writes here is honest; however, it’s also tactical. So why try to preserve Sworn as an ally above all others?

Aviva

Yeeesss. Patron inspired bone cone!

Sean Boyce

Ok. Now pour lemon juice on it. I smell Illusory Script. J/k really fun

thia

heat

JacobHunter

yo this letter rocked me just as hard as the podcast and that reminds me how good these people are at writing in general.

bexcx

this is everything to meeee

The Wizard Seeker

It’s almost giving ACOFAF, in the best way. Erika would have EATEN on that season istg

Chantalleke

She says it in her letter: He was there with her as she went through hell that pas couple of weeks & had to relearn and adjust her views on trust and the world. He's also the only person who hasn't betrayed that trust in any way. So ofcourse she writes him specifically a letter

Aaron Sterne

I think she’s built a deep yet not fully explored connection with Sworn. They haven’t known each other for very long, but they’ve been through some intense shit together, having each other’s back almost the whole way. Suvi realized her decision to turn her back on the citadel put this newfound relationship at risk, and now she’s putting herself out there to see if she can salvage it. Sworn is not only a potentially very powerful ally, but a friend that Suvi deeply cares about.

Zander Jenkins

Thank god there’s a transcript lmao

Juniper Taylor

Who the hell says reticence? Aabria, you’ve done it again.

Xhena Nagins

I’m confused. I thought Silver was her lover?

The Wizard Salsa

Full body chills. Devastating. Everyone say thank you Abria

Karena Barlow

Silver is her lover, Sworn is the Wizard that was helping her on the Meridian. She sent a letter to Silver, Sworn, and Steel.

Spencer Mounts

Public school has failed me as I could read 4/5 of that 😮‍💨

The Wizard Strike

i know my limits. i go straight to the pdf version

Joseph O'Toole

ANOTHER BANGER COURTESY OF AABRIA IYENGAR!!!

J BE

Me and Aabria have almost identical cursive!

Aabria Iyengar

A wizard is known by their secrets, so thank you for keeping ours! 💖 (and AAH 7PP slaps - I just want to be the Faustian again and again)

Carrie Mook Bridgman

No, not to Steel. Just Silver and Sworn. Which was interesting at the time.

Piper

Thank you for the plain text version! I can't read cursive. Not because of the handwriting, I just can only read print
