Cat’s out of the bag, and into the fire. Forgive the mixed metaphor, I am certain by now you will have heard:
They require binding. They become as spirits. What this makes them — for the interim — I confess I am not clear. I’ve never heard of a spirit coalescing this sort of mortal form. Idea, and flesh, and lyrium entwined?
Dreams, as ever. I can only thank you for the notes, and offer my own small update: There is a Rifted dwarf now, the first I have seen. It perhaps bears examination.
Shivana is due some rest, the boy looks dead on his feet. I agree it best to involve him when he is recovered; I am told that his contributions to understanding the nature of this illness were key. A light touch may be necessary — I am given to believe he is devout.

I require a few days to reorient myself with affairs. Perhaps Sundermount, after? I’ve no notion whether the Estate is presently inhabitable, and there are some matters I’d sooner not commit to spell or page. We might discuss this in greater detail then.
An aside: Amsel has taken up the project in my absence. I've no reason to doubt her skill or integrity, but perhaps, her discretion. Mail you wish read privately may yet find me at private address. — C
