SUMMARY:
The team went off to Brandel's Reach at the behest of Revered Mother Grana to investigate strange markings in sea caves that required documentation, as well as to locate a Chantry brother gone missing who had been looking into this previously. Whilst recording the markings, they discovered markings, almost like glyphs that pointed to them being unlike any other language, close to a code in need of deciphering. They also managed to discover the source of rumours of shapes in the water as well as a storm that had claimed a fishing boat.

A very young cetus was the source of the rumours and the missing Chantry brother.

REPORT:
Ambassador Amsel,

We arrived at Brandel's Reach with little incident with señor de Fonce taking charge of the translation of the markings with utmost dedication. It was during the recording of these markings that we realised we were being observed by a very young cetus, usually not found in waters so far south nor in such cold waters; ultimately, this cetus despite its size is where Brother Ewald met his end.

Señor de Fonce too was attacked by said cetus and we were forced to take action to stop the same fate befalling him, I don't know if that will ease Revered Mother Grana's concerns at all but it should ease those who reported the loss of a fishing boat to a storm as well as strange sightings in the water; now that it's known and dealt with, the likelihood of it happening again is low. A cetus is a rare sighting at the best of times, with the rifts, and the sea life affected by red lyrium anything could have driven it there. Or it might well have been whatever those letters were, Señor de Fonce may know more, I believe he and his friends spoke while we were on the mission of them being unlike anything else ever found thus far. They've been attached too, for translation or...something else. I don't know who to pass those on to.

Helena found a ring on a finger belonging to the cetus after it was dealt with that upon our return to the Revered Mother, was confirmed to belong to Brother Ewald. Enclosed with this are letters of support at finding this attached proof.

Signed,
Araceli Bonaventura y Castell, Val de Foncé, Korrin Ataash, Helena
