This isn't really a story, so much as a sort of trial balloon. I'm wondering about the basic viability of the concept. Namely, is the idea 1) so boring that it should never see the light of day, 2) neat as a basic idea, but cut out the "letter" format and the stilted, fake medieval styling in favor of more normal style, or 3) a good idea, stilted fake medieval styling, letter-based format, and all.

Obviously, this has a lot more exposition and less action than the bulk of the story would have. The idea is more to introduce the sort of concept and atmosphere of the story than to go straight into the action.
