The unseen agent behind the disappearing-text letters delivered by Polder to Drogon at Warehouse 17. Whoever or whatever they are, they:
- Send the letters through the Canal District Municipal Messenger Service couriers — every visible irregularity so far has happened to a courier of theirs.
- The text on the letters vanishes the next morning. Seris’s ledger pages have the same magic.
- Have been coercing or compelling Drogon for some time. He says he doesn’t know what’s happening either; in Session 32 he told Seris they only need to do one more shipment for a mysterious man before they’re free.
- Cause memory weirdness in their couriers — Polder enters a flat-eyed trance when carrying their letters and wakes up mid-route (e.g., on Saddler’s Row Bridge — see Session 34).
Identity TBD
Whether the Letter Maker is one person, a faction, or something else entirely is unknown.
How the party knows
In Session 36, Drogon confronted Adrik at gunpoint with the question:
“Who sent you? The assembly? Vaughn? Or the letter maker?”
That’s the first time anyone in the party heard the Letter Maker named as a possible adversary. Cisco immediately posed as the Letter Maker to bluff Drogon — Drogon was supposed to be following instructions but is no longer needed. Drogon refused to fold, fired the crossbow, and the fight broke out.
In the campaign
- Session 32 — first hint, via Drogon telling Seris about the “mysterious man” and one final shipment.
- Session 34 — Adrik tailed Polder and saw the trance / awakening pattern, implicating someone using the courier service for memory-weird letters.
- Session 35 — Adrik vetted Polder over an ale and confirmed the docket / trance behavior is reproducible.
- Session 36 — first time the Letter Maker was named (by Drogon). Cisco impersonated them.
