Bob's Letters

A lot of talk has been about Bob. I then remembered that Bob had some letters he wrote to Nilrem so I checked Them out...
Dear Nilrem,

The letter I enclose to you has been sealed with concealment magicks. I trust you to know how to read it.

My war against the creature is futile. Intel has reached me from a trusted source. Our world is far smaller than we could have imagined, our magick feeble in comparison to what i am about to explain.

There are realms beyond our comprehension, powers we can not hope to defeat. Two immense forces are at war, with our plain of existence being the battleground. There is a dark creature of the night in a land "far" away, it poses a threat to all.

I give you this letter as a warning and a farewell, friend. I am going to challenge the beast and attempt to seal it away using my own life force, for I know that is all i can do, killing it is not a option.

You know of the magic i have infused in my animal companions, I trust you to hide them until one worthy is able to wield my might. The world can not know of my sacrifice, no one must search for me. You must fake my death, and create a body for them to bury.

The fight will continue, but at least the new recruits will have a fighting chance for the years to come. I wish you luck, Nilrem, continue to train the forces of good, you are the most skilled man than I have ever known.

Yours faithfully, Robert.

P.s. I have enclosed the item of power you were seeking.

Notes:
Nilrem is Merlin backwards
The note is a reference to Corrupter of Worlds

I know that this might have nothing to do with anything but... (Nothing in nothing out?)

 

It's not the CoW, As Robert has to travel to a far away land to fight it.

 

The creature is a creature from Dern, first participant of the war, the battleground is Wynn and the other participant is Gavel or maybe Fruma since we don't know much about it except it's the region where we come from.

 

The first part of the letter was on gateway island (fantastic voyage) which means it might be in Dern because the place you go in that quest (probably) leads to Dern

Definetley Gavel because it's between light and dark

 

Anything to do with the Egg underneath Selchar? Or the Dead Island quest? Dead Island quest mentions Bob bringing an Egg from Dern, it hatching into a dragon, and him slaying it.

 

Pretty sure its about the beast on dead island

 

This may or may not reference something. The Dernic beast Bob is believed to have sealed away may either be revealed/play a part in the quest, or be completely unrelated (like the old ??? likely is. Come on, guys. It's way too simple and they want it to be a month to even be started).

This may or may not hold relevance later, but considering we haven't even started (and this likely holds no relevance to the quest start), we cannot make use of it just yet... But we should keep this for future reference as there is a chance it may be in the quest considering we know absolutely nothing about the whole thing...

 

The beast is the Eye just for heads up.
