What do I truly gain from this shadow of an existence? Gold? Tribute? A nice house? I should have these things because I am Vampire. I should have these things because they are mine to have, not because I've bargained away my fangs for them.
These pathetic humans are as mewling infants. I grow tired of my arrangement. Indeed, what does the shepherd gain from dining with his sheep? I fear my impatience will soon overtake my honor and the agreement I've consented to will be dust. I fear still greater that this thought pleases me.
any one notice in todays Lilli article, if you hover your mouse over most the pictures you get the [email]Ricarothma@gmail.com[/email] email appearing?
the new email from the russian address just this time at gmail
I knew it was the right thing to do, I knew it was what Pitre would
have wanted. Beheading is the only way to keep someone from turning,
and there was no way to be sure whether he had been bitten or not.
But now my hands are forever stained, so I have decided to turn them
over to Avacyn.
For these reasons, and many more, I beseech you to admit me to your
humble order. I have no reason to remain here in Gavony.
Your sister in Avacyn,
Jorelda.

You will not understand why I am leaving, which is why I have left in the night, this letter being my only explanation.
The awful truth is that I have not earned the town's accolades. The vampire I killed was just a whelp who I caught unawares while he was feeding on the chickens.
He didn't even see me, and that's how I was able to take his head off with my spade. I do not think he ever knew what happened!
When I took the head to the mayor, I was set on telling him the truth. Once he saw the fangs poking out from the horrid thing's mouth, he started a big fuss, and before I knew it, he dragged me out into the square and announced my supposed victory to all.
I've been caught up in all this mess, and living with the truth has driven me to near madness. I'm going to Erdwald in Nephalia to find a real vampire, and kill it. I cannot live with myself, nor marry you, until I have fulfilled the destiny that has been attributed to me.
I seem to recall a map of Innistrad in the pax pics, but can't find it anymore. any idea what happened to it?

Earlier, somebody had part of an anagram as "ergot," one of the letters mentions witchcraft, and there is a curse. Ergot poisoning (ergotism) is often believed to be the cause of the witch trials in early American history (it causes hallucinations and seizures, and people mistook that for, well, witchcraft). Also, severe ergotism can lead to gangrenous limbs and such, which can be considered a sort of "living zombification" -- that is, dead tissue on a living being.
I just came across the [email]rircarothma@gmail.com[/email] email address which was the ALT tag on the images in today's Innistrad story. From what I can see, looks like Wizards is putting together a diary of entries that will be leaked over time via Twitter, hidden in their articles, etc. Looks like this is all back story to Innistrad.
I haven't been able to go through all 9 plus pages of comments, but did anyone noticed that the tome in the video:
Dearest Lorelei,
It has been a harrowing journey, to be sure. Erdwald is so much bigger than Hanweir! I fear my life has ill prepared me for such a place as this.
I've been relieved of my meager kit by a gang of footpads that greeted me at the town's gates, saying they were "inspectors." They were out of sight before I realized they had fled with all I brought, save the clothes on my back.
Fear not my love! For adversity is the soil in which opportunity sprouts. I have taken in with the church, and they have greeted me with open arms! A priest has given me food and shelter, and only asks me to perform menial tasks in the upkeep of the church yards. It is a job I am all too well suited for!
Yet Avacyn has a plan, even for me! My priest has also been instructing me in the art of vampire hunting. I know it sounds dangerous, and it is, but you can be assured that when I return, you can hold your head up high as we march through the town in our wedding procession!
Yours,

I dont know if any of you have seen barry lyndon (you should), but the whole inspectors gag is totally taken from a scene in that.
Btw are we pulling any card informationn from this because it seems like we clearly could be. Any good arg has content.
2 things in the Pax letters I saw a clue for some cards
5 Times the cleric tells thems to set/do/say Wards that sounds like a cycle to me one for each color like in day of old.
We are also assuming that the order is good but this is horror what if Lorelie has been turned and out of love for petrie/peter doesn't want him turned hence she is leaving Gavony for Stre ( Vamp Land ) She could also be the flip card as well white/ black
Just a thought

Day of days! My training is complete, and now I am on the trail of that most unholy of abominations — Vampire. The one I hunt is clever, there is no doubt. But I have faith on my side! Faith in Avacyn, faith in my training, and above all, faith in the truth that the blessed sleep is nothing compared to living a life with you.

Or Dracula, which was all letters, diary entries and newspaper clippings.
Don't you mean Dracula? Salem's lot was scary and all, but there weren't that many diary entries/newspaper clippings.
BTW, could it be possible to aggregate all the letters into the initiial post?

considering it's written by a vampire I highly doubt it would be in an avacyn scripture, it is much more likely the date, ie; 200 AD
