Note found at Winterblade Fine Leathers

Pa,

I’m not cut out to make armor. I’m sorry, but I hate everything about it! I hate skinning the stags and sabre cats and bears, I hate the stink of making the leather, and I hate the stitching and studding. I know you wanted me to carry on the family tradition, but I just can’t do it anymore. It’s time for me to follow my own dream. I took my own gold and I’ve set out to learn magic like I always wanted. I’m going to join the Mages Guild, and you can’t stop me. I’ll send money for you and Ma as soon as I get on my feet. You’ll see; I’ll make you proud even if I do hate making armor!
