My Dear Friend,
If you're reading this, it means you've found the chest I mentioned in my previous letter. You'll be pleased to know its contents belong to you.
After I spoke with the emperor regarding additional resources to aid in your quest, he was willing to part with these items from his personal collection. The armor from Dol Blathanna is a rare piece that marries the strengths of Nilfgaardian and elven craftsmanship. Apparently, Francesca accepted Emhyr's offer of Nilfgaardian plate for her forces. Though, despite his attempt to significantly bolster an ally on the fringes of the Northern Realms, only a portion of his aid ever reached its destination. To no one's great surprise, the elves were unimpressed with what human steel they did receive and thus refashioned the armor to their liking. You'll finally have the opportunity to masquerade as the Queen of Dol Blathanna's personal guard. It's a dream I know you speak of often.
As for the second set of armor, the emperor proved far more cryptic. He claims they were diplomatic gifts from distant kingdoms. The tiger armor is specifically designed to suit a western ruler – obviously Emhyr in this case. It was forged in the ancient style of a blacksmith who stole the secrets of its construction from their gods... Or so the legend goes.
And finally, the swords (to my eye they resemble a Redanian saber, though I'm no expert). These blades supposedly once belonged to a hero of myth and mystery. The man forged a pact with a vixen spirit and, through her blessing, was granted the ability to slay the monsters that had long plagued his village. As you can see, he carried both a steel and silver sword – a fact I thought might pique your interest.
Unfortunately, legends are all I can offer. Emhyr was stingy with the details – even more so than usual. It's a shame because I must admit I haven't the faintest idea where they might originate. That being said, I do believe Zerrikania and Ofier can be ruled out.
Dear friend, I trust you appreciate my efforts to help. Use these gifts as you see fit. I hope they will hasten your search for that which we have lost.
Your friend, Yennefer
