Some time ago, I received a letter from Mr. Dorian Abraham. The letter mentioned that a representative from the Abraham family would be coming to Tingen to discuss a specific request. The Abrahams are an ancient noble family, but not one that is overly influential like other older dynasties. One can only wonder why. No matter, today was finally the day of their arrival. Right when I was about to go to bed, Dorian Abraham himself entered my room. Not through the door, though. It is similar to my apprentice powers as well. 
After confirming each other's identity, we had a friendly discussion. Dorian told me about a curse that plagues the family and that he wants my assistance. Somehow he even knows I work with the Nighthawks as well. I do not even know how he figured that out. I confirmed that whatever aid I have to provide will not go against the ctiy or the Church. I cannot betray my responsibilities after all.

And what did I receive in return for this promise of aid? The answers concerning how to advance along the apprentice pathway.
