Xender Pleth died while exploring the island [[Cof|Cof.]] His final note was found next to his body, apparently written in his final hours before being killed by unknown causes, possibly by his own [[Deck of Many Things]]. The text of that letter is below: <blockquote>''"Only 4 islands traversed, so much left unseen, so many things undiscovered. I guess if there's any time to use the deck it's now. After holding these cards in my pocket for over 10 years, they may finally see the light of day...or rather the dark of these tunnels. The consequences that lay in these cards may end my life, or grant me immortality. They may save the day, or break the realm. If what I do tonight changes everything, or kills my soul, I only hope that the Doombringer, or mayhaps future travelers find this tome in my tomb.''
