Disilyne sat in his throne room, in a small silver throne with a plushy cushion on the seat. The big, foreboding, black, rock, evil, desecrated throne, on the other hand, was sitting empty and dusty next to him. Thus, Disilyne's silver throne was rather off-center and also small. The very reason he did not sit on the throne that oozed liquid evil was precisely because it was. He did not want to kill himself or go insane from it. Every season, he had exactly one maid dust the throne. Each time, as soon as the dusting was complete the maid went insane and had to be subdued by one feather* of Legion. Often, the maid started speaking of grave and apocalyptic prophesies, but he had the Legion who subdues the maid wear beeswax earplugs to avoid hearing it**.
He sifted through the five beige hemp folders and called for a secretary to send the letters.
They read as thus in a carefully rendered gothic handwriting:

It goes without saying that Disilyne himself did not print a single letter of that paper, and only signed each one. When all five people arrive at the castle, they will be all summoned to the throne room and briefed together.
(Post an action of
how you arrive at the castle. Do you walk in through the gates like a normal, sensible and non-insane person? Do you crash-land on the ceiling somehow and drill your way into the throne-room?)
(I also feel slightly seriously guilty about not picking the others <.<)
*One feather is twelve Legion troops. One wing consists of one thousand feathers. However, for reasons unknown evil overlords tend to avoid fielding whole wings of Legion, mostly due to the logistics involved and also because having too many troops tended to be detrimental to the overall combat ability. Just look at a typical group of Legion fighting a party of heroes: they break off and attack one by one instead of rushing at once.
**For thus the great and probably insane archmage Schrodo said, an unheard prophesy wasn't even made at all.
