A Brief Statement from the Lord Dock

To begin, I wish to thank the citizens of Freeport for electing me as the first Lord Dock beneath the leadership of His Grace, Lord Admiral Darius Sare. We have gone through much and more in this last year, but I already feel our small community building bonds to outlast any storm or onslaught of obstacles. These next four years, I hope, will see further growth for our portside home.

 

Town Hall, Taxation Office, and more!

Having been left with very little infrastructure in regards to the port itself, the Lord Admiral has requested I begin my work on establishing firstly, a town hall, and then a system of mild taxation so that we might build a proper and healthy treasury to fund regional improvements. Any interested in applying for the role of Steward, please find myself or the Lord Admiral to promote your interest. As of now, it is decided that the old Shipwright Guild will be converted into a proper municipal building which we might operate out of, while a tax office shall be built as some form of extension to our local bank.

 

We've also constructed a ferry between our own port and that of the city Providence, capital of the Holy Orenian Empire. For those wishing to save themselves and their legs, feel free to catch a ride on the very best ship doubloons could buy!

 

Local Business? Say no more!

Within the next saint's year, local entrepreneurs will be approached in regards to promotion for their businesses, by the Lord Dock. If you're interested in putting word of your wares further out in the open, don't be shy!

 

A Condemnation of Witchcraft

The Lord Dock would like to offer a formal condemnation of any witchcraft used to harm the citizenry of Freeport, following the events of the previous saint's day. All townsfolk are asked to NOT antagonize the local seagulls until a further investigation into their behavior is conducted.  We also ask that any suspicious activity be reported to the Lord Admiral Darius, the Lord Code, or the Lord Dock.

 

 

The Missing Bell of Freeport

The Lord Admiral is seeking to locate the lost bell of Freeport, a somewhat-historic relic that was lost at sea by the former leaders of our port. Any desiring to aid in its recovery and restoration are free to form a party and garner assent from His Grace.

Signed,

Her Excellency, Elizabeth 'Bess' Fletcher, Lord Dock of Freeport
