CROPS, DOWRIES, AND GROOMS FOR MY DAUGHTER ALSO VALID FORMS OF PAYMENT. REACH OTRYGG FOR INQUIRIES." — SAVOY NOTICE BOARD, 1839. _____________________________________________________ YELLOWED notices decorate and festoon girdered, cork notice boards and other such placards in all four corners of the realms of Man: ORENIA, HANSETI, SAVOY, AND FREEPORT. Ebon glyphs span the missives, the occasional etching blanched by a nigh dried splatter and varnish of phlegm, and mucus — a testament to the writer's malaise. The occasional scrivener appeared in the tide, splintered, calloused digits girding a hammer to prop up the notices: the fleeting courier only then retiring from the fief which they trekked, dispersing. Vermeil seals brand the bottom of each such bill. One, splaying here and yonder with the fast-thrashing wind, reads: "THE scriveners of the bounty of DOBROV are pleased to impart new word that the LORD VLADISLAV CARRION, seeks arrangements of scholarly companionship, to aide in his positively prodigious academic endeavors. He treks the realms of Man for like-minded, and more importantly, highbrow individuals to further the academia of Man with himself. HE has expressed the specific wish for those well-versed in the feat of alchemy, to accompany himself in, verbatim: 'SERVING AS THE SCHOLARLY SUCCORS OF OUR DAY.' THE scriveners of the house of CARRION are liable to interject, and add that the fast-tolling age of the lord has put him in a condition of unsoundness, both of the form and the mind. Hence, the house of CARRION requests any attendants of this proposed arrangement be interdicted, or quarantined, for a bountiful three days, before trekking for the lord, or returning air-borne bills, writs, and missives. HE wishes, however his very conspicuous allure and charisma, that onlookers kept non-platonic stirrings at bay, in their scholastic toiling with the lord. He seeks only platonic, scholarly arrangements. A bespoke portrait spans the other side of this notice. AND he shall be at all seasons to perform in this matter. We pray the Exalted keep you in holy governance. The scriveners of the house of CARRION hereby set their seals. _____________________________________________________ Hephaestus#8435 on Discord.
