Grati'ahernan; servus; - W.D.M, the Pinecone Inn and Tavern. And it was thusly sealed with a violet wax seal, image of a Pinecone pressed upon.

Ibn Khaldun 7728 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Gaisorix happens upon one of the many parchments on his travels either raiding or ferrying trade wagons across central Almaris. He knew no Pinecone Inn from memory, though perhaps he had passed it without inspection on one of his many routes. He ran a few fingers through his beard, deliberating on how he might go about responding and decided to tack on another smaller parchment underneath the notice. His response read: Where might I find this Pinecone Tavern so that I may know it is safe enough to visit and consult further? My tribesmen may be able to procure tea and honey-mead for your tavern at a fair price. - Gaisorix hal'Daelduron 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Ah, curse it," she murmured to the empty road, and leaned forward to tack on yet another reply. "What, we'll be raided again? Might get a drink out of it, anyhow-" One may visit the Pinecone Tavern in Ephesius at the Northernmost corner of Orenia, in the former Pale of Aldemar. Bird one Wynanya Daemyar prior to visit to assure entry. [This note has been torn away.] Edited December 23, 2021 by critter Ephesius location torn off.

He decided to pen another reply on a fresh parchment and tucked it once more beneath the short series of correspondence. Unfortunately, the Cinged cannot engage in any transactions with you at this time. We are contracted with one of the nations engaged in war with Oren and on our honor, I will not use this as an opportunity to attack Ephesius as you are but a tavern owner looking to stock your inventories. When the war subsides and both belligerents agree to peace, I may visit to inquire on your needs at that given time. God watch over you o' Wynanya, Sidos en ju. - Gaisorix hal'Daelduron Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The name, Gaisorix hal'Daelduron of Cinged ("- what in Nyrheim are the Sin-jed?" she murmured to herself, brows furrowed at the unfamiliar jumble of letterings) was jotted down in a heavy ledger - and a note, if after war. Then, without further ado, she tore off the posting foolishly containing not only her vale but her name - well, most of it - and rode swiftly East.
