The King Of The Moon 4958 Share Posted January 15, 2022 [!] Letters are sent to the great leaders of Men across the continent of Almaris, whilst additional copies would be circulated to nondescript traders and caravans throughout the realm. Respectively, each would read: To His High Holiness, the Pontiff; @Pureimp10 To His Imperial Majesty, the Emperor of Oren; @Nectorist To His Majesty, the King of Haense; @Xarkly To His Highness, the Prince of Savoy; @Publius To His Lordship, the Lord of Du Loc @Shorsand Finally, after decades of experimentation beggining with my late uncle - the Marquis of Izvoroshu - the alchemists of my princely court have produced an elixir of righteous purpose. Unique and unrivalled by the tonics of any wiseman or healer, we have successfully synthesised a medicine capable of curing vampirism. Able to restore an afflicted creature back to their mortal state, freed from the taint of Iblees' parasitic ways. A feat achieved without sponsorship nor support from those beyond our small realm, the value of the work we have done for the betterment of all of mankind and the potential it holds to stamp out the vampire plagues of the recent years is not lost on us. Therefore, respecting my Principality's historic neutrality toward all other realms, the recipe shall be offered via auction. Starting at the bid of 3,000 minae, the highest bidder shall be given exclusive insight into the recipe for this cure, to administer throughout their respective domain as they see fit. The auction shall proceed for 24 Saint's Hours following the arrival of these letters, and bids shall be circulated consistently to all who have been outbid to ensure fair competition. Please note that this is an open auction, and will not be restricted to the addressees of this letter. Signed,Lothar II of House Coțofana, Prince of Comoară, Duke of Freeport in Abeyance [!] An amendment was soon after submitted to the bidders: This auction shall be restricted to liquid currency only. No material asset or deed to land will be accepted as a valid bid. [!] A second amendment was made public by the auctioneers thereafter: In response to concerns that this recipe may be some form of hoax, His Highness has taken the liberty of providing a copy of the recipe to those interested in purchasing in, so as to showcase the potential of their transaction:Saltwater (Base) Aether - Purity x3 Aether - Clarity x4 Blood (of the vampire's initial descendant race) x1 count PLEASE NOTE this is simply a copy of the recipe, and not the original recipe itself which is of intrinsically far higher value. Copying this recipe does not equate ownership of it, and will be punished as theft in the microstate of Comoară. True ownership of the recipe will be accredited in a catalogue of alchemists kept by the Prince himself, known as the 'Brew Chain'.

Xarkly 12489 Share Posted January 15, 2022 The Kongzem of Haense bids 3,001 mina. It doesn't put the bid in so fast as to draw attention or make people wonder where they're trying to buy it first. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remarks Thomas Andrew Helvets, Duke of Cathalon. Does that count as a bet? The Kongzem inquires. It proceeds to offer two bolts and two golden blades if affirmative. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronin_champloo 5950 Share Posted January 15, 2022 "Wh-Why are you spending Minas on a parchment?" The man uttered as he peered towards Marchosias. The Nephilim soon turned the man, before stating such. "It's a Non-Fungible Recipe. It contains the rights to the single tiny recipe in Almaris, I used basic funds to get it, so we can turn it into a profit later! It doesn't do anything, but it'll be worth billions in the future -- to investors, that is." Afterwards, he turned to bid 13,000 minas on the cure! 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
