House Veltharis Seeks the Worthy

[Ferd0207 214]

 

^{The missive is inscribed upon a sheet of fine vellum, the quality of which is immediately evident in its rich, smooth texture. Each edge is precisely cut, giving it an air of refinement, with a subtle, embossed border hinting at prestige. At the top of the page, the sigil of House Veltharis is displayed—a shield split in two, one side black and the other white, bearing a fierce double-headed eagle with wings outstretched. Beneath this emblem, a red banner carries the words "Aut Vincere, Aut Mori" in the elegant script of High Imperial. The ink used is a deep black, with each stroke flowing smoothly across the vellum, hinting at the controlled and deliberate nature of its author. This missive has been posted throughout the human kingdoms of Aevos, pinned at the gates of castles, in the bustling squares of cities, and even along the roadsides of rural towns, ensuring that it finds its way to warriors, mercenaries, and ambitious souls across the Continent.}

To those of Courage and Ambition,

 

By the hand of Master Balthier Veltharis, this message is sent to men and women of exceptional skill, to those who seek not merely to fill their pockets with coin, but to carve their names into the annals of history. If thou art a warrior of proven mettle, skilled in the arts of combat, and resolute in both strength and discipline, I bid thee to read on. For I seek not mere mercenaries, but those with the heart and mind to stand in the service of a House on the cusp of greatness.

 

The times are perilous, and I, Balthier Veltharis, have learned this harsh truth through the bite of steel and the smolder of treachery. My estates have thrice been struck by thieves and attackers—villains who sought to undo the House of Veltharis before its ascent. I have weathered these assaults, and yet the need for vigilant defenders has grown more dire. Therefore, I call upon warriors of true resolve to rise to this cause.

 

The House of Veltharis seeks men of strength, of cunning, and of loyalty. Warriors swift of blade and sharp of mind, who understand that the strength of one’s arm must be matched by the wit to foresee danger. In return, I offer not mere gold, but a place at my side as we build something far greater than wealth alone. The payment for thy service shall be generous, and in time, should loyalty be proven and honor kept, those rewards shall grow richer still. But know this—what I offer transcends coin: it is the promise of legacy, the chance to serve a house that shall rise beyond its current station and make its mark upon all Mundus.

 

 

If thou art skilled in arms, if thou art a soldier of fortune seeking more than the fleeting rewards of battle, then the House of Veltharis calls to thee. Bring thy strength, thy loyalty, and thy ambition. Present thyself at Wittenbach Way 2, in the Free City of Chambery, or send word by Aviary, and thy name shall be given due consideration. Those who enter my service shall not only defend, but partake in a future that promises dominion and distinction.

 

 

 

SIGNED BY MINE OWN HAND,
