In a quaint alterations boutique tucked away on a cobblestone street, the atmosphere hums with the gentle sound of needle meeting fabric. The air is thick with the scent of aged wood and the faint aroma of freshly brewed tea, wafting from a small pot simmering in the corner. At the heart of the shop, bathed in the warm glow of flickering candlelight, sits the master tailor. With weathered hands and keen eyes, he meticulously stitches together a masterpiece, his needle dancing gracefully through the fabric like a conductor directing an orchestra. The tailor's workbench is a testament to his craft, strewn with spools of thread in a myriad of colours, golden thimbles, and delicate pins arranged in precise patterns. Behind him, shelves sag under the weight of bolts of luxurious fabrics—velvets, silks, and brocades—all waiting to be transformed into garments fit for nobility. As the daylight fades, casting long shadows across the room, the tailor's concentration remains unbroken. Each stitch is a labour of love, a testament to centuries of tradition and skill passed down through generations. With every tug of the thread, he breathes life into his creation, weaving together threads of history and artistry to fashion a garment worthy of the ages. Outside, the world carries on with its hustle and bustle, but within the boutique's walls, time seems to stand still. Here, in this sanctuary of craftsmanship, the art of hand-sewing reigns supreme, preserving the beauty and elegance of a bygone era for generations yet to come. Miss Naya B. is hereby commended for her diligent upholding of duty and stalwart heart in the face of adversity and personal crisis. As a continued protector of Kaethul, she is awarded a small token of appreciation. - A handcrafted Mastercraft (Outfit - Skin) [Bought from Teeylin] Signed, Yera Silveira, Overlord of Kaethul, Master of the Hidden Tower, Magister of Hohkmat

The salty sea breeze whipped through the air as the massive cargo ship creaked and groaned against the dock. The sky above was painted in hues of pink and orange as the sun dipped low on the horizon, casting long shadows across the bustling port. On the deck of the ship, a group of burly sailors, their muscles rippling beneath sweat-soaked shirts, worked in unison to unload the precious cargo. Each man was clad in worn leather boots and weather-beaten trousers, their faces grimy with the residue of hard work and determination. The cargo, wooden crates stamped with the emblem of a blacksmith's hammer encircled by roots, held within them the coveted Daemonsteel ingots. The metal, known for its otherworldly properties and incredible strength, glinted in the fading light as the sailors carefully hoisted the crates onto the dock. With grunts of exertion, they heaved the crates onto their broad shoulders, beads of sweat glistening on their brows as they navigated the gangplank onto solid ground. The weight of the ingots was immense, but the sailors worked with practiced efficiency, their movements synchronized as they transferred the crates from ship to shore. As the last of the crates was lowered onto the dock, the sailors wiped their brows and exchanged satisfied nods. The shipment of Daemonsteel ingots had arrived safely, ready to be transported to forges and workshops across the land, where skilled artisans would craft them into weapons and armor of unparalleled quality. With a sense of accomplishment, the sailors stepped back, their work done for the day. The sun dipped below the horizon, casting the port into shadow as the sounds of the bustling harbor filled the air. And amidst it all, the glint of Daemonsteel shone bright, a reminder of the strength and resilience of those who worked the seas.

Yera brushes some of the ash off of her outfit, lips pursing as she sighs. "So many good books unsalvageable..."

Commerce City-State of Kaethul “I, Yera Silveira, as a pure Mali’thill whose roots are planted in Haelun'or but who's branches have long since outgrown it, officially state my claim of Kaethul and intention to rule it as a Commerce City State. Diverse and multiracial, acceptant of differing cultures and non-hostile ideologies. United by true progress in all aspects of life without forsaking one's morals. The Commerce City State of Kaethul shall be run as a meritocracy beneath my leadership, with fifty percent of all taxes being divided up amongst the influential Nobility who have staked their claim through contribution or contribution of their forefathers. Kaethul, that's name stems from the elven words for self and raw or not yet refined, stands to inspire and guide others towards perpetual growth. In wealth, magic, strength, power, mind and heart. “ OOC Description The commerce city-state of Kaethul is an up and coming merchant city forged entirely through roleplay and through event lines to get to this point. There has been no ooc collusion, no former groups pulling together to form something a half-baked concept, instead it has all been driven by the characters coming together. A big emphasis is put upon merchant roleplay and nobility, with power, wealth and knowledge being treated as valuable commodities. Shops are entirely free, but at in high demand, whilst houses are kept at the cost of a single days worth of voting (23 Minas). Pre-Aevos History “The following is written by the surviving current Matriarch of the Silveira clan. This is a piecing together of my family's history, from accounts written by them, however, great portions are missing or were so damaged that I have had to fill in the blanks from vague mentions and excerpts.” (OOC: Mostly backstory history!) Aevos History (OOC: The following events are written based on roleplay that happened! They will continued to be added to, but are written in a biased manner.) Contracts & Treaties: The following contracts and treaties are not all publicly available. They are put here solely for individuals involved in the contracts to keep track of everything that has been agreed upon.

CLICK HERE FOR LAWS Noble Ettiquette Welcome to this guide on proper etiquette for nobility. As a member of the aristocracy, it is important to conduct oneself with grace, dignity, and respect. Understanding the intricate social customs and etiquette of the time will ensure that you navigate society effortlessly and establish a positive reputation. Mastery of noble etiquette will help you navigate the intricate social landscape of your time. By adhering to what you are taught, you will impress others with your decorum and charm. Remember, true nobility goes beyond titles and wealth—it lies in your ability to treat others with respect and dignity. May this guide serve as a valuable resource in shaping your noble behavior and enhancing your place in society. Let's delve into the principles and practices that will guide your noble behaviour. Royal Family of Kaethul Physical Appearance The Silveira family typically has either incredibly pale blonde or light red hair. Said traits having been passed down within their family for generations. Their skin is pale and fair, with no recorded muddying of lineages. Their frames tend to carry muscle better than most, perhaps due to a wish to preserve strength in all its forms within the bloodline. Royal Family of Kaethul’s Philosophy “A wandering dragon cannot ignore a local snake.” The Silveira family dedicates much of their existence towards two things. The first of which is their craft, which any practicing artisan of the family prides themself upon. The second of which is the protection of their people. Long since time immemorial, the Silveira family have considered themselves protectors of the Mali’thill, acting openly or in secret to accomplish said goal. They have never been afraid to act brazenly like a dragon, or covertly like a snake, when protecting their kin from threats. However, due to the decimation of the family and many of its branches, it relies on the current generation to decide whether this remains true. What has been proven and is embodied by the current Overlord of Kaethul, and something she respects greatly, is that friends are to be treated generously and with great boon, and enemies are to cease existing with maximum discrimination, politically or otherwise. 1. Courtly Behaviour: 2. Dress and Appearance: 3. Dining and Banqueting: 4. Social Conduct: Unofficial Rule: Plague Those that are constantly unhappy, unlucky or miserable are viciously sick. They are, for all intents and purposes, the plague. They should be avoided at all costs. Emotional states are infectious and being around them only spurs on your own demise. Associate with the fortunate, optimistic and happy instead. 5. Cultural and Religious Customs: Unofficial Rule: Actions not arguments Even thinking you've won an argument is a pyrrhic victory at best, resentment is long lasting and swallows any momentary change in ones way of thinking. Rather, one should seek to have others agree through one's actions instead without saying a thing. Demonstrate you are right. Court Protocol Additional ettiquette Dress Code; Subtleties: In the delicate dance of courtly life, where whispers carry and silence speaks volumes, the fan, attire and other such things become an exquisite instrument of coded communication. Master its language, and you shall weave secrets in the air, flirtations on a breeze, and silent commands with a flick of the wrist. Being able to communicate subtly to another is not just a way of secret communication. It's a game, a dance, a way of keeping others guessing - were you flirting with them? Are you angry? Designs; Designs, patterns and colours are perhaps a little more intricate than given credit. Not everyone will design their outfit around a message nor can necessarily afford to. Floral Patterns: Each flower has a meaning, from roses (love) to lilies (purity). One should consider what each flower signifies to them. Fan/Clothing/Accessory Embroidery: Hidden messages can be woven into fabric Clothing/Fan/Accessory Materials: Unofficial Rule: Hide Keep others from knowing your intentions or reasons for acting, for if they have no clue what you are up to then they can't possibly prepare to defend themselves. You should seek to guide them to false conclusions, incorrect assumptions and strike whilst they're befuddled. Fan Shape Sentiments: Unofficial Rule: Limelight People are judged by their appearance and what goes unseen counts for next to nothing. One should not allow themselves to become lost in the crowd. Instead, stand out at all costs. Make yourself a magnet of attention by appearing larger than life, mysterious or more colourful than any of those around you. Fan/Sword Handle Materials The material in which a ceremonial sword or fan consists of, or other such focal points of a nobles outfit, depicts a certain theme or warning about an individual. Likewise it can convey a certain message when handed to the individual as a gift. Such as an admiring quality about them. Unofficial Rule: Home Advantage Force your target to come to you to take control. When your target comes to you, it forces them to abandon their plans. Whether you lure them with temptations or not, you hold the cards. Location Location: North West of Haelun'or (1624, 4, 2864) --> Right near the soul stone for Haelun'or

KAETHUL’S CONSTITUTION As written by Athri'annyer (Whatasithuation) Every individual is entitled to certain inherent rights and freedoms, including but not limited to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness so long as it does not infringe on others well-being. All citizens and visitors are granted equality before the law, regardless of race, gender, religion, or other characteristics. On Soulless Constructs and Cursed Children: For a construct to become a citizen they must register their creator's name with the Overlord or a High Lord to be filed incase of issue. Cursed Children must go through a darkspawn test with the Overlord or a High Lord so it may be documented to avoid misunderstandings with foreign nations. The effort to receive this documentation should be made by the Cursed Child, lest they be under the age of eighteen. State Licenses and Permits: A permit or state license costs 100 mina’s, or 1 Golden Ducat (10 Silver Ducats) to acquire and will require an interview. One can obtain a permit through sending a letter to the Overlord, or a High Lord. To sell or give anything that is addictive by nature or has the power to create a dependency must be prescribed by someone with a Doctor's License. To make or sell anything that is addictive by nature, poisonous or has the power to create a dependency requires an Alchemists Permit. Practicing Magic or Alchemy that can alter the state of a being's appearance requires an Alteration Permit. To cash in Sentinel bounties at the tavern bounty board, or to actively hunt within Kaethul’s territory for foreign bounties requires a Bounty License. In special cases a Temporary Bounty License can be provided, such as in the case of a paladin order making a request to hunt a specific darkspawn in a politically tense situation. Soulless Constructs may go through an interview and critical thinking test to obtain a Construct permit where they act as their own entity and are responsible for their own behavior in regards to the law system rather than their creators. To actively defend someone in the court of law requires a Law License. Of Legal Age: The legal age for purchase or consumption of alcohol, tobacco, recreational drugs, and casino chip products rests at the age of 18 for all races. Children who break the law are treated on a case by case basis and always require a trial with their guardians' attendance should they have one. Duels: Should a disagreement between two parties transcend desire of payment with both parties agreement a duel can be held. Each duel’s rules may be different so long as they are agreed upon by both parties. A formal contract is signed and archived and then the duel must take place within one saints or elven week. Failure to arrive at said duel after the contract has been signed will result in a greater fine. Both parties must be of legal age to participate in a duel. Arrest Procedure: The Continuum of Force is used to apprehend the suspect where they are arrested and placed within a cell. Stated victims and witnesses should be interviewed and their account should be written down. The suspect then should be interviewed afterwards on their account. Should the victim wish to press charges, then the suspect can either pay bail to clear said charges, or be temporarily banished until a state trial may be held. Warrants: Search and entry warrants may be granted by the Overlord, High Justicar, High Arbiter, Royal Arbiters, and Justicar. State Trials: Both parties are granted unbiased lawyers disconnected to the event in question to present their parties' case and may choose to work with Kaethul’s Sentinels or independent hired investigators to gather more information, or evidence. Should the Overlord not be present to oversee a trial as judge, they may appoint one outside of the conflict, well educated on matters of Kaethul law with a history of just behavior to stand in their place. Should the suspect not show for their designated trial date and time, they shall be considered guilty and added an additional fine onto their banishment. The Aqueducts This area is too large to actively be patrolled by Sentinels rendering a lawless portion of the land. Travel through at your own risk. The aqueducts exist to filter fresh water for the city, providing clean drinking water through an advanced plant based and enchantment additive filtration system, and equally provide controlled mineral rich irrigation to Kaethul Farmland. CRIME AND BAIL Crimes are generally graded into three categories: felonies, misdemeanours and infractions. Often the criminal intent element affects a crime’s grading INFRACTIONS: Infractions are the least serious crimes and include minor offenses. Infractions are generally punishable by a fine or alternative sentencing of community service. MISDEMEANOURS: Misdemeanours are less serious than felonies, either because the intent requirement is of a lower level or because the result is less extreme. They are punishable by a fine, or alternative sentencing like probation, rehabilitation, or community service, or military service etc. FELONIES: Felonies are the most serious crimes. They are either supported by a heinous intent, like the intent to kill, or accompanied by an extremely serious result, such as loss of life, grievous injury, or destruction of property. Depending on the jurisdiction and the crime, the sentence could be execution, banishment, a fine, or alternative sentencing such as probation, rehabilitation, and home confinement. Potential consequences of a felony conviction also include the inability to own a weapon, or even participate in certain careers. Minas to Ducat Conversion: 100 Minas or 2 Golden Ducats (20 Silver Ducats) Bail can be denied depending on the severity and situation of the crimes by the Overlord, High Justicar, High Arbiter, Royal Arbiters and Justicar.

Most changes I'm fine with; I would like to see an edit of the PK clause though.

I'm down for that too. (Removing Tawkins PK clause)

Revise Tawkins PK clause if possible please. Balances out the heavy nerf applied through these changes.

Yera frowns as she reads the proclamation. "Hm. That's a shame. I've never heard of this place, but it's always sad to see families lose their homes." She hums in thought. "If there are any actively ambitious or promising nobles there I'll have to consider supporting their former titles and providing them new lands if they come to Kaethul."

Kaethul Notice #3: Rogue Mercenaries Shedding light on the unfortunate events that occurred an Elven/Saints day prior. The neutral territory, Commerce City State of Kaethul, came under attack from bandits. My dear friend and steward, Ar-Malna paid five hundred Minas for the safe return of an individual visiting Kaethul - out of kindness and compassion, when used as a hostage against her. After a thorough investigation, and opening diplomatic channels with Veletz. The culprits of this attack were discovered to be very loosely related mercenaries acting completely of their own volition and without knowledge of Haelun'or or Kaethuls neutrality. Veletz has thoroughly disciplined these mercenaries and paid every mina back of the five hundred- without hesitation. Kaethul maintains it's neutrality, and will receive refugees from any affected nation, providing food, shelter and work for those that need it. GUILDS & ADVENTURERS The Commerce City of Kaethul is searching for guilds, groups of adventurers, coalitions of merchants, ship crews, orders of righteous paladins and more to fill its bountiful docks, its vast guildhalls, secretive hidden chambers and more! Space enough for dozens of members, at only fifty minas a week ((OOC: that’s almost 2 days of voting for one person)). Are you strong? Physically able or magically powerful? Willing to fight but also lead? Kaethul is searching for Royal Arbiters. Individuals who will be allowed to own a fort at the same cost as a normal house, providing space for numerous retainers to fight for the neutrality of the Commerce City-State.

"Lady Ar-malna, steward of Kaethul, is praised for her willingness to pay for the life of an individual within the neutral commerce territory of Kaethul. Diplomatic channels were immediately opened with Veletz, who have returned every mina of the ransom money, on behalf of a 'satellite group', loosely entangled and uninformed of Haelun'or and the Commerce City of Kaethul's neutral status in the war." Signed Yera Silveira, Overlord of Kaethul

Overlord Yera Silveira looked upon the news with mixed emotions. She read it a few times as she came to grips with her own feelings on the matter before deciding to just be happy for Ilya. "Some matters of life will just have to be lived vicariously."

Kaethul #2: Peace and Coin The Commerce City State of Kaethul accepts the minas provided by Haelun'or as reparations for the unfortunate events that occurred an Elven week ago where an individual was struck with uncontrollable flashbacks and attacked both a citizen of Kaethul and a foreign member of Amathine (who have negotiated their own reparations with Haelun'or on behalf of their citizen). I, Yera Silveira, Overlord of the Commerce City of Kaethul hereby pledge one hundred Minas to the affected Lady Aveline within my care who received injury from this event, and four hundred Minas to be divided amongst the key contributors of Kaethul, in addition to half the taxes of our nation. (Percentage of tax pool taken depends on weekly contribution/influence)

Crimson Commerce Pact Commerce City-State of Kaethul & the Iron Horde of Krugmar 14th of the Grand Harvest SA 161 Article I; I) Kaethul hereby grants permission to an assigned and curated plot of land, that will act as moderated sovereign soil. Any number of merchant vendors can be setup within this assigned space subject to Krugmar moderation and rent. Moderated Sovereign soil; is where the area is governed by both Krugmar Law and Kaethul law, with the latter taking precedence within contradictions. Law breakers will be treated in accordance with said offended laws in the Kaethul Justice system according to available law house precedent. Citizens of Krugmar that break Kaethul law will be kept and confined to their Moderated Sovereign soil until such a point that they are summoned for trial, sentencing and to progress through the Kaethul Justice system, or Krugmar requests their extradition for punishment within their homeland. Should the citizen leave this Moderated Sovereign soil before receiving their sentence, the nation of Krugmar may declare the citizen's citizenship/titles revoked, or pay a [minor infraction fee] (See below in Article VI). At minimum the space provided is; 6m~ x 20m~ + (6x20~ Basement). II) Kaethul provides Krugmar a shipment of Copper Ore on the date of 14th Grand Havest, SA 161 ((31/12/2023)). III) Kaethul will sell resources to Krugmar at prices conducive with their ‘Grand Comparison’ average, best price or lower (with bulk discounts). Article II; I) Kaethul citizens with identification will not be harmed by Krugmar. Krugmar citizens with identification will not be harmed by Kaethul. Article III; I) The nation of Krugmar will support, legitimise and acknowledge the lawfulness of signed contracts written in Kaethul and by documented officials/nobles/aristocrats of Kaethul. In the event of enforcement being necessary, the Nation of Krugmar will work with the Nation of Kaethul; allowing entrance with armed forces to apprehend contract breakers, or arresting contract breakers and turning them over accordingly. In assisting the nation of Kaethul in carrying out the terms of a contract, any fines the contract breaker incurs will grant Krugmar with a 20% cut. If a contractor breaks a contract worth 2k and Krugmar apprehends and forces them to pay up, Krugmar receives 400 Minas. Article IV; I) Both Nations will engage in a Nonaggression Pact with one another. Neither nation will provide soldiers/troops/manpower in a war/raid against the other nation’s land. E.g. If a raid or attack occurs specifically on their tile, don’t get involved. Fighting a field battle where both nations are on either side of a war that’s not their own does not count. Article V; I) Faith and Friendship; Krugmar and Kaethul will engage in the spirit of good faith, whereupon reasonable deals will be offered to respective parties in time of need. Equally, if members of either nation are caught on the road by respective raiding parties, and identify themselves, reasonable efforts should be made to let them go unless they cause deliberate offence. For example, Kaethul will provide discounts on resources, or seek to provide needed resources at least partially in exchange for other goods. For example, Krugmar will provide troops for free if Kaethul is threatened, offensive action requiring contract(s)/fees/negotiations. For example, raiders come across a group of Balians conversing with a Wood Elf merchant. They swiftly dispatch the Balians and turn to the Wood Elf, who declares herself a member of Kaethul! After a quick interrogation to ensure the truthfulness, they send her on her way, knowing that the other party will be grateful (and possibly reward the act). Papers/tokens are required for identification as part of a specific nation. Article VI; I) End Clause; this contract ends when both nations agree and sign for it's dissolution. Alternatively, if only one party wishes for the end of such an agreement, the respective party can pay the opposing party two thousand minas (+1% interest to counter inflation per annum after signing), this constitutes a Major infraction. Minor infraction; A minor infraction is 5% of the price of the major infraction, paid to the ‘victim’/other party within this contract. Death of Nation Leader or Step-down; When one of the Nation Leaders steps down or dies the contract will be considered null unless renewed. This will not incur an infraction.

I, Yera Silveira, as a pure Mali’thill whose roots are planted in Haelun'or but who's branches have long since outgrown it, officially state my claim of Kaethul and intention to rule it as a Commerce City State. Diverse and multiracial, acceptant of differing cultures and non-hostile ideologies. United by true progress in all aspects of life without forsaking one's morals. The Commerce City State of Kaethul shall be run as a meritocracy beneath my leadership, with fifty percent of all taxes being divided up amongst the influential Nobility who have staked their claim through contribution or contribution of their forefathers. Kaethul, that's name stems from the elven words for self and raw or not yet refined, stands to inspire and guide others towards perpetual growth. In wealth, magic, strength, power, mind and heart. Free Shops & 30 Mina(p/Y) Houses We have opened up our newest residential district, Kaethul Village, with a multitude of large (cottagecore) properties, available at thirty Minas per annum. Behind our market street which sees Tax and Rent free shops available to entrepreneurial independent Merchants. Embassies & Nation Shops We have four large properties available in the heart of Kaethul, providing a massive potential revenue stream for Influential nations. (6x20~ Main Space + 6x20~ Basement) An Embassy/Nation Shop will act as a moderated sovereign ground for a Nation. Citizens who break the law will be confined to their respective embassies as opposed to cells, throughout the investigation, whilst also allowing a Nation to charge their own representative merchants rent or grant them free use of the shops to bring more minas into their own economy. Control of said embassy and it's purpose being left entirely up to it. Req; (~Rough Requirements) - Contracts made in Kaethul, signed by both parties not under duress, are acknowledged as legally binding by your nation. - 1 Person(s) Citizenship Door Access (Plus additional access in a 1:1 ratio with your respective nation). Rights, respect and lawful leeway granted to Nobility with an equivalency established. (E.g. High Lord is equivalent to a Duke, Lord is equivalent to a Baron/Count). Appointments I hereby name Athri'annyer Tinuviel, High Lord of Kaethul, and subsequently his direct blood relatives noble Pedigree, with hereditary succession. I grant Athri'annyer Tinuviel the position of High Justicier of Kaethul’s Sentinels. So that this State might know peace. Charged with the duty of upholding justice and law. I hereby name Naith Loa’chil, High Lady of Kaethul, and subsequently her direct blood relatives noble Pedigree, with hereditary succession. I grant Naith Loa’chil the position of High Chancellor of Research in honour of their continued work to create an institution of true progress. For so long as they continue to educate the citizens of Kaethul and its neighbours. I hereby name Ar-malna, Lady of Kaethul, a non-hereditary honorary title. I grant Ar-malna the position of High Steward, overseeing administration of this Commerce state and tending to the needs of it's people. Royal Arbiters Answering directly to the Overlord of Kaethul, We are looking for five individuals to take the position of Royal Arbiter. They are expected to follow the letter of the law exactly, to protect the State's interests and the Overlord. Granted power and prestige equivalent to a Lord or Lady of the realm, access to all areas of the Palace and allowed to provide counsel and advice in matters of the state within official meetings without noble representation. A Royal Arbiter is not beholden to the High Justiciers command, however, the High Justicier can have a Royal Arbiter placed under house (palace) arrest with sufficient evidence presented to the Overlord directly following this event. A Royal Arbiter is expected to not lord their position over that of the Sentinels, and should only assist, instead of taking over a situation already handled by a uniformed member of the Sentinels. A Royal Arbiter's primary job is fighting threats. Without combat ability, one cannot maintain this position. Combat ability pertains to any competent use of Alchemy, Magic, Martial Arts, Physical Ability or Holy Arts in the act of fighting. The Royal Arbiters shall be a team of five. Their position is hereditary provided they create an heir capable and willing to accept their mantle. Perks such as land, prestige, minas, and otherwise shall be provided. Location: North West of Haelun'or (1624, 4, 2864) --> Right near the soul stone for Haelun'or

(Sorry about the formatting, I'm at work. This is a private response to Amathine!) Dear Lord-Commander of the Okartennallar Ava Ranaleth, Second Matriarch of the Ranaleth, Cleric of Moon & Stars, Beacon of the New-era Ranaleth, Reader of Cosmos, The True Celia'norian, The Horned, The Royarch’s Voice & Fist. Aratir Of The Crown, I have sought talks with the Maheral of Haelun'or, in order to seek hefty reparations prior to your missive that I received immediately before responding, on behalf of both your dearly cared for Thana Ranaleth, Aveline; an individual who was caught up in his wantant abuse of high grade war magic and almost died from her wounds and someone who I have taken care of in place of her mother for almost a decade, as practically a surrogate daughter and finally the state of Kaethul who's trust has been violated in the conducting of this act. I would seek to talk in one Elven day, preferably before my scheduled meeting with the Maheral who has so far been unresponsive to my missives, though I will be available for the following three Elven days as well. I can only be pleased and thankful that to my knowledge Thana was not seriously hurt, and assure you that the people of Kaethul, even it's non combatant merchants, will continue to do their best to maintain a modicum of safety for any descendent regardless of mundane race or culture. Even those Haelun'or forsakes. I hope to speak with you in person, Overlord Yera Silveira of the Commerce State of Kaethul

I hereby pay forth three hundred minas for the safe return of Baron Anatoliy Godunov from Haense as their benefactor; after the baron, his people and his queen were captured and held within Veletzian homelands. Whilst I have no part in this war officially, it is still perfectly reasonable for one not to so freely allow captives leave at my behest, and thus I am grateful. Thanks is given for their healthy and hearty condition, Sincerely, Yera Silveira, Overlord of Kaethul, Lady-Magister of Hohkmat https://gyazo.com/d5b53d958d551a3c866b35777bf14ec2 @Caedis
