A MISSIVE WOULD BE PINNED ACROSS THE LARGER SETTLEMENTS OF AEVOS To connoisseurs of fine war-metals and seekers of battlefield supremacy, I, Elanoreth of Haelun'or, present to you a rare and invaluable offering: a masterfully refined piece of Azhl, the metal of myths and decisive victories. Starting at a mere 900 minae, this is your chance to secure a material renowned across the realms for its extraordinary properties. Let this be your weapon of choice in the trials of steel and blood. Azhl is no ordinary metal; it is a blighted marvel, celebrated for its unparalleled fusion of durability and tactical lethality. Comparable in strength to Ferrum, its true power lies in the unique malady it bestows upon its victims. When struck by Azhl weaponry, foes falter under the creeping weight of Azhl Anemia, their reflexes dulled, their movements slowed—each step a struggle, each retreat a dream fading into despair. Whether you hunt the swift or defend against the relentless, Azhl turns the tides of battle to your favor. Such a prize will not linger long. Place your bid within the next two Elven days by letter or visit me personally in Haelun'or. Watch as the competition for this artifact unfolds, for I shall announce each new bid to ensure fairness in this noble pursuit. Take heed, seekers of glory: Azhl is a treasure for those with the wisdom to wield it and the ambition to claim it. Do not let this opportunity pass you by. This fine ingot awaits its master—will it be you?

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, WITTENBACH WAY 2, FREE CITY DE CHAMBERY
