(( OP is also Original Post(er) ))

(( I got in, to Hammer's dismay as he was dismembered by a squid... Also check the OP it kinda tells you where...))

(( I ended having to wander around until I quite literally ran into, my face still hurts somewhat. There are people out here, a few gobs and a few hopefuls, yet to see the mages but I've been here while they're offline ))

A letter arrives on the desk of the High Treasurer, Patrick Denims, addressed from Myoni. Dear Serrah, It has come to my attention that you sold my bookstore to an officer of the White Rose. I simply wish to alert you to the previous purchase and current usage of said property. Ser Charles Greymane purchased the Bookstore from Lord Throdo Theirving four Elven days past, and donated it to my cause. The day that you and this White Rose soldier visited my store to purchase it, I was in the process of creating the signs, and scribing books, which as I'm sure you know is a long process. I deeply regret that confusion came to past but I have to question the reason of this man's purchase of my store. Recently he attempted to extort goods from me, and when I denied him, he threatened me with violence and insulted my virtue by naming me a *****. I ask that you destroy his record of purchase, what you do with his payment is of your concern but I would not chastise you for keeping it in exchange for his deception. If you do not believe my words in the matter you have no more than to speak with Lord Throdo, Ser Charles, or Ser Uthor about my claim to the property of this bookstore. I also request the name of this individual for the reporting of his violence and criminal behavior in my store. Sincerely, Myoni Hartsdottir Another letter, arrives to the desk of Ser Borric, from no other than everyone's beloved keeper of books. Serrah; I would love more than anything on this green earth to name these villains who besiege me. Alas, they spare their tongues of names when in my presence, one however I am certain of, Adeon. The other I will know of most soon from the High Treasurer as he made the foolish mistake of mentioning his false purchase of my store. I hope these villains are strapped and whipped for their transgressions against the people of Oren. Sincerely, Myoni Hartsdottir

A young woman, dressed in a dirtied silk tunic of foreign cut and colors, sat outside on the gate's doorstep... awaiting a mage or someone to hear her plea or allow her inside. She was covered in frost from the cold winds and snow that howled across the mountains the Keep saddled between. She rocked there from the chill of her indignant encampment of the Guild's gates. A tiny flame flickers in her hand, and small book pouch rests against the bars of the gate, overflowing with leather-bound bibles, ink vials and quills. She's pale from sickness or nature. The Goblins tease her from the gate, though they are in arms reach she never reaches to inflict her frustrations or angers upon them, she simply sits, waiting to be heard... As the sunsets on her second day in front of the castle, she departs, still rather consumed with her pension to enter from the tension that was in her shoulders. Night passes uneventfully, however as daybreaks, any who walks the castle discover fresh footprints leading in from the balcony that connects the Novitate, leading into the Atrium, where she is discovered once more, unconscious curled into the corner around a dirty mug from the bar. Her determination is amendable, but is her trespass too great? (( And yes I was able to climb into the castle. ))

The Knight returns to Lancel's chambers, bearing a letter in response to his words. "Your Majesty; Your word carries great weight where ever it travels serrah, a word only, amongst your family or friends would bring would outweigh even my loudest protests. Please serrah, I wish to stand here on the ground I've made, anything that you could fathom would be as the Creator's mana raining upon my store. Sincerely, Myoni Hartsdottir

(( I have no issue with the Roleplay other than the headache its given me (I'm rather empathetic with my characters :x), Roleplay is Roleplay, my character however does have issues with this, and if it comes to it is prepared to die for her books. ))

A letter arrives in the Keep of the White Roses, addressed to Commander Arjen de Sarkozy, and promptly delivered to his desk or other such item of theirs to hold their mail. Another two letters, addressed to Uthor and Althos Silverblade also arrives at their estate. As well, pinned to door of Myoni's bookstore, the same letter resides. "Dear friends; It is my deepest regrets to inform you that our Military, the Order of White Roses, has allowed criminal activity into its ranks. My humble bookstore, has fallen prey to the few who prey on others and abuse their ranks to personal gain at the expense of others. Today, my store was assaulted with the presence of two such individuals attempting to extort my property through violence and their liberal interpretation of their duty. In the process they assaulted and battered a friend and patron of mine who came to my aid heroically. I pray to those who read this to expel and purge these men from their positions so that justice can be met upon them in their true forms, as crooks, criminals, lairs and deceivers. They claim that I trespass upon my own land and threaten violence upon me should I dispute. (( In the personal versions of the letters, do not read if you are not receiving the letter personally.)) I pray to what Gods may hear me that you aid me my friends, I would rather die than have these brutes rob me of my dream, and I will raise steel to defend it. Your guess true de Sarkozy, Adeon is one, the other however claims to be an officer, his eyes are blue with a thick mustache and beard, he claims that I trespass on land he purchased from the High Treasurer; he constantly insults my virtue of virginity. The other, he leaps to action without provocation. Poor Raomir Armon has received both of their violences this day, a patron who stood up in my defense. Please help me, I grow more desperate with each day. Sincerely, Myoni Hartsdottir

(( Sadly any collection I undertake will be a personal one. @Birdwhisperer, no my one, and only shop is in Oren's Capital of Horengrad; I have not even visited Malinor since I killed off Winter. Maybe someday I'll open a store there, but for now my only locations in mind are in Oren. ))

(( What of an adopting parent who joins the nobility through marriage or knighting? Will they be punished for that? ))

In cities and keeps, monasteries and Inns, posters hang of an offer, for literature... Greetings! I am Myoni Hartsdottir, and it is my dream to bring the world of literature to all who wish to grasp it. A lost art only appreciated by Lords and Ladies, Princes and others of higher class; I seek bring the wonders of books to any who wonder through my doors. However, my shelves are empty and I have no books to sell, no stories to tell, which is why you see these posters. I am paying anyone and everyone to author books, stories, histories, guides, biographies,religious texts and maps, and send them to me. I will pay as books sell, and you'll recieve a stipend of what the book sold for, I can not give all of what I sell to you as I'd like as I do have to buy paper and binding, pay taxes where ever I sell my books, and all of this can be expensive. If you want to sell your stories, pen them up in a letter and send them my way, I'll read, revise and sell them! Or if you can't write, come to my store; I always love to hear them. OOC: As some may know I recently received a bookstore in Oren, and I have no books to sale! So I'll be taking any and selling them as is wished. If you'd like to publish a story, write it up in a post below, or a GoogleDoc, or post a link below and Roleplay it in letter or visit format. I'll copy the texts into book form, and sale them. PLEASE DO NOTE: Oren is a very religious place, so any texts of religious practice or doctrine not of Oren belief will be labeled and taxed heavily, and texts of her enemies could banned from sale outright. I will not however, have any book burning as we are sponsored by Imperial Royalty. Should any texts remain unsold for any lengthy duration of time, they will unbound and remade, I wish to keep this bookshop open, not create a collection. As well, I will be frequenting the Literature sections of the forums, and contacting those whose stories I enjoy about publishing them, I will not publish anything written by a Permanently Banned Player or party. I will also be searching the Guide sections to make those that apply to available in character. Thank you in advance, your friend Winter

<3 Now I feel warm and fuzzy after finally sitting down to read these... I'd love to publish them, all of them in the bookstore...

I have decided that I will be selling maps of Oren in addition to literature, as I still enjoy my travels and I will do my best to create them as I can. As well I would like to thank Ser Black for donation of Ink to my humble store, and with that I will be announcing that books will be -sold- rather than rented, and all proceeds will go to the creation of new books as well as payment of authors and Mapmakers (and keeping me alive to sell them!). I will be making my home in the book store in one of the adjacent rooms. I will also be offering my services as a scribe and writer as well as a teacher if needed. I take great heart in capturing the stories of Oren's heroes and their triumphs, and so the first book I will have available is Lord Blackmont's Conquest of Seventis. I will not turn away any Oren literature that is of quality no matter its subject, a man of Religion should be a man of wisdom, and the conquest of knowledge is a wise pursuit. But following the request of my donors, I will stamp any books that contain heretical or otherwise pagan ideals for their content. Thank you for your continued support my friends, Your's Truly, ~Myoni

A new letter is pinned to the notice board... "On behalf of myself and the world of Literature I would like to thank the generousness of Oren's Nobility and Military for their donations to my cause. In thanks to Ser Charles Greymane for the purchase and donation of the Library and Lord Augustus Blackmont for his , I will be naming the establishment in both these men's honor and will announce the opening of the Blackmont Greymane Inscribements and Literature as soon as possible. Thank you Oren, Myoni Hartsdottir"
