Cease And Desist Notice
From the Livery Company of Ironmongers, Blacksmiths and Founders
This letter is an official Cease and Desist notice from the Livery Company of Ironmongers, Blacksmiths and Founders (now to be called the Company). This is to prevent items ascribed to the Company, that is included in their monopoly, be sold by non-members (see THE EXCLUSIVE CONTROL OF GOODS OF THE LIVERY COMPANIES OF THE CITY OF HELENA CORPORATION, 1769).
This letter demands this property to cease trade of:
All Iron nuggets, Iron ingots and Iron blocks.
All Gold nuggets, Gold ingots and Gold blocks. (Unless proof can be supplied that it cannot be used in the manufacturing of tools, arms or armament).
All weapons of war derived from Iron or Gold, such as swords, and tridents.
All tools of use derived from Iron or Gold, such as Shovels, Picks, Hoes and Axes.
All forms of armour derived from Iron or Gold, such as chest pieces, leggings, helmets, boots, and shields.
Failure to comply with this letter will cause the Company to enact legal action with the offending party to recoup lost earnings and force sales of such items to be halted.
Continued sales of these items can only be done through a licence of sale issued by the Company. Contact the Company’s Livery Master, Porphyre Nicephore [carp#1818], for inquiry into this item.

Amended upon the end of the letter posted at 4 Nauzica Square reads:
To my esteemed friends at Carrington & Co,
Unfortunately we are required to take these steps as a Company to ensure the legality of the Company’s monopoly, where exceptions made would harm the integrity of the order.
Instead, the Company would like to allow it’s constituents to enter negotiations with Carrington & Co, or other members of the Company of Mercers, for high-quality Iron and Gold for usage in their forges, as allowed by their Monopoly.
Signed,
Urthun Drumm, Master Smith
