A Silver Lubba’s Auction With the more recent establishment of Lubba’s Keep and the local economy on the coast this keep is found on, it was seen fit to throw a party of sorts. This party was the tavern night held a good while ago, so it is time to establish ourselves with the wealth we have collected throughout the years and host an auction for those who can find us in the realm. THE AUCTION The Auction is being held at Lubba’s Keep, at this location a makeshift auctioneer’s platform will be constructed within the square. Once the auction starts then the gates will close. At this auction various items will be sold by The Silver Lubba Company, its allies and potential merchants who wish to auction something off. If one were to wish to auction something off at the auction, then reach out to The Silver Lubba in advance. Anything can be sold as long it is not the life of someone else, unless this life agrees and is willing to contract themselves for a period of time. Happy Auctioning! signed, The Silver Lubba

A Silver Lubba’s Bounty Board Due to the more unorganized nature of bounties popping up sporadically, it was seen fit for The Silver Lubba to organize the bounties listed in a more proper manner for his band. This board has some of the more recent bounties placed upon it regardless of its nature to uphold neutrality with some exceptions being made where the Silver Lubba himself won’t get involved, though the bounties will always be up for the taking for his men. The Bounty Board Located where once the dais was, a bounty board has appeared, replacing The Silver Lubba’s small unused throne with something more practical in the long run. The board already finds itself filled with various bounties which go up into the thousands worth for the more experienced men who reside in Lubba’s Keep. This board is not limited to the citizens and allies of Lubba’s Keep as this board is merely a collection of bounty notices placed around the realm, those who have access to it can claim a bounty to their desire. Happy Hunting! signed, The Silver Lubba

Lubba’s Keep, The Expansion 2nd of The Deep Cold, Year 41 of the Second Age As the final bricks were laid, The Silver Lubba of The Silver Lubba Band realized something. He had designed and built this keep with the intention of housing his men and women, though also for him to flourish in a place he could call home. This home, however, is for the band, affiliated companies/groups and those who seek opportunity. This opportunity is simply said to offer a job, having something to do while living life as someone who aids the realm in whichever way it's seen. The Keep The Keep, now functional in its current state seeks to accommodate more like minded individuals such as those from The Silver Lubba Band, the various old librarians, medics, general mercenaries, sailors, tavern workers, smiths, mages and weapons dealers ensure there will always be something to do. Lubba’s Keep had been designed for the single purpose of housing those who wish to explore the realm through different eyes while making a quick sum of mina. Housing Housing, often overlooked when designing a keep with purpose over beauty, though not gone unnoticed by The Silver Lubba as it is said this keep could house 50 individuals with relative ease and offer them such with minimal or no tax. If it were that taxes were necessary to be implemented then tax exemption would be in place for those who actively contribute to the keep’s prosperity. Medics gaining tax exemption when helping a patient, Mercenaries gaining tax exemption when aiding in a battle, Mages gaining tax exemption when summoned for projects, Tavern workers gaining tax exemption for a day’s work, Workers gaining tax exemption for donating their works, The event committee gaining tax exemption for hosting an event, And so on. Though this housing is often limited to members of The Silver Lubba Band, it is not uncommon for those who have found work in the keep to be provided with a room to call their own. Services and Facilities Lubba’s Keep, while not too big nor too small, offers a wide range of services and facilities to those within their keep or even those outside for the right price. Lubba’s Keep currently hosts these facilities: Library The Library, having a plethora of books and a wide collection of history throughout the centuries these librarians have travelled the realm and purchased books, now seen in the library of Lubba’s Keep. From children’s books to guides and theories on magic, it is likely to be found here. Smithy With the high demand for equipment for our workers and mercenaries, Lubba’s Keep hosts a private smithy for band members and the local smiths who work tirelessly to equip our people with the finest works and often sell some of this to the market or auctioning it off once an auction is held at the keep. Bath house Leisure is ofcourse a necessity for high morale, this bath house is to keep oneself clean and ready for the day. warm to the touch, a descendant made waterfall flows upon you and takes with it your troubles temporarily flow away in this room. Market place The market place like any good market should, is surrounding the square and is located in places of activity, having a good amount of small stalls for artisans and merchants to sell their wares at the keep for the right price. These stalls are often bestowed upon those who have the wares Lubba’s Keep would require to function or jewelry and fine clothes. Tavern Much like the bath house, the tavern was implemented with the purpose of leisure, though quickly became a place to share your stories, hold your speeches and seek a duel to take to the square. Offering a limited amount of drinks and foods due to the current state of there not being a dedicated brewery to supply this tavern, though it does offer every necessity for a good tavern such as beer, a non-alcoholic drink, tea, etc. Ballroom While less likely to be used due to the more vigorous nature of the keep, it is not too rare for there to be hosted a masquerade or party at the keep with fine piano music in the background. While the ballroom is not too big, it is said to be big enough to host a good amount of people if they had not already stumbled off to the tavern yet. Clinic The clinic is where those who are wounded or found sick go to, strategically placed next to the tavern to cut travel time from where more accidents happen. Offering a small crew of medics and a doctor, they operate fine and fix you up, sometimes offering limb replacements if necessary or if wanted for the right price. Holding Cells Due to the nature of Lubba’s Keep where it is filled with those who want a quick sum of mina in their hands, it was found a necessity to install holding cells for those stepping too far out of line or for enemies of the keep’s inhabitants, workers and soldiers. Mage Tower The mage tower is where the magic happens, quite literally. Teaching new students, building projects and forging new weapons to auction off once an auction is being held. The collective knowledge of the inhabitants of Lubba’s Keep make them a formidable group to develop and produce new kinds of weaponry unseen before in the realm. Stables Stables, while these are private for The Silver Lubba Band, are used to store and breed horses to provide its mercenaries with the best steeds they can find and make. Housing As explained before, Lubba’s Keep has plenty of housing of a decent size for a decent tax or none at all. The keep split into apartments and sections owned by the Lubba’s Council provide plenty of space for The Silver Lubba Band and its allies. Docks With the coastal positioning of the keep, having access to the sea is essential for trade and the sailors and mercenaries inside who seek adventure and mina. sometimes found to have its ships used to go on adventures out into sea where they find incredible monsters for their trophies and treasures hidden deep into the sea. Offices While the keep sounds pretty well managed already, it would not be possible with the administrative side of the ruling body over the keep. This ruling body is seen working in their offices, though they would rather be out in the field with their fellow bondsmen and workers who make the keep run as it does. Opportunity Opportunity awaits at Lubba’s Keep for those seeking it, fighting to defend their homes and seen outside of it fighting for coin when hired by a nation or if the nation they are under is being attacked. Come seek us, while I shall not give directions as of now, we always enjoy having visitors around to share stories with or perhaps make a deal which benefits the both of us. We shall host a tavern night and give directions and the time it will be hosted to those who wish to come. Our people will be prepared to receive a good amount of guests and only those who ask with good intent shall be served. signed, The Silver Lubba, Holder of Lubba’s Keep OOC:

The Silver Lubba Band, Lubba’s Keep 12th of The Grand Harvest,Year 33 of the second age (For The Glory of The Eternal Silver Lubba) Tensions rise and fall, but even in times of peace, there are battles to be fought. With this we strode forth, aiding those in need without further cost than their gratitude. Having aided in the defense of Urguan from the sporadic mercenary companies and more recently Sutica against the same, with both battles won. The Silver Lubba Had been offered land within Urguani borders for the Band to establish a fort and complex to operate from. (The Silver Lubba Band aiding the Sutican Forces in the Kharasi steppes) (FLAPTRAPS ART. BY RICHARD ANDERSON) Establishment: With the recent establishment of Lubba’s Keep, a list of accommodations are provided from the start for each member of The Silver Lubba Band, often free of charge. Housing The Housing within the complex of The Silver Lubba Band is limited to bondsmen and novices without home yet has plenty of room for expansion to accommodate more people within the fort. Housing within the fort is similar to that of an apartment complex with all basic needs covered and provided by the other facilities within the complex. Tavern / Brewery With the construction of the fort, the idea of being mostly self-reliant is appealing so The Silver Lubba Band issued its very own brewery and small tavern within the fort to keep up morale for the bondsmen housed inside and potential visitors. Recipes are used which have been passed down by a few old-Sutican brewers which can be consumed for a fair price. Blacksmith The idea of self-sufficiency became a necessity, having blacksmiths work on armour and weapons day and night to provide for the bondsmen on the field or simply to sell on the market to other companies or individuals as a secondary income stream. Often it is found that bondsmen take interest in the art of smithing and get taught such by our local blacksmiths, it is possible to be taught such as an outsider as well. Clinic Bondsmen are the lifeblood of the band, if they fall ill or need a wound tended to, then they can rest and recover here. Medics and doctors are a necessity for each and every mercenary group that finds itself active, though something most clinics do not offer are replacing limbs when needed. Services are free to those within the band, though come with a fee for those outside of it. Grand Mercenary Hall No militaristic group can operate properly without a point to rally from, for The Silver Lubba Band this is the Grand Hall located in the center of the complex and easily accessed by those within the fort and surrounding areas if the gates of the fort are found open. This hall is the heart of the band and is to be used for events, tournaments and grand speeches by The Silver Lubba. Void Haven More recently The Silver Lubba Band has acquired a fair few mages who are willing to help the band create new weaponry, armor and tools to work with and with such The Silver Lubba Band has dedicated a room to experimentation, development and production of magical projects on larger scales than before without the meddling of outside groups. (A small detachment of The Silver Lubba Band approached by a high elven child as thanks for help) (Art by Wang Ling) A Call: To those who wander aimlessly, have grown bored of repetition or seek a challenge: I, The Silver Lubba, offer you a chance to throw a branch in the wheel of an ordinary life and take upon yourself the mantle of living a mercenary’s life with still the possibility to return home. The bondsmen of The Silver Lubba Band are bound by honor to their contracts and will complete every single one of them as their own challenge. We do not fight the roads for petty theft, We do not rob an honest man of their work, we are not road brigands. You do not need to have allegiance to The Silver Lubba to fight alongside us in our contracts if your intentions are sound. Join us and see what being a mercenary is like. Contact any Eternal or The Silver Lubba for inquiries. signed, The Silver Lubba, Holder of Lubba’s Keep

A Kraken’s Contract with a Lubba The Unified Domain of Vortice has contracted The Silver Lubba Band today, 12th of The First Seed, Year 28 of the Second Age to do the following within the lines of a custom contract which combines the following contracts into one: Garrison contracts Garrison contracts are similar to road protection contracts, though these contracts are for patrolling cities and settlements, defending them at any cost from raids, slavers, and malicious actions posed by the people inside. A list is to be provided to avoid confusion on what is allowed and what isn’t within the garrison. These contracts are often long in nature as supply would be little to no issue at all. In this contract it means The Silver Lubba Band will reside within the walls of The Unified Domain of Vortice for the duration of this contract, assisting with protecting its people where capable and will be provided with a location to temporarily operate from. Training contracts The Silver Lubba Band is able to teach soldiers, recruits, and levies to match with our bondsmen. This could be in combat, medical expertise, tracking, hunting, discipline, or general survival tactics around the world. These types of contracts are separated into two contracts: ‘Theory’ and ‘practice’ for each topic of training provided with ‘theory’ being less expensive to organize and hire and ‘practice’ often requiring more effort on the band’s end and resources thus more expensive for a contract. Duration and instances are negotiated at the creation of this contract. For the duration of this contract, The Silver Lubba Band shall train up those willing to be trained within The Unified Domain of Vortice to the degree that is achievable within the time this contract lasts. Two trainings will be held per stone’s week at times negotiated with the local population. This Contract lasts One stone’s week before it either needs to be renewed or ends.
