Anchors lower 5th of The Amber’s Cold, Year 60 of the Second Age Respect for our fellow mercenary companies must be upheld, thus The Silver Lubba Band is needed to uphold an old treaty. To hold the balance which has been established The Silver Lubba Band pulls out of the conflict between Oren and Urguan and establishes the neutral zone of Lubba’s Keep. Further The Silver Lubba Band wishes to keep focus on what they are hired for: A war upon The Silver State of Haelun’or and fighting two fronts is simply not feasible. The Ferrymen Agreements With the new Ferrymen Agreements in place with The Holy Orenian Empire, it is seen fit to honor our old agreements and The Silver Lubba Band stands not in the way of the Ferrymen’s greater plans for betterment of the realm and temporarily remove our feet from their cobbled roads. The following terms have been agreed upon: Truce The Silver Lubba Band and Ferrymen enter a truce for the duration of the conflict, not engaging with them and they not with us. Safe Regions All lands owned by The Ferryman and The Silver Lubba are established as safe spaces for the duration of this conflict between both parties. Trade Agreement While not fighting each other, both The Ferrymen and The Silver Lubba Band are allowed to freely trade between each other. The Anchor Placed Down If The Grand Kingdom of Urguan were to try remove Lubba’s Keep from their region, The Ferrymen Support Lubba’s Keep in a further contract. signed, Applicable Contracts

A Small Festival for Trade 12th of Sun’s Smile,Year 60 of the second age. The recent events call for something fun to happen, thus Lubba’s Keep offers a trade festival to those who seek to sell their wares or broaden their connections during such a joyous occurrence. A couple of activities will be held during this event explained further in this missive, though all will be guaranteed to draw interest. Artisan workshops With the sheer amount of artisans of many crafts working at Lubba’s Keep, we invite those interested to have a look at what they wish to learn. Maybe you will pick up an apprentice for the craft that we allow to be explored. If you yourself wish to open up a workshop at the keep or perhaps a small company then ask The Silver Lubba and you will be provided with what is necessary. It is guaranteed some fun is had during this part of the event. May your craft evolve beyond yourself. Auction at Lubba’s Keep An auction was held a fair while ago when the keep was still small in land, though now it has evolved to have a community working to keep it running at all times, expanding ever so slightly each year passing to develop the lands given to us. This progress should be celebrated just how we started it all, with an auction to turn a profit for those who wish. Sell in Bulk, Sell in Specialty, Sell in Uniqueness, if it doesn’t cut the 100 mina mark then it will not be auctioned off to save time. May your pocket be lined with gold. Tavern Night It would be a shame to pay for drinks at a festival. Up to three drinks of choice are free, after that payment is required to obtain further drinks. Who knows some smaller activities may occur during this time. Hope to see you there. Eshtael Keeps Balance and Eternal We Stand. signed, The Silver Lubba

Dunborough Settled by Adunian hexers, the village was meant to be a home for those that returned from their Path, restocking, healing and resting themselves before heading out into the world seeking contracts of slaying beasts. Dunborough serves as a place of harmony too as it is positioned in an old stone circle of Druids of a bygone era. Only few would recognize it as the old Northern Faith. Trabezon Trabzeon is a small village inside of the Lubba’s Keep, not a lot of people live there but ones who do enjoy tax free housing. At the back of the village is a keep in which houses the Baron and his family, one might notice a small yet tidy and clean place for medics who support the keep grounds.

A Letter of Distress 12th of the Grand Harvest, SA 53 [!] A painting of all Lucina’s fourteen cats: Lady Nori, Lady Vex, Lady Bluw, Miss Latte, Mr. Snowball, Mr. Crawdad, Barthalemeow, Purrsephone, Engelicat, Shakespurr, Eurikat, Cleocatra, Catniss, and Zelda. The eldest daughter of the Dolorem-Kvitravn family sat on her living room floor with her fourteen cats surrounding her. She stared at the blank parchment paper that lay in front of her, trying to figure out what she wanted to write. Surprisingly, the piece of paper didn’t grab the attention of her cats but she wasn’t going to waste another second. Her hand reached for the quill, beginning to write away… Once she was done, she headed on out, determined to solve this mystery. She put up her letter all over the Lubba's Keep, hoping to find some answers soon. _______________________________________________________ To whomever reads this letter, Coward. You’re nothing but a coward. You broke into my home when I wasn’t there. But yet, you didn’t take anything. Not a single thing. All you did was break my doors down, leave your dirty footprints all over my floor, and left my cats in distress. How dare you? How dare you break into my damn home and cause intense stress for my children! Do you even know the amount of damage you caused for them? You traumatized my poor babies. Barthalemeow no longer sits by the windows, terrified to see a stranger's face. Or Eurikat who no longer waits by the door for me and Lady Nori who doesn’t bother coming out to enjoy the rain. How dare you do this?! You’re disgusting for breaking into someone’s home, making them and their family feel unsafe in their own home. I hope your mother, the person who birthed you, is disappointed in you. May the rest of your days be filled with agony and pain. I will find you. I will hunt you down. I’ll take you apart myself. I’ll take all of your minas to cover the emotional distress and damage you have caused. I’ll do what I need to do to avenge my precious babies. This is not a threat, this is merely a warning… Or come forward to avoid this mess. Signed by, Lucina Eiriksdottir Snowell Dolorem Kvitravn _______________________________________________________
