any persons of sound mind, steady hand, and untroubled conscience: Be it known that the undersigned, Rendil Halfmoon, of the Halfmoon Trading House, hereby seeks trustworthy escort and protection for a small caravan bound from Fallcrest to the barony of Harkenwold. Two wagons of goods will depart upon the King’s Road within the week—timber, salt, cloth, and sundry mercantile wares for sale in the southern valley. I am informed that the roads have grown uncertain of late: farmsteads abandoned, bridges ill-kept, and rumors of brigands, beastmen, and worse. I therefore require a company of armed and capable travelers to ensure safe passage to the market town of Albridge, for which service I shall pay the fair sum of 100 silver pieces per guard, with board and road-rations provided. Any salvage or trophies won from highwaymen are yours by right and conscience. Those who carry blades for hire, or hearts for adventure, are welcome—provided they can walk a league without complaint and stand a watch without falling asleep. — Rendil Halfmoon Merchant in good standing of the Halfmoon Trading House, Fallcrest Dated this 18th day of Reaping, in the Year of the Vale 293
By Order of Captain Nazin Redthorn, Commander of the Iron Circle Detachment in the Northern Vale Sergeant — You are to range north of the Harken River and clear the King’s Road of all resistance. Any farmstead that fails to yield tithe or shelter shall be made example of. Secure all wagons and supplies moving between Fallcrest and Harken Keep. Seize salt, grain, and cloth; burn what cannot be carried. No trade is to reach the barony without our mark and levy. Report any travelers of unusual bearing—armed companies, spell-workers, or messengers—to your lieutenant at once. Our allies to the south grow impatient, and the Baron’s household still harbors hope. That hope must be extinguished before the month’s end. The Circle marches soon, and the valley will belong to us. — Cpt. Nazin Redthorn Under the Seal of the Black Flame, in service to the Shadowed Lord
Preparing for my first session of my work game with two letters, one the party will be given, one they’ll find. I’m dipping these in tea now to get them aged. Alt text has the letters written out. #ttrpg #rpg #nentirvale
