August
2003 Edition
Its been
an interresting month and a lot of changes and additions since the last
time I took quill and ink to this decorative little rence paper.
I feel
sorry for the men charged with reading my handwriting and converting it
to
a legible and understandable document.
In any event, Laura welcomes a few new members and hopefuls this month.
First up is Talan, of the Caste of Physicians. He did bring a
slave with him but I've heard she's pulled a disney trick. He is
a healer and will probably take over the physicians office once he has
more time
to devote.
Second brings Syn DaFoe, of the Caste of Builders. She is now a
full citizen, is in charge of the newly built South Shore Shipyard. It recieves wood from
the logging camp on the west end of the Laura territory (see Maps). Hopefully it
will kick out some good ships and get her some good commissions.
Next brings us Andaran, of the Caste of Warriors. He saved Syn
DaFoe in the Crossroads and the two are now intended to each other for
Companionship (date TBA). He accepted Citizenship as my debt
repaid to him for saving one of the City's citizens from capture.
This last month also brought U/us a new possible addition. Jon Stark and his slaves tana {JnS} and alexi
{JnS} came in by tarn one night asking about mercenary and tarnsman
positions.
It should be interesting to see how it all turns out.
Avita, the woman of the late Desdecado, who died in a death spar with
one of Scagnar, has decided to become a citizen of the City and placed
her lips upon the homestone as I was writing this missive on the first
day of the
fourth hand of the fifth month (august 3rd). She has also taken
the
treasury
position and readied it for general use. This will be yet another
way that the commerce in Laura should take off like a flight of
tarnsmen.
A woman by the name of Niata has arrived from abroad and is under the
protection of Laura by request of Avita of Laura. We don't know
much about her yet, but time changes everything. Hopefully she
stays a while and enjoys the ummmm....trees and ummmmm....water.
With the growth of the City at present it hopefully will not be long
before we can hold the election for Council Members. Whenever we
have 10 active Free Members we'll hold that event. More
information will be available through our message
board.
I wish U/us well
