Councillor Dentra, I'll arrange to meet you as soon as possible, but to speed matters, I shall answer some of the questions you posed in your letter now to allow you time to consider the information.

Personally I am neither particularly wealthy or well supplied. I'm an entertainer and minor merchant, not a rich lord. My greatest personal assets are my clusters of useful plants from which I can harvest the necessary seeds for this plan.

However, I have gained the backing of House Archibald in this project to aid with resources. Charmberlain Crowshire has also offered guards from the estate to watch the crops. What he requests in return would be a dedicated share of the food to supply House Archibald's needs. I have also persuaded some of the local druidic circle to act as advisors, due to their knowledge of plant-tending.

Security has been resolved somewhat by a suggested change of location. Discussion about establishing crops within the walls has led me to consider that large boxes of manure and sand, in effect bigger versions of those for potted plants, could be set up in open spaces near the Beetle Caves, or in an abandoned building in the Dunwarren ruins or Sanctuary itself.

As for politics, I've got no ties to any organisation here. My motivation for this project stems from my desire to set up a secure source of alchemical reagents from plants, and the realisation that if expanded to food, such a venture would aid far more than myself.

I hope we can meet soon. Lurue go with you, Councillor. -Egon
