The message is sealed shut with the Vanderghast family seal, smelling of faint spices and fresh zurkhwood

Mister Egon,

I would like to invite you to become a Member of the Vanderghast Trade Consortium. As a Member, you can place orders for trade around the Underdark. Advertisement with my house will cause an increase in your sales, and much more popularity within Sanctuary. All that we ask is a five-hundred coin donation and my good family name to be used during trade. If your decision rests with the donation, it can be waved.

We will speak soon, please set a time and date you would like to meet at your convenience.

-Lord Reginald Vanderghast ll

Lord Vanderghast, Regrettably, my formerly profitable wand business is closed until further notice, due to combat injuries that have left me unable to perform the delicate business of enchanting such devices.

I shall contact you in a few darks, once I've recovered sufficiently. In the meantime, It would help if you could provide more information on how joining this consortium would provide a good return on the investment of five hundred gold, in the form of bulk orders and the like.

-Egon "Balladeer" Rosenqvist
