To whom it may concern,

My name is Erin and I am a shieldmaiden of Tempus. First and foremost, however, I am a crafter of weapons, chiefly the exotic such as katana or bastard swords. In response to your public notice, I wish to offer my services as a craftsperson, though I will understand if at this time you seek one of a different sort. Regardless, it would be an honour to work in the service of the Knights of Toboerski, considering their reputation for honourable works and acts.

Should you happen to come across an open forge during your search, or should you decide to create one yourself, I should be more than glad to aid you in any manner of weaponscraft you wish, should I be found by you and yours to be capable enough. Until then, I humbly await your response.

Erin-

I thank you for your quick reply, although currently our House Seeks one with the skill in crafting the gates and the braces for the gates. However, your services as a weapon crafter may also be useful to us.

I, Aspirant Knight Melrick of House Toboerski, do currently seek a finely crafted Bastard Sword. If you can craft such a weapon, particularly one made of silver, please let me know. I also know that Sir Dungal Toboerski seeks those who can craft weapons made of silver. I will forward this message to him so that he may respond if he has the time.

Look for me around the city and we can speak on this more in person.

Signed, Aspirant Knight Melrick of House Toboerski

Aspirant Knight Melrick,

Should you have access to a forge that I can make use of, as well as the materials necessary, I would be glad to begin work on a fine silver bastard sword. The techniques I use should make even the poorest of silver quite hardy, so you need not worry about initial quality. Please give my regards to Sir Toboerski.

Erin the Smith
