[Available positions:]

My name is Idrees al-Mirza, and I am looking to start up and sponsor a mercenary group that can help me fulfill certain objectives, as well as provide me with wares for my store. My preference is towards individuals who are new to the city, as I would like to help build them up. 

The main responsibilities of those who are employed would be to regularly complete board contracts and retrieve any valuable items that can be sold at the Camel & Cloak stall. Additionally, there will be other contracts that exist outside this scope available to those in employment, but the details and payment of such will be discussed at the time of contract creation. 

Available positions:
A Frontline Fighter – We are of in need of someone capable of fighting on the frontline
A Spellcaster – Any individual capable of weaving blessings or spells 
A Specialist – A lockpicker, trap-springer, an expert in all things related to subterfuge.

Terms:
The price for employment is 500 dinar a week and 15% of Camel & Cloak's monthly profit. What I require from my employees is only that they do board work once a day and that they bring wares for me to sell. I reserve the right to cut anyone from employment. Of course, if I do, you will still be paid for the week.

I was gladdened to hear that, of the names of the deceased, your name was not among them. However, time does not give us pause- the election calls upon us the act with haste, so should you find a moment free, please let me know when I and Lady Shabani can meet with you. Until then, I pray for your continued good health.

I'd imagine, that between the city and the war, your schedule for meetings must be incredibly packed- despite this, do you think you could be able to find some time within the primaries to meet with the Lady Shabani? If so, please write back- I'll do my best to schedule it with her.


Dutifully,
Idrees al-Mirza

Live and Drink,

We have not met yet- but I hope this is to change. Within the next week or so, would there be a possibility in your busy schedule to allow myself and the candidate of Purple to meet and discuss things with you? If so, please write back so I might schedule it.

Many thanks,

Live and drink, Honored Warmaster

My name is Idrees al-Mirza, active scribe of the Sublime Gardens and advocate for the Purple League. I spoke Luther about this recently, but I was hoping that we might be able to find a spot in your busy schedule where the candidate of Purple could meet and speak with you. This, of course would take place after the primaries- if you can find such an opening, please do write back and I will do my best to schedule it.

Idrees al-Mirza,
Voiced Citizen and Scribe

(P.S. - I hope the brass wand was to your liking. First time I have seen such potent magic placed upon a wand.)

Live and drink, Apothar

We have never met, but I have heard many good things about your person from mutual acquaintances. I invite you to speak with me before the ninth of this week. When you are available, please find me.

Merchant-Scribe,
Idrees al-Mirza
Voiced of the Purple League

Live and drink,

I, Idrees al-Mirza, write to you as a member of the Purple League. Given the recent occurrences within the Well, I would like to discuss a few things as soon as possible. Within the next day, if such is permitted. Please find me.

Glory to Sultan Osman the Sixth- blessed be his name.

Live and drink, Honored Legate,

Sergeant Rhuk Nor,

Initially I thought it would be best to handle this issue within an in-person discussion, but for the sake of conciseness, we will be 'hashing-out' the details over quill and parchment.

The predicament: After negotiating our deal, I ended up selling a certain sword that was within one of the 'approved-for-sale' chests and the owner, a soldier by the name of Hans, was rather upset. Now, threats against my person I can forgive, but calling an honest merchant as myself a THIEF, I cannot. Bear in mind that, after learning that I had sold an item that wasn't intended to be sold, I informed the soldier of the current owner. Regardless, given that I wish to maintain a positive working relationship with the Fourth Legion, I will not be seeking to renegotiate our agreement, nor seeking anything beyond an apology for the SLANDER against my honor as a merchant.
 
Furthermore, to prevent such occurrences from reoccurring, I would like to request that the six chests that I pulled items from be relocated to a more convenient place within the garrison and be renamed so that soldiers are aware that any item that goes inside will be considered sell-able wares.

I wish you well,
Idrees al-Mirza

[Reflections on Suffering and The State of Enlightenment]

Reflections on Suffering and The State of Enlightenment

Upon deep contemplation of the Self within a haze of mizzir, I came upon a question: What is suffering and how is it caused? Unfortunately, it isn't as easy to understand it as it is to define it. We all have felt some sort of "suffering" in our lives, albeit some more than others, but what is the root of it? And, knowing that, is there a way to free ourselves from it?

To answer this for myself, I continued meditate- thinking upon the reasons I had felt suffering within the past two weeks, I came to a conclusion: suffering is a result of desire, or rather, the unfulfillment of desire. In knowing that, the path towards freedom from suffering be a result of living without desire, therefor suffering- right? No. Living without suffering is in of it self a desire, therefor it is unattainable- however, if it is your sole desire, than you can achieve it, for as it was previously mentioned, suffering is a result of unfulfilled desire.  Thus, we can say that living without suffering can be done so long as you limit your desires to those that can and will be fulfilled. This answer does not satisfy me however.

Many people see suffering as a bad thing, and to be fair, it is. But without suffering we do not grow; we do not experience the kinds of things that make life worth living. You cannot experience the joys of the world without the contrast. Thus, comes the last conclusion I made during meditation: Enlightenment, the state in which an individual obtains the greatest amount of fulfillment, occurs through devotion to purpose.

I don't know if I can properly communicate it, but sheer amount of time and effort you and the other Dms put into the server is amazing.

We're incredibly lucky to have you and the others. Thanks.

Hello,

I am a representative of the Fourth's legion Janissaries; under the approval of Soldier Zoturu. I write to you now on concern related to an item within your catalogue called 'The Snaked charmers' rod of Command' and it's tangential relation to the unholy Wyrm. While it isn't necessarily illegal to buy and sell the item, that aforementioned tangential link does raise some concerns.

We will need to speak in-person at the soonest possibility.

Innocence proves nothing,
Scarab Din

Minor thing, but could a way to change ones' alignment in the start area be added? It'd be a small, but appreciated change.

Additionally, I'd like to suggest removing blade thirst and aid as ranger spells, and then give rangers access to 3 level spells sooner. Maybe also give more spells per level.
