[DM] To Master Qayem of the Ferric Exiles,

[caesaropapist]

TO THE CHAMBER OF MASTER QAYEM,
LEARNED ONE,

We, of the Office of the Vizier, cordially invite the Ferric Exiles to return again to the surface in labour & toil, for due fruits of your labor; for a contract exacting of the following with the writ of Entrance from the Warmaster Rennik Colmes,

1] THE CUTTING AND SHAPING OF METAL
2] THE JOINING OF METAL IN THE BODY OF A HULL
3] THE SHAPING OF WEAPONS FROM WHICH TO FIRE,

In service of the creation of an Ephian War-weapon, aided by our brothers in learning in the Tower of Qtolip: a skyvessel powered by a modified version of their Engine, modified by the principle virtues of the Star-Engines. We require the hull and belly, and the containment of said engine by your master craftsmen.

We will afford you considerable sums, up to fourty-thousand dinar, and materials purchased from Tslonsiyan caravans to ensure you work with none but the greatest of tools.

FROM,
VIZIER AL-ALMADEL
LODGEMASTER OF THE SOCIETY OF THE SHINING PATH & UNLIT LAMP
