Citizens of Naileaon

[The Dark Mike]

It is with great pride that I bring to you, The Fraternum Arete!

The Fraternum Arete, translated, is the Brotherhood of Excellence.  We are a guild dedicated to bringing the citizens of Nailaeon quality crafted goods.  It is our hope to supply the citizens with another purchasing option, an option where the citizens are not forced to purchase their goods at overly-inflated prices from their local (government sponsored) merchants.

The Fraternum Arete values the worth of a gold crown, and so it is our intent to purchase select resources at premium prices.  It is our desire to generously reward those individuals who choose to supply us with various natural resources.

The Fraternum Arete believes that this unique system of bartering will be most beneficial for all parties involved.

We are currently accepting applications and scheduling interviews with prospective members.  Prospective members must have the ability to invest in the Fraternum Arete.  More specific investment details will be made available to prospective members.  Suffice to say, this business plan is unique, so unique that we fully expect it to be copied by other guilds and/or businesses.

And finally, the Fraternum Arete is proud to offer a limited amount of apprenticeships.  These apprenticeships will be offered to the budding adventurer or even the neophyte crafter.  These apprenticeships are conditional.

Interested persons are encouraged to respond here or if you prefer, via private message.

Yours,
Henrik Bludhaven
Chairman, The Fraternum Arete

The Fraternum Aret?

A fine incentive.

I Facit Magnascore, Master Carpenter, will gladly lend my talents to such a venture.
Provided such a cartel will reward the efforts of those fine souls, who risk life and limb, to collect the quality materials needed to craft the best of quality goods. By making available said goods (at said reduced prices), but also in providing suitable compensation for toil in collecting the various natural resources.

Signed
Facit Magnascore

I, Jason Altoona of Nailaeon, would be interested in lending a hand to this fledgling venture.  Perhaps in time, and with a healthy profit made, the guild may be of service to a venture that I wish to see come to fruition.  I can be found about the towns of the outlands.  Leave a message on the boards of the many inns and I shall meet with you.

[The Dark Mike]

To the individuals who have contacted me,

I wish to meet with each of you - either collectively or individually.  I shall be staying in or near Clarendon for the foreseeable future.  Please look for me there so that we may further progress these talks.

Thank you for your time,
Henrik Bludhaven

I believe that I  have the time and dedication required for this calling.  The wood almost literally sings in my hands, but the 'uniqueness' of my skill needs  guidance.

I request being considered as an apprentice within this group.

Dear Henrik,

I have heard about your intention to establish a new guild. I believe it'll be called Fraternum Arete and I know you are looking for investors. I see potential in your plan and I would like to invest my gold in the Fraternum Arete.

I propose we meet in person in a private place we agree upon. We need to discuss your business plan in detail. I'm currently staying at Cracked Flagon in Obake. If you want to reach me just send a message and the innkeeper'll take care of it.

I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
