Or, instead of that, give Rangers the Barbarian treatment and allow them to take a fighter feat at level 7. T'would give the class more diversity.

Live and drink, Forman Basil Bolanz,

I hope this message finds you well.

I am writing to request some information regarding the current operations of the quarry under your management. This information will be valuable for appraising your site's capacity and any operational constraints that may be affecting productivity, as they are related to possible future investment.

Operational Appraisal
I am seeking the following details:

• The number of workers currently employed at the site;
• The average monthly stone yield;
• Any internal or external challenges that have impacted, or are currently impacting, operational efficiency.

Sales Contact
Additionally, I would appreciate a referral to the individual responsible for overseeing the sale of the quarry's stone output, should that not fall under your purview.

I look forward to your response,
Idrees al-Mirza,
Vizier of Ephia's Well and Scribe of the Sublime Garden

Live and drink, Sergeant.

Here is the list that we spoke about, going back five months. May it provide some worth in your investigation. Just as a note, the order is recent to oldest.

Dear Legate al-Farisyya,

It has been some time since we have been able to speak, so I do hope you are well. In any case, I have a diplomatic proposal to Tlonsiyya that I would like your approval on:

Hide

Mission 1: Humanitarian
First and foremost, we must address the major health concerns that have been seen among those living in Tlonsiyya- we must not abandon those who suffer. Water will be delivered, and care will be given to those in need. The hope is that these actions improve our standing with the settlement, but ultimately is unnecessary. Additionally, this will be a good opportunity for us to tour their mine and invite a representative to return with the envoy to Ephian's Well to discuss trade further.

Requirements:   
- Concrete numbers of water we can give.
- A group (Must include Attar)
- Funding

Please let me know what you think.

Dutifully,
Scribe al-Mirza

[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.

Live and drink, Apothar

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.

Live and drink, Lieutenant of the Honorable Fourth Legion (Glory to his Sublime Majesty!)

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,
Idrees al-Mirza

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.

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
