Comes further Announcement.

Goals:
Shifting my usual approach to play I thought it'd be fun to consider emulating one of my favorite NPCs, the good Financeer Frederico Mezzizeni. Rather than a traditional mercenary or sellsword, I've made what you can consider an Ashfolk Mercenary. Ruital has served a number of invidiuals and until recently, The Ashen Conclave in larger contract, in the pursuit of helping turn their business around.

My PC has undertaken tasks such as

- Contract with the White League of Ephia's Well as advisor to a nascent Candidate.
- Contract with the Scribes of the Sublime Garden to assist in educating new refugee arrivals
- Contract with the aforementioned Ashen Conclave to help their faction and business grow.
- Contract with the Janissaries to raise funds from their surplus.
- And more.

I share this as with this PC going forward I've got four things I'd like to offer.

1) My own PCs investments. Aside from the Casino I have a few other ideas percolating which I am hopeful can help spice some things up in EFU. I'll be looking for PCs who would be willing to help grow and guide these businesses to the mutual benefit of all. Without giving away too much spoilers for instance my next endeavor will be raising a Mercenary Company and I've been actively meeting with potential "Captains" in game to discuss possibilities.

2) My own PCs contract with your Faction. Be it an Officer of an Accord Faction who wants some help, and Accord Faction Member who wants active support for a Promotion, a political apointee, or Voiced PC established looking for a new twist. I love factions and helping things grow so I'm glad to serve as a short term jump-start to activity or (If it can be arranged and you're willing to negotiate terms) long term employee and supporter of your faction.

3) My PC's investment in your Future. Part of the fun I hope to pursue is also investing in a number of PC factions. They're one of my favorite things in EFU and if someone has a great idea and just needs some help getting it off the ground I'd be more than glad to have a meeting and discuss possibility of helping out. For a price of course. Or PCs who have had longer lasting factions they'd like to jumpstart back into the swing of things, etc.

Suffice to say I thought it'd be fun to flip the mercenary game on its head and with an Ashfolk twist offer to be gasoline on your grease fire. I can be a hireling, I can be an employer, or I can be a partner making it rain on your endeavors depending on what you're looking to do and how you'd like to engage your PC/Faction in affairs.

This is all very new and experimental to me, but it's been great fun and glad to see where it goes.
