[Letter] To Legate Garen Linwood and Legate Vellyn Lhyrian

[Bon]

To the honoured Legates,

Today I wish to present my plans for the expansion outside of the Rose Gate to provide a place safety, education and respite for the many youths of Ephia's Well. Tentatively named as yet: The Campus.

I'll admit that tonight's Assembly Announcement has caught me just slightly behind schedule and so there is one critical piece of information still yet missing: A map of the proposed area.
I assure you this is in progress by the diligent and hard working Student Cimeya, but she has just received a vitally important job and that must take her focus at present.
When it is available I shall ensure such a thing is provided to you however that map is not required for us to begin making steps towards this aim.

This dream will require the co-operation of the follow organizations: The Cinquefoil Rose, The Astronomers of Q'tolip, The IVth Legion of the Sultan's Janissaries, The Sand Stone College, The Second Flame.

I would also require financial aid, labour, and political support from the Palatial Pyramid.

I present to you the three steps to make this dream a reality.

Step One: Use what we have

The first step is to use what we currently have to begin providing knowledge and teaching to the youths currently present at The Drifter's Stockade.

What would be required here is simple: Textbooks and Teachers.

Each Organization is to write or otherwise source a textbook on what they believe is the basics required of their workings.

These textbooks should be presented at the next assembly. Once they are presented the person who wrote or sourced the book shall receive 1000 dinari from myself. I hope that the Legate's can match this fund so that the person who spends their time working is adequately compensated. That's a total 2000 dinari combined for the person who writes or sources such a book.
Total this is 5000 dinari provided by myself and a further 5000 dinari provided by the Legates

Past that, each of the above organizations is expected to provide one person to teach that material. They will be expected to do so one day a week. Negotiations can be had on how the Palatial Pyramid might be able to support such workings and we can discuss this today at the assembly.

What is required from you here is:
5000 Dinari to be granted to those who write or source books.
A contract for five people (one from each organization) to begin teaching at The Drifter's Stockade.
Any financial aid you might be able to grant those teachers.

Step Two: Fix what is broken

The second step is to take what is already there and restore it to working order so that we have the space to house and teach the children.

This will take the form of the labour and materials required to fix The Drifter's Stockade and further to clear out any other buildings. It will also require furnishings.

I had once received a quote on this matter from Carver but, given that he is no longer with us, I would like to get a survey upon such buildings to see which ones can be fixed and made safe and so any quote on such works from the Palatial Pyramid would be useful here.

What is required from you here is the following:
The matching fund to Aurelio's donation to fix The Drifter's Stockade.
Surveys on the cost to clear the buildings.
Surveys on the cost to restore the buildings.
A number of dinari that could be provided by yourself to be allocated to furniture.

Step Three: Build something new

The biggest part of this is to build something new of this space. As mentioned I will, before the next assembly, provide an illustration of this however for now here is what's required:

We must extend The Shade or otherwise provide some cover from the Ash. I have spoken to Apothars on this matter but I expect I will need to speak to a Zennithar in the coming days.

In order to ensure the Well and any Ash defences are adequately defended against malcontents we must build a new wall and gate that extends as far as were able to push out from the Rose Gate. Bran is currently in the process of ensuring this is also amenable to all the Stonefolk of The Tablet.

Even with a wall raised we must ensure further defences are provided. To this end I wish for the Legion to patrol the roads and for La Banda Rossa to protect the buildings.

If possible I would like to provide a building to each of the aforementioned organizations with which to undertake their teachings of the youths. I would also like to provide one building for generalized teaching that all youths need and a space for all the orphans to live. Further to this I would also like to provide a space for a kennel and stables.

This is all quite ambitious, I know, but I will strive to realize this vision.

We can discuss this part as an entirely sperate topic at a later date. For now momentum for the other two steps must be made and questions for the viability of this plan are still being asked.

Thus you are now appraised of the depth and breadth of my plans. Please ask any questions you might and I shall endeavour to provide answers.
