I. Preamble
I am noticing that many of the nobility have still not chosen a business to partner with so, as Minister, I am releasing this Decree to better explain what patronage means.

II. What Does A Patronage Do?
Patronage allows for a business within Regalia to receive funding from a notable house. This funding can be used to import items, improve the establishment, or help in times of struggle. Of course, the business should usually offer the house discounted items or something of the like but it is not required.

IMPORTANT OOC NOTE: This does not use wealth tokens! This is all roleplay and it just allows for businesses and nobility to interact more (You would be surprised at how many of them wish to interact with you guys!).

III. Which Businesses are Available to Support?
The businesses below that are colored in RED already have a patron. This does not mean you cannot support them as well (example: House Cadieux and Litvinova create patronages with Weaving Wishes). Many of these places are amazing and give great opportunities so please show support for them.

IMPORTANT OOC NOTE: Try and pick a business not in red. Multiple people can patron the same business and you can have up to TWO patronages with shops!

Restaurants & Bars
The Golden Obscura
Eflaln's Roost
The Glittering Tree Bar
The Gauntlet
The Rosemary Swan Cafe

Finecraft & Metallurgy
The Charging Ram Forge
The Ruby Ram and Talisman

Artisan & Specialty

Entertainment

IMPORTANT OOC NOTE: I would prefer if your noble runs a shop to support your business as well as another (kill two birds with one stone) and since this is all funny money it should not be an issue!

IV. A List of Thanks
The houses below have already made patronage with a few of the amazing businesses in Regalia! I wish to formally thank some of you a second time as well as add to the list.

House Bancroft's patronage with the Paper Dragonfly

House Morathes' patronage with Weaving Wishes & Vivid Symphonies

House Nordhjem's patronage with Charging Ram Forge & Two-Claw Hunt Shop

House Delmotte's patronage with The Sacred Winds Clinic

House Howlester's patronage with The Golden Obscura

V. Wish to Know More?
If you still do not know a business which intrigues you, maybe these small advertisements may give you an idea. Please letter the Commerce Minister or the Depute of Commerce whenever you have chosen a business.

VII. Depute of Commerce

VIII. Final Notes
- Letter the Manager of Records to be added to the registry as a business or individual.
