Proposition For The Smiths

[NoctisUmbra]

A letter would be posted around the city with the Gishkim Seal.
​

For shame on both of you, wasting resources of paper over some squabble. I have proposition for Baron Godrun and Smith Enki. Instead of a battle of words. How about a battle of skill, metal against metal. Smith against Smith. Winner gets to claim superiority offer the other and ten thousand regals(1 wealth token). what do you both say, accept the challenge or be like old woman arguing in bar. I suspect an answer by tomorrow's sunset so I may plan this challenge in detail

Akurgal Gishkim
Duke of Pol Callant

A letter would be sent to the Duke Gishkim with a reply, short and simple.

"Dear Duke Gishkim av Pol Callant

If it ends this, I hold no issue challenging him to a competition, I shall let you decide who is the judge and all to leave it impartial to either party.

Sincerely, Baron Godrun Nordhjem av Harstad"

 

[Carcalla]

The Following is in Vasar, as the Eronidas Smith decided to speak to the man directly.

Rakhon Akurgal Gishkim;

While I accept your offer, I want to meet you in person before the trials commence in full, and I will say this Eronidas to Eronidas, the Baron challenged me in his initial letter. I have simply retaliated in words that I have went over very carefully to ensure legality. Despite the outcome of this duel, I want that to be kept in mind, I am not the instigator in this case.

Vakgar Protect,

Enki Lok-Ningishzida
Forgemaster of Vakgar's Torch

From the desk of Lady Aurora Mina Litvinova

Though specifically directed to the Duke Gishkim, it was posted below the two other letters for the city to see,

Seeing such a competition commence would do the community some good, especially after all the time wasted by the man named Enki.

Though I must also bring to light how Enki had, prior to this, challenged the Baron to such a competition though wanted himself- Enki- to pick the judges with out the Baron Nordhjems knowledge instead of it being publicly decided. He has tried to bribe many others, such as myself, into getting what he wants. I will attach the contract he had signed when in a meeting with him below. He also had tried to bribe a mercenary to get him out of such a situation when he had spotted the Baron Nordhjem and I at Greygate for our report on his mistitlage to the Baron. For all fairness, I suggest that both contestants should not be allowed to meet anyone for such a contest as it has been shown time and time again that Enki Lok-Ningishzida will try to bribe others.

For the man to publicly say he is not the instigator of this case would also be quite a lie. He was the one to approach me after hearing of my relation with House Nordhjem, instead of putting together that I may be friends with the house he instead questioned me for any personal information, slander, or anything to get dirt on the Baron. Which I shall say, the Baron has none. He had also approached the Baron earlier to tell him he would 'run him out of business' and had tried to stoop so low to try and get anything from the Barons friends or those who know his house and forge well. To reference such both of their prior public letters will be attached below this one.

Enki had claimed I was a liar in his post and then said other wise at Greygate, the Eronidas switches up what he says to try and weasel himself out of trouble. I am not writing such to be called as a 'call out post' I am rather pointing out situations of how this man has tried to free himself from his own doings.

I write in confidence, that House Litvinova backs and supports the Baron Nordhjem and have full faith in his smithing abilities of his which are simply the best of the best as his craft comes second to none. I wish to see a fair and clean competition and to see the judges be public rather than hand picked.

Along with such, House Litvinova puts forward 10 thousand regals (1 Prog Regal) to the winner, however the loser of such competition should publish an apology letter to the other to the public and also admit defeat to the other company.
​

Signed,
Lady Aurora Mina Litvinova

Below the letters were attached a signed paper and forge blueprints to a Szabadokian helm that were of much lower quality than the Barons.

"I- Enki- will make Lady Aurora Mina Litvinova a szabadokian helm of her dreams if given certain information on the Charging Ram and the Baron Nordhjem."
Enki Lok-Ningishzida

A letter would be posted around arenacourt, and anywhere publically allowed from Baron Godrun Nordhjem Calling out a specific Erodinas by the name of Enki
​

"To all of regalia who wishes to hear it, I am calling out Enki Lok-Ningishizda, An Erodinas smith with a terrible reputation, who has just recently gone out to one of my close friends, asking for information to spread rumors of me with, attempting to gather dirt that does not exist, and my friend Lady Aurora Litvinova has given me a letter written and signed by this man as proof, attempting to bribe her with lower quality smithed items. The reason he did all of this? He confronted me earlier today proclaiming he would run me out of business, but never did I expect he would stoop so low so soon, in response, I have this letter posted to all, so all may be aware of his underhanded, and dishonorable tactics. A copy of the letter he wrote signed by him, to Lady Litvinova will be attatched below. "I- Enki- will make Lady Aurora Mina Litvinova a szabadokian helm of her dreams if given certain information on the Charging Ram and the Baron Nordhjem."

Signed,
Baron Godrun Njalsune Nordhjem, Av harstad."

In resonse, the eronidas would pin under it his own message, this one with more grandeur, and with some more colorful language.

Dear Copycat;
While I am flattered that you wish to be me so much, I will say you are doing such a shitty job it nearly insults me and those who have worked with me in the past. Whatever Lady Litinova tod you was a lie, I was looking for insider secrets on your business sure, though personal information? Hardly any. As for your product, you are not competition, you are the paper of which I wipe my ass with, it's garbage to say the least. A dagger for eighty regals? Steel? You're insane, that's more than what I pay for my house, and you expect the peasant folk to play with it. You are dillussional, you are a horrible businessman, and you embarrass any blacksmith who is in the trade. Please, before you try to call me out, do your research.

Pinned below the third letter in the Arenacourt is a quickly scrawled note, in handwriting that simultaneously looks brutish but elegant, as if written by a giant who greatly practiced.

Please report any charges of bribery involving mercenaries to one of the Mercenary Officers.

~ Officer Franz Knispel

 

[Carcalla]

Pinned below was a missive that was sloppily written, as if the Orken author really did not care about the notification.

Dear...;

Me and Silver have been friends for many years, he has been my client in the past and I wanted to commission him for a weapons idea that I had planned on making. If buying an old friend a beer is illegal, then I should be swung from the gallows. As for all your other claims, I don't care and you have no proof, are we done here? I have no issue with you, let's leave it like that.

- You Know Who I Am​

Enki Lok-Ningishzida,
Welcome back to Regalia. I wish to take this moment to request that you come by our offices to finalize the registration of your forge. While.. I haven't heard of a new one being built - It is entirely possible that it has escaped my attention. You can find us at Greygate, simply ask for a Violet to show you to the Commerce office. (doesn't exist ig yet just dm me)

Respectfully,
Cazna Gahan,
Manager of Records - Commerce Ministry.

To the Good Manager Gahan;

I have not a building, as that is still in the works, as my business reopening is a very recent ideal, that has become fairly publicized more than I would have liked. I will register with you irregardless, though next time I would recommend sending a private letter to my home address in menelaan, as this is a tad awkward. Thank you for your consideration.

Azrael would read through letter by letter. His eye brows raising more and more the further he read. Eventually coming to say a few words.

"Show them your skill, Baron. May The Weard's Bless you."

 

[onearmsquid]

Would be seen attaching another letter to the list.

To whoever is managing the rewards,

I have always enjoyed a good challenge, therefore I will match that of others of ten thousand regals (1 wealth token) to be awarded to the winner. May the best prevail.

Another letter is put here

Given the need for our funds to satisfy projects for our people and certain plans. I have resolved, in the glory of creation and business over which Theomar decides. That I shall offer the winner in addition to all of these wealths, a free piece of art whether choreographed dance, song, or musical composition (instrument of the winner's choice) to celebrate their victory.

This is not meant to be a joke, I honestly do desire to tender some reward for this competition and desire to be creative.

May Theomar pronounce his choice,

Atum Morathes
Celate of the Divine College of Divinity

(OOC Note: Sadly I am not a irl composer or choreographer so these shall be ic works)
