Syrin

Kaden listened quietly as the man spoke, nodding when the conversation required it and smiling politely as Syrin laid out his lift for the Valintars approval. Scratching down notes as the man talked, a silence stretched between them for a few ticks while Kaden made sure he was done. It wouldn’t do to interrupt.

“I have to say, you have most certainly painted me a vivid picture. A shepherd. Interesting concept. We have goats,” Kaden tapped his chin thoughtfully “but I don’t think they would take kindly to being herded. So I think we can safely rule that out.” His quill paused over the paper in the action of scribbling something out. “Unless you think you’d like jumping around the mountainside after them?” A smile touched those blue eyes, and the wink that followed made it clear that the Valintar was only joking.

“That leaves hunting. Do you feel comfortable going out in hunting parties and bringing game back to the city? It would be your primary job, and it can be grueling. However, a room and rations as well as the weapons you would need, such as arrows, would be provided for you.”

Kaden waited for the response and the mans acceptance, a nod and a smile given along with a slip of paper. “Welcome to Wind Reach, Avora Syrin.”

OOCI sped it along by assuming you were going to agree to Avora ;)

Demetri

“You will be of the Chiet caste, then.” A few scribbles of his quill and The Valintar produced a slip of paper that was handed across the desk to the Symenestra. “ I welcome you to the city. Your housing and rations will be provided for you, and we expect you to keep up your end of he bargain as well. Welcome to Wind reach.”

OOCThank you for being so patient with me, Demetri.

[Wind Reach] The Valintar

Postby Syrin on September 8th, 2012, 4:48 pm


Syrin smirks at the Valintar's joke and laughs softly. He listens to the great man proposal about being a hunter for the city of Wind Reach, and he is surprised that the city provides them with supplies for his task. However, when he thinks about it longer. It would make sense the city would provide for their hunters. It is their primary way of providing food for the city. Syrin smiles at the Valintar and says to him, “I have no problem hunting along side other hunters. It would give me a better chance to expand my knowledge of hunting, and it would be a honor to provide food for your city, Valintar since you been generous about opening your gates up for me. I will look over my equipment, and I'll write up a list of things needed for my job. Do you have a market where I can acquire the equipment?”

Syrin looks at Kadan and asks, “Since I'll be living in your city for a long time, who would I talk to about exchanging my foreign currency for your own? Also, I guess I already told you about my extracurricular activities of playing with spirits.” He hopes his taken as a joke, but he continues, “My father mentioned a well known Konti spiritualist named Whisper lived in the city of Wind Reach. I guess I want to introduce myself to her out of my respect since we both share the same professional interests in the spiritual world. Obviously, my duties as hunter take priority over my personal calling, but I had to ask.” He pauses for a moment and a confused look comes over his face. He looks at Kadan with a questioning look, “Oh I accept your offer of joining the ranks of the Avora, but I might sound like a ignorant foreigner right now, but what is Avora?”

"Market Day is every ten days. So the next one should be coming up soon. It's held in the Courtyard of the Sky and everything you could possibly need is found there."

"I am sure that Whisper would be more than happy to talk to you. You just have to hunt her down, is all." Kaden gave a light laugh and shook his head, settling back into his chair. "Gold Miza's can be traded one to one for Pinions. I can do that for you here." There was some shuffling and the two men exchanged coins, the heavy gold ones going into The Valintar's dek whille Syrin was left to pocket the colorful, glass pieces that Wind Reach used for their currency.

"As for your other question, take this." And Kaden passed him a slip of parchment he had pulled from a large pile of similar looking ones. "This should help you out."

The Avora caste is a very large and diverse caste, from blacksmiths to reimancers. Each craft enjoys the basic Avorna salary. Independent and above expected duties can result in special compensation and must be arranged with a storyteller. Also they can make their own products to sale on market day for added profit. These market days must be roleplayed out.. An avora is expected to fulfill city orders for at least half of their time working. Whether it is crafting stone, making blankets, growing plants, or blacksmithing chisels, the avora must provide goods for city orders first, then their time is their own. They are then allowed to spend time with families or to craft their own wares. The Avora are also given the opportunity to have varied and eloquent meals that may include multiple courses or food cooked more for the delight of the palate rather than nutrition. These meals aren’t large, but they are often amazing, displaying the talent of the chefs of Wind Reach. Many of the better chefs (not cooks), in fact, are considered Avora.

[Wind Reach] The Valintar

Postby Iosha on November 3rd, 2012, 5:47 am


Walking into the office of the man called the Valintar. She learned from her mother that he or she was basically the ruler of Wind Reach. Honestly, she wasn't really interested in the government of her fathers people, so she being a naïve child in her youth. Promptly forgot what he mother told her about the inner workings of Wind Reach. Unsure of the greeting to give to a man of his status, she approaches the middle age man behind the desk and she says with a smile, “Hello Valintar. My name is Iosha Moonchaser, and I am looking for a job and housing in your city.”

"No preamble. I like it." Cracking a lopsided grin, Kaden rose from behind his desk and inclined his head towards the pale woman as she crossed the threshold into his office. "Please, have a seat."

Once they had both settled back down, the Valintar steepled his fingers and rested his chin atop then, gazing down at the newcomer. "We welcome you, Iosha. I assume if Val let you buy, you have a great reason to be here." Smiling and tossing her a wink, Kaden cleared his throat and continued. "We have a particular way of doing things here. In order to have a play to stay, you have to provide for Wind Reach- not the other way around."

Shuffling some papers and moving a pile here and a pile there, Kaden glanced back up at the Konti "What kind of job are you capable of, if you don't mind me asking?"

[Wind Reach] The Valintar

Postby Iosha on November 4th, 2012, 2:52 am


Flashing him a small smile, Iosha sits down in a chair and folds her hands in her lap. She reaches up and moves a piece of hair from her face, and she says to him, “Understandable and if the rumors I heard coming south from Avanthal about Wind Reach. Resources are stretched thin in your lands. Also I don't mind you asking what my skills are that is why I am here.” She looks at him a moment with her violet eyes and continues, “I promise to you. I won't be a burden in the birth place of my father...”

She pauses and thinks for a moment trying to figure out something to offer the Inartan people. She takes a deep breath to and continues, “Well Valintar. I was never given the gift of foresight like many of my sisters, but ever since I was a child, I had a fascination with medicine, so on my twelve birth day. My mother enroll me at the medical library in Mura. During a long night of studying and a sizable puddle of drool on the table. I was woken up with touched on my arm, and I saw a woman looking down at me. She smiled at me and withdrew her hand and disappeared the empty study hall. When she was gone, I noticed a gnosis mark of Rak'Keli on my arm.” She rolls up her sleeve and shows him the gnosis mark on her arm, and she holds it up a moment and returns her hand back to her lap. She continues her story,”I was blessed by Rak'keli as a healer, but my knowledge of medicine is limited to what I learned in school. I would love to help your people in your clinic or hospital, so I can put my knowledge to good use in the real world.”

Iosha looks at the ground and bites her lip. She not sure how the Valintar would react, but he should know for the sake of people. She looks into his eyes and says with a hint of confidence in her voice, “My interest in medicine was my own personal dream despite the disheartening opinions of my grandmother, but I had to honor the wishes of my beloved grandmother. My grandmother is a practitioner of the arcane arts of reimancy and shielding. Since my mother never had the ability to use the arts, the responsibility of the family traditions were taught to me when I could barely stand.” She blows a piece of white hair from her face, and she gives him a smile, “I am more skilled with reimancy than shielding, and my element I am most proficient in is water.” She laughs slightly to herself and says jokingly, “So if you need anything watered, I am your girl!” She looks off to her side and apologizes to him, “Sorry for my bad jokes, Valintar; however, my mother was a gardener, so when I was helping her in her garden. I was the person she sent to fetch water from the well.”

Iosha looks at him nervously. She hopes he is not bored of her long explanations, but she figured he would want to know someone fully before deciding their duties in the city. She figures she should let him know about her “curse” or gift. She takes a deep breath and continues, “In my travels authority figures tended to take a interest in my abilities given to me by the vision water of my people. I have the ability to see the moments leading up to somebody death. After the events play out, the vision of the spirit or spirit. Will tell me his or her name.” She pauses and shudders to herself, “It can be a disturbing event for me especially if it is a violent death, and if death is wide spread in places of a natural disaster or plague. The vision can almost be crippling.” She swallows hard and looking at the floor now, and she says without looking up, “Honestly when I entered the city. I had to keep my eyes on ground to keep from seeing the visions...I am so sorry for your peoples and the pain you had to endure this year.” She decides to stop talking wondering if she reveal too much to the man behind the desk.

Kaden listened politely as the girl told her story, nodding and smiling when it was due. Her jokes, though she claimed them to be silly, gave the Valintar a good chuckle. About halfway through her explanation, however, Kaden already had an idea where to send her, but he let her finish.

"We have suffered a lot, yes. But we have endured. We always will." There was a note of pride in his voice when he inclined his head to the Konti woman, a smile on his lips. "I think I know just the place for you! The Infirmary always needs more helping hands, why don't you stop by there and talk to the healers and let them know I sent you? I am sure they will welcome you with open arms."

Scribbling something on a piece of parchment, Kaden paused before continuing. "Your 'watering skills'.." Yes, he laughed at his own joke, "would also be greatly appreciated in the gardens we have here. Once you've been to the infirmary, anyone there can show you the way. Here is all the information you'll need regarding your new position, Avora Iosha." Handing over the paper he previously scribbled upon, Kaden gave the woman a seated bow and turned back to his work, leaving her free to go whenever she had readied herself to do so.

Avora


Income: 750 pinions a season
Tax: 450 pinons a season
Profit Kept: 300 pinions a season
Expectations: Daily work at least eight hours a day and two days off after every seven.

Avora caste is a very large and diverse caste, from blacksmiths to reimancers. Each craft enjoys the basic Avorna salary. Independent and above expected duties can result in special compensation and must be arranged with a storyteller. Also they can make their own products to sale on market day for added profit.

[Wind Reach] The Valintar

Postby Ishgrameer Windwalker on November 22nd, 2012, 4:08 am

Timestamp Fall Day 1, 512.
Ishgrameer arrived at the Valintar's office. He remembered seeing Kaden once during his youth, on a journey into the city. It had been years, and only a brief passing. However he had admired the man, something in the way he carried himself.

Turning the knob to the door Ishgrameer casually stepped inside, taking in the glass work that was all around him. It truly was a marvelous office, for a marvelous figure. Seeing Kaden behind his desk, Ishgrameer approached. Slowly he arrived within a reasonable distance of the desk and stopped waiting a brief moment before saying "Hello, my name is Ishgrameer Windwalker. I am here to request work, caste, and lodging. I am in no rush. Could i perhaps take a seat? I am tired from travel. This is a lovely office. You are an honorable acquaintance, i am pleased to meet you."

His eyes were intent upon such a mighty and important figure, and the wisdom that lurked behind his eyes.

The Valintar smiled as the man politely bowed himself into his office, a hand extended to shake and then direct him to a seat. "I'm not busy at all. It's nice to meet you, Ishgrameer."

Steepling his fingers as he always did, resting his chin beneath them, Kaden watched Ishgrameer as he spoke, nodding in the appropriate spots and smiling. "I think I remember you... have you traveled far? You are welcomed to take as much rest as you need to recover sufficiently before you start your job..."

Leaning back, Kaden clasped his hands behind his head and gave the man a thoughtful stare, as if he were trying to access his skills just by looking at him. "What can you do? What can you offer the city?"

Postby Ishgrameer Windwalker on November 25th, 2012, 7:22 am

"I am surprised you recognize me. It has been a few years, and i was younger then. Thank you for remembering. I have come far, yes from the wilds i called home. I am not so bad off as i was earlier. That is due to a splendidly delightful woman named Cin. She is the most wonderful of acquaintances."

Ishgrameer paused as he sat, and took the time to set his pack down. He contemplated for a minute what he should tell Kaden. The truth of course, and nothing less. He kept a unflinching gaze upon the man, but out of curiosity. Ishgrameer had always taken simple delight in studying the flow of the world from the meager mouse to the mightiest of men. He smiled.

"I think that i shall get right to my job as soon as it is delivered unto me. Some things deserve contemplation, and careful planning. However an idle mind can be a curse. My skills, as i am sure you have already assessed-for you are a wise man-include hunting, scouting, observation, and fletching/bowing among the other common skills one develops from a life in the wild."

Ishgrameer chuckled before continuing "I also suppose lodging will be something of a necessity as i don't think the coming Winter will be to kind to an owl like myself, and it would be nice to get out of the wind for once."

"In short i can offer the city my strength, my wisdom, and my skills as a hunter and survival expert (as well as fletcher/bower)."

Ishgrameer waited, and smiled at Kaden. Waiting for him to make his decision.
