Poster Ongoing Scholar Recruitment.

depositing and dropping parchments of lavender paper
over groups of people or locations they will be easily found.

I hope this piece of parchment finds you well dear reader.
I am looking for scholars, alchemists, and those with a hunger for
knowledge to join me in gathering a group of like minded individuals
to aid in gathering research and studies on a multitude of topics.

Strength is not just found in muscle but mind as well and I wish to show that fully
with the work I hope to create with you all. From mundane flowers to vile beasts
to the unknowns beyond our current being, I wish to leave no stone unturned.

I hope to gather many minds that wish to do the same and research old and new
discoveries for the betterment of the spire and it's people.

If any of this interests you please send letter to me on who you are and what you desire
to accomplish and attribute. I am also open for public inquiries and any questions you wish to ask.

Thank you,
Callista Fesyla

Callista : Hesperus || Trish Jessimir

Dear Ms. Fesyla, or Callista if you prefer,

My name is Aralei Stardreamer, and I'm new to the Spire. I have to say, I am greatly interested in this prospects of this organization, and wish to join its ranks, if you will have me. I have an undying curiosity for the mysterious and undiscovered, so the idea of an organization built around discovering the mysteries of this land.

Back in the Valkia, I studied to become a librarian. Through my vocation, I've learned a wide range of general knowledge about the world and creatures. I also came from a family of a mason and a vineyard worker, and thus have some passing knowledge of stones, plants, and the like. I pride myself in being observant, and I have exceptional pattern recognition.

Worst comes to worst, I'd be exceptional at collecting, organizing, and maintaining the vast collection of knowledge and information that the Assembly will no produce. At the very least, I could maintain and organize the Assemblies discoveries and allow the rest of the organization to focus on their expeditions. Though truth be told, I'd love to get the chance to do some field work.

I hope this letter reaches you well, and I hope to hear back from you soon. I am usually present at the library behind the lecture hall, or The Full Cask (Is that what it's called?? The tavern near the lecture hall).

Best wishes,

Aralei Stardreamer

Dear Miss Callista Fesyla,

My name is Tayde Martolod. I am currently employed at Nell & Company as a carpenter, shipwright, and, more recently, a toymaker. However, my formal education is in naval engineering, and my research thus far has focused on mechanical and abbacal methods in their practical applications.

The recent mindless destruction of the Garden has convinced me that I must broaden my field of study while there is still knowledge to be gained. Therefore I believe our goals align, and I would be honored if you would consider me for collaboration.

If you wish to review my humble portfolio, please let me know a time and place at your convenience, and I will be at your service.

Your message will reach me at my apartment on a port-bound street in Spire.

Wishing your waters be serene,
Tayde Martolod

Dear Callista,

 

Please come find me during my shifts at the hospital in the near future. Seldom do I have free time for anything bar my medical work, studies and fostering love life. If you could do me this favor, I would more than happily join your new Guild.

My interests as of late, bar the obvious advancements in medical studies, have been regarding alchemical mutagens, arcane theory and Aedall histories. I am soon to partake in an excavation and would like a platform to publish my studies, if you would allow it.

 

All I ask in return is for a share of tea. I regret your last visit to the hospital. Please allow me to make it up to you.

 

Yours thankful,
~Elreyna

 

p.s. bring the baby. I want to see the baby. It has been too long since I had a chance to see the innocence of youth!

To Miss Callista Freyla,

My name is Vanyel Locharyn, and I find that I may be interested in taking part in your efforts, as I have long believed that true strength comes not simply from strength, but from the mind as well. Though my formal position in the Spire is as a member of our militia, I do find myself drawn to the Arcane Arts as well. Histories, Discoveries old and new, and research into what lies beyond our realm each are subjects of great interest to me. All things that can be put to use to better understand our world, and to better the lives of the people of our great Spire. Though I have little experience to show for my name, I believe that I could be an asset to this research.

I would be honored to be included in this endeavor, should you wish to reach out - a letter can be returned to my room in the tavern.

Thank you,

Vanyel Locharyn.

Dear Callista,

By some way or method one of thine flyers reached me. I am quite interested in thine endeavors, and would like to offer myself to join thine Assembly. I can offer protection on field treks, and have access to some insights I would further like to explore in a scholarly manner. Such I would prefer to discuss in person. That said, tis related to the Arcane and I suppose to History as well.

I shall find thee at some juncture, and we shall speak on it.
Tis impressive of thee to begin thine own guild and I am quite happy for thee whether I am allowed within or not.

Ser Adrian Pandion

Hello,

I am called Tamerlane, and I hail from the Valkian city of Mariza, from which I have come to the Spire only recently. I was recommended to the Hermetic Assembly after expressing an interest in studying and preserving what remains of the late Aedall Empire and its people. After hearing some deeply troubling opinions on the Aedall, I feel the need to proclaim my philosophy on the matter: they do not deserve to be forgotten, despite their many faults.

While I have never completed any formal education, I consider myself quite dedicated to the pursuits of the scholarly. Should you see fit to have me in the Assembly, I hope to eventually prove indispensable.

Tamerlane Mirarri

A letter is left in the Assembly's mailbox. The handwriting is jagged with many words written in Elvish only to be crossed out and replaced with Common.

Dear Lady Callista Fesyla,

I am writing to you today to inquire about the opportunity of joining your "Hermetic Assembly" organization. I'm traveled to the Spire from Uul'san in hopes of researching a particularly elusive species of bat that has apparently been spotted here in the Reach. My hope is that I might join to better study my inquiry and help with other fields as I am needed. I look forward to your response. Unfortunately there is no available housing here in the Spire, but I can be found around the ruins if a return address is necessary.

From,
Perseus Tel'abath

A LETTER LEFT IN THE ASSEMBLY MAILBOX. THE HANDWRITING IS NEAT, EXACT, AND NOT AT ALL ORNAMENTAL. MERELY EASILY READ.

[!]

Dear Mme. Callista Feysla

I write to you today in hopes of becoming a fellow of your organization. My relevant specialties consist of horticulture and some knowledge of alchemical processes in relation to the refining of alcohol. I offer my services in clerical fashion if nothing else, and am willing to take the notes. My hope is that this fellowship is a fruitful one, that all parties are satisfied with respect to knowledge gained. I have at present no fixed address, but can be found working behind the counter at the Full Cask or, in my off times, reading in the library.

With Regards,

IVETTE BABINEAUX

Dear Ms. Callista Feyla,

I hope this letter finds you well. My name is Arielle Il'Valyris, a scholar from Ko'ram. By the time you receive this letter I should hopefully be close to the Southern Reach, to which I am traveling for my scholarly interests. I wish to put my effort into unraveling mysteries of the Spire and the lost culture of the Aedall. My fields of study are in history, anthropology, and to an extent, linguistics. I have been told that you are whom I am to pen a letter for associating with the scholars of the Spire-town, and I look forward to our meeting.

Signed,

Arielle Il'Valyris
