Please welcome Griselna the Bitter to Boldhome. She's the second child of a very rich Kheldon Drighten.

Thank you,

I've come to Boldhome for the spring feast. But I've come alone. Should anyone like to accompany me, please let me know.

My plans are to join the cult of Orlanth, and, maybe in time for the summer campaign, find a regiment where I can serve.

Oh, I'm afraid the invitation doesn't apply to Erik or Quatlu, seeing as they apparently think too high of themselves.

//OOC: Seems there will be cause for duel if we meet, me being a noble of CHA 7.

My dear Griselna,

I will be attending the Queen's Feast with the lady Yealla. Should you have any dispute with myself I look forward to our settling the matter at that time. I look forward to seeing you.

I am at your service,

Please allow me to introduce myself, I am Grumbold Rahlefson of the Locaem, purveyor of quality apparel to the fine folk of Boldhome.

I would be most delighted to be your escort to the Queen's Feast if you would do me the honour. I regret due to a recent injury I may not be the deftest pair of feet should there be any dancing, but I believe I can compensate for that lack by introducing you to several members of society that I have the pleasure of knowing. Oh, and Baron Rufus Bronzer, Lt Warlord of Mularik's Regiment too.

Welcome Griselna to Boldhome. It is excellent to have a fellow Kheldon noble in the city. I would be happy to assist you making your mark in society.

Ondureen pens another letter from Tarsh:

Welcome to Boldhome, most noble Griselna! I greatly look forward to meeting you on my return from the front, when I will be at your service.

In the meantime if you are looking to join a regiment the Snake Pipe Dancers is seeking brave new recruits and indeed has a number of officer posts left vacant by the fight against our Lunar foes that might well befit your exalted status.

I am also intrigued, why the bitter epithet?

Dear Griselna,

Ah, a new arrival to our fair city!

Allow me to add my personal greetings to you, it cannot be often that you receive a direct welcome from a God! Yes, for I am Broar Broarson (aka Broar Hofarson) the divine head of Cult Broar the Benevolent and Boldhome's leading Healer, I am also the only ASSISTANT RUNELORD of real note here but I don't let that fact get in the way of being a friend to those of a lesser standing in life as I'm an all round man of peace and harmony, always keen to make new friends and acquaintances, and people like you of noble bearing fit the bill just fine.

Unfortunately it saddens me, but doesn't surprise me, to see that already you've received a communication from a certain Erik Stargazer (aka Erik Starkraving, by some) in which the fellow is already harping on about disputes and settling matters!! I'm afraid you'll find that this Erik is a troubled man, constantly plagued by a number of voices in his head, and despite that fact that he is one of my regimental colleagues, a fellow Orlanthi and a member of the same Inn as my good self nothing I try and do to help him resolve his outlook on life seems to make the slightest difference, many have said he is, regrettably, a lost cause. Did you know that he recently even offered to loan those experiencing financial pressures some lunars to alleviate their circumstances YET when I, with all those prior mentioned connections with him, replied he then bluntly refused me! Shocking behaviour towards a colleague but just another example of his instability. I weep for him, Griselna, I truly do, the times I've prayed to the Blessed Mother for a cure for him but I believe that even to her great powers nothing can be done for he's too far gone.

Anyway, enough of him, let's look towards what a fine friendship we can have! I'd like to begin by extending the hand of friendship in the below ways -

1. How would you like to immediately become a God Talker?! Yes, I bet you would, none of that having to wait for seasons on end with Cult Broar the Benevolent and I can make you one straight away.....how good is that eh, and all for the extremely modest sum of just 30 lunars. Furthermore, not only do you get the right to add the title of God Talker after your name you also get to join me, once a month at my prestigious Inn, The Scribbled Scroll, as, after all, a God Talker should have the chance to speak to their God and only with Cult Broar the Benevolent do you get the chance to do so in person!

2. Personal medical care should you find yourself in need of such. As I mentioned previously I am, without doubt, Boldhome's leading Healer and my talents have been seen on both battlefield and in the city. I can attend to your needs and offer discount lucky charms that will give you that extra protection at the Front should you ever get called to war. These charms range in protection from the more common ones that protect a limb or an eye or an ear etc to the all purpose "Broar Bodybuddy" that will offer you comprehensive all over protection! Contact me with your requirements and I'll see what I can do about getting you a special discount price,what with you coming from such a rich family a few lunars invested in personal protection should be of little concern, I look after my friends!

3. It's a further fact that I have a couple of associates in high places, can't say too much more at this stage, need to know basis and all that, but let me assure you that one of these associates is a person you wouldn't wish to mess with, her and I, ooops did I say her there, tsk, of course I meant to say they, yes they take a dim view of anyone acting in an inharmonious way. We've already got our eyes on a couple of individuals...watch this space, so to speak.....and I can ensure with a quiet word in her, ooops, doh, there I go again, THEIR ear you'll be left well alone.

So, welcome once again to you dear Griselna and I look forward to a long and mutual friendship between us. I may even go as far to say as that, who knows, what with me being currently single, unattached, perhaps we could be more than just friends!

Welcome, Griselna. Always good to welcome another of the Kheldon to bustling Boldhome, and especially one keen to join the service of Orlanth. Do let me know if there's any assistance I can offer.
