Gondish Artificer Probably Nuts

[Kitsunestume]

Anyone more than passing through the Trade Tier has probably paid, seen, or at least heard of James Frazer, the strange elven artificer who has almost taken up residence in the Temple of Ogmha and nearby stores with workstations. After a recent expedition to Mossdale and the Teeth to obtain further reagents, the Gondsman has been noted blurbleing happily to anyone he finds (regardless of allegences known or professed), generally customers and other craftspeople , explaining an idea to create a Union of Fabricators. He explains that such a network would benefit both producers and clients by allowing standardization of prices ("Within competetive variance, of course"), more reliable and faster access to talents of different disciplines, and greater availability of products and services of all types with lower costs to all involved. Assuming the listener stays for the entire blurb and shows an interest (In typical socially oblivious capacity, he assume the fact that he still has a listener to be interest), James then asks them for their contact information and skills, recording them in one of his many tomes.

Having accompanied James to the mossdale and the teeth, Dante has decided to give this some serious thought.

He leaves a note to James at the Temple of Oghma.

"James, am interested in your ideas. Would like to arrange a meeting between the two of us to discuss the possibility of a permanent business arrangements."

Magus Dante Swift.

A parchment is tacked up at the Exigo notice-boards, next to the Golden Bough Artifice and Arcana flyer. It bears a seal of solid bronze, rather than wax, impressed with the image of a sixteen-tooth gear, crossed by a quill and scimitar:

To Craftspeople Large and Small, Adept and Apprentice;

I am seeking the time and attention of individuals interested in aiding the advance of Sundren through Ingenuity, Improvisation, Intrepidity, and the possibility for Implosions. My proposed Fabricator's Collective is not to be a rival for the well established Exigo Syndicate, but rather a think-tank of the brightest Sundren has to offer. The proposed goal for this collective will be to distill principles of the arcane and mechanical sciences into reality for the betterment of all. Current funding and workspace are minimal, but may be increased with time. However, the most important resource is You! If you think you have something you can add to this project, please leave contact details, degree of status, and professional or academic field below.

-Accepted applicants of apprentice or journeyman status may quality for private research and exploration grants.
-Applicants of master craftsman status are requested to seek a personal interview.
