In some of Cormyr's main cities and ports of call (as well as the Enclaves), several notices have been posted in only the most appropriate of places. It is marked with the emblem of Waukeen, Helm, and Typhon. It reads as follows:
A call to traders, sailors, and mercenary companies alike...
In tendays time, a mercantile expedition to the far off lands of Maztica shall take place. This expedition is funded by the Black Horse Trading Co.
Already have the countries of Amn and Lantan taken their cut. So too shall we receive our just dues.
The purpose of this expedition is to search for and obtain tradable goods that will add to our continued wealth and prosperity.
The pay per person for skilled folk is thusly,
1000 lions on acceptance of job with contract as a signing bonus.
1000 lions on successful arrival in the lands of Maztica.
1000 lions on successful return to the Marsember Enclave with trade goods safely delivered.
2000 lions on final completion of task and dismissal.
The following positions are to be filled, should you feel yourself skilled enough:
1) Captain of the Vessel: Must have at least 5 years sailing experience in open water. Exclusive use contract offered for future expeditions if successful, as well as 1000 lion raise in pay. [Licios]
2) Deckhands and Sailors [ a representative from the church of Valkur, Alexial]
3) Mercenaries and Guards: Exclusive use contract offered if successful with task. [Alex, Rumus]
4) Master Surveyor and Miner: Must have 2 years of experience in the field, must provide own work crew. 50% profits of precious stone and metals found will be afforded to you and your team. [Gardrak]
5) Wilderness and Survivalist Guide: Must have 10 years of experience
Those wishing passage on the vessel that do not fit the above roles must pay a 2000 lion carrying fee. Should this expedition prove successful, future efforts will be made to establish a port and trading post. Representation of your respective companies will be taken into account.

As Valera goes to nail up a notice about seeking fashionable furs in Marsember, she notices Ahmed's Maztica expedition poster. She reads it quickly, then again more slowly. She looks at it for a long moment, pondering.
"'Black Horse Trading Company?' 'Our continued wealth and prosperity?'" She grins. "How very shrewd of him. Not any direct mention of Thay anywhere. Mm, well, most interesting in any case."
She nails up her own poster, and heads home to her office.

*A Captain a deep blue coat walks up past the message, stops and walks back, yelling at a scrawny sailor behind him to fetch a quill and word is sent*
Captain Neckan Blake of the Tethys, Priest of Valkur, can be found in Valkur's Roar. Look for sails with a black star aloft.
A fresh message is sent.
Offer is withdrawn for the moment as other business has arisen.
