As a Cormex rider runs hard out of the city, a single poster is affixed to a board outside the Alizarin Institute.
The fires still burn, and the smoke still swirls. We all see what has been delivered upon our fair country by the unfair forces of above us and within us.
This destruction need be neither the end of things before nor the sign of things to come, for whenever a tree falls an opportunity to plant another in the place of it is born. When our minds can grasp to this idea tightly, and hold it close through the darkest moments, we as a people shall thrive. We have not destruction to fear, but only the quaintness of apathy to visit worry upon our souls.
Be it known that the Alizarin has no apathy to our fates. We are prepared to step forward and visit not the flames of our dragon claw, nor the dirges of our black harp, but the hope of a future better than our past.
Even as this circulates, the monies are being raised, and the Cormyte workforce contracted to make this so.
To this end, I call on the wealthy few of the land to give of themselves and their greedily encumbered coin purses, myself and mine included. Not as charity, for the citizens of this land have no need of gifts born of pity, but as a financial investment in the future security and prosperity of all citizens of this country.
At the Alizarin Academy we feel deeply the responsibility to leave this country better than we found it, and to this end I call on the support of the public - of the wealthy and the downtrodden, of the local born farmer and the foreign born noble - to make this opportunity into a reality for the people of Suzail and Hilp.
It is my word as my honor that I, Card of Marsember, as I have been born among you, raised among you, and made my life among you, am of you, and will do any and all things in my power to secure for us our just fate in this world. However, I can not do this alone.
Donations to the reconstruction fund will be matched to triple their original value out of the personal accounts of Card of Marsember, Alizarin Headmaster, up to a match amount of one million Golden Lions. Donations may be delivered personally to any Alizarin Master or to Majordomo Shoeman.
Citizens of Cormyr
The fires still burn, and the smoke still swirls. We all see what has been delivered upon our fair country by the unfair forces of above us and within us.
This destruction need be neither the end of things before nor the sign of things to come, for whenever a tree falls an opportunity to plant another in the place of it is born. When our minds can grasp to this idea tightly, and hold it close through the darkest moments, we as a people shall thrive. We have not destruction to fear, but only the quaintness of apathy to visit worry upon our souls.
Be it known that the Alizarin has no apathy to our fates. We are prepared to step forward and visit not the flames of our dragon claw, nor the dirges of our black harp, but the hope of a future better than our past.
Even as this circulates, the monies are being raised, and the Cormyte workforce contracted to make this so.
To this end, I call on the wealthy few of the land to give of themselves and their greedily encumbered coin purses, myself and mine included. Not as charity, for the citizens of this land have no need of gifts born of pity, but as a financial investment in the future security and prosperity of all citizens of this country.
- The Alizarin aims to rebuild those homes and businesses of Suzail and of Hilp that will otherwise, only long after the city centers are restored to and beyond their former glory, be hastily patched over and left then to fall in the short years to come, so that the boys and girls of this nation are able to grow up strong enough to take up the purple that defends our walls and wages our just and necessary wars.
- The Alizarin aims to reshape the ashes of the dock side residences to provide the hardest working citizens of Suzail with the medical facilities all have so long known they require to lead the most productive lives available to them and our nation but none have yet been able to provide.
- The Alizarin aims to construct a primary education facility for the children of that district, for it is only through personal ignorance that our bodies, minds and souls can be bound by another against our will.
At the Alizarin Academy we feel deeply the responsibility to leave this country better than we found it, and to this end I call on the support of the public - of the wealthy and the downtrodden, of the local born farmer and the foreign born noble - to make this opportunity into a reality for the people of Suzail and Hilp.
It is my word as my honor that I, Card of Marsember, as I have been born among you, raised among you, and made my life among you, am of you, and will do any and all things in my power to secure for us our just fate in this world. However, I can not do this alone.
