[QUOTE="J. Alexander, post: 5796496, member: 28453"] It has been almost a year since you applied for a position as Steward for the Barony of Rosedown. In fact you had almost forgotten that you had applied for the position at all until one brisk morning a bonded courier appears with two letters. The first letter is on fine vellum but the signature is very shakey and reads as follows: 29 Day of Harvest Sir, Upon the advice and with the consent of my fellow barons, the barony council and various others I wish to offer you a position as Steward in the Barony of Rosedown. In compensation for your services for no less than 7 years, I offer you a land grant in the amount of 600 acres to be fully titled to your after the contract has been concluded. Should you desire to accepted this offer, please present yourself at the Baronial Council Meeting to be held exactly 60 days from your receipt of this letter. Tyler Sky Baron of Rosedown Grand Knight of the Order of the Thistle Champion of Barkon The second letter is of much finer quality and is heavy with sevearl pendants and seals and reads as follows: Sir, With the consent of Baron Rosedown, you are herewith appointed as a Steward of Rosedown and shall upon your physical presence in exactly 60 days take up the day to day goverence of said Barony with your fellow stewards. In compensation for your acceptance of this charge you will be granted a monthly stipend of 500 gold pieces payable on the first of each month for a period of seven years. Further as it is our desire to maintain and further the Barony, you shall be granted the services of squad of your choosing consisting of five men and one seargent to help you in your mission. In order that they may be of immediate assistance to you, we will cover the cost of their intial equipment up to the value of 6000 gold pieces and will stand surety for an additional amount should it be necessary. In order to help support these men at arms and to further the development of the Barony, we grant you two heavy wagons, three draft teams of 2 horses each, and supplies/foodstuffs to the value of 2500 gold pieces. We fully realize you are being required to uproot your current live in order to accept this charge and in recoginiton of your sacraifce we hereby grant you a one time stipend of 10,000 gold pieces to settle all of your current affairs and to cover the cost of builiding and setting up a new homestead.
