A new Clothing Bank Coordinator is dearly needed to fill in the empty place left by the passing away of sister Demelza. Demelza leaves a noble legacy behind in her 'Clothe the Cold' campaign to make shabbily dressed poor folk in rags a thing of the past. While everyone at NHC is grieving over the lo...

As your new chaplain, I invite every Grovestrider to approach me for spiritual counseling and guidance about any issues of the heart that you may be facing as mercenaries. I am ready to deal with anything from depression and anxiety to identity crises by providing loving acceptance and treating each...

What a shame! What a shame! How did such a tragedy come to pass? Demelza will be dearly remembered for her kind and loving spirit and her good work at NHC. She was always so concerned that the orphans have enough decent clothing to wear that she often neglected her own clothing.

I can't believe that your behavior represents all the dwarves. I will wait for your comrades to reply.

The Grovestrider Darius has graciously offered the Grovestrider cave as a temporary haven for NHC and her charges. Every orphan can now have a place to shelter from the elements and a safe place to lay down their heads. Thank you to the Grovestriders for their generosity, large hearts, and warm comp...

NHC is now offering job training classes for unemployed or underemployed clients. There is job training available for cooking, fishing, carpentry, and smithing at this time. Potential students should show a passion and aptitude for their chosen professions. Job placement will be included for all suc...

I have taken great lengths to try to understand your post, but disappointingly all I can gather is that you are angry with the orphans who made use of your forge and that you will never allow them to step inside again. Please clarify if this depressing news is true.

Dear Doyen, We should be rejoicing over the young man who was born again at an NHC outreach program. I could feel his anguish as he related the bloody and violent life of suffering that he had led as an assassin. That NHC could give him an opportunity to start over and lead a new life based around s...

I have been searching for the Prince and trying to obtain an audience with him for a long time, but he does not appear to frequent his place of ruling. The dwarves have not been seen at all, but I will keep looking. If you think an old language translation would help, please provide one for the sake...

I would be happy to help arrange a celebration for the Elven New Year on the first of Elos. We should greet the new year with a 'festival of lights' with every member of the community holding up a lamp to ward off the darkness opened up by the change in years. After that there will need to be tradit...

Dear Doyen, I am sorry that you felt pressured and obliged after I shared with you and Tosti the story of the poor old widow who had barely enough money for her next meal, but donated it all in faith. The poor old widow's donation although small in amount was more pleasing to the divine than all the...

NHC is now hiring full time charity workers. If you have a heart for the children, please send me your resume outlining your job experience, personal skills, and vision. References would be a bonus.

Thanks,
Seori

I implore you to give a response...the children have been shivering in the cold for a long time.

A schoolhouse funded by NHC has been opened that will focus on teaching the Five divine values in order to train up good and upright citizens. The curriculum will be based on the solid foundation of the charity epitomized by Bragon, propriety by Ushara, piety by Eldan, fidelity by Tanora, and sincer...

To the "Free Dwarven Brotherhood": I believe that the children and sponsors of NHC deserve a response. The building which had its gates flung open and appeared to have been abandoned had begun to become a second home to the children when you arbitrarily decided to move in again and deprive...

To whom it may concern: I understand that Malze, Ingrimmisch, and Suriam used to own the corner building in Trollsbane with the banner "Free Dwarven Brotherhood" in front of it. Tialdin your old king has spoken to me of you, and I believe that any companions of such a generous and compassi...

Dear Estelwen, Thank you for caring for Pockets for all this time in place of her helpless mother in jail. It must have been burdensome and a strain for you. Pockets would be more than welcome at New Hope. I will try to cater to his special needs to the best of my ability by arranging a live fish di...

Divine services such as blessings, benedictions, prayers, intercession, spiritual counseling, and oath making are now offered in the chapel by the library. New Hope's sponsors, friends, supporters, and charges are all sincerely invited to be graced by these divine services. To access these services,...

The shelter is open and although the beds are quite full, everyone who needs a roof over their heads and a warm place to sleep in is still welcome to come in. We will try to accommodate you to the best of our ability. There are currently 7 inhabitants living inside New Hope shelter located by the No...

Achae,
I always knew the Free Druids were benevolent towards Nature. Thank you for being benevolent towards mortals as well.

Don,
That is kind and good of the Wolf Pack. The children have a place to eat and sleep at this time, but their accommodations are rudimentary and uncertain.

The Food Bank is open and serving hungry people in need. The Food Bank is located by the North gate next to the stable - please feel free to walk right in and be welcomed. We are in need of volunteers to work in shifts to man the Food Bank and distribute food when necessary.

I am acquainted with the thief in question. Joseph and I met when I was one of my rounds in the alleys of Troll's Bane looking for hungry and homeless people to serve. He seemed to be a decent lad despite showing a rebellious streak now and then. It shocks me to think that he actually pulled a dagge...

Alexander, You are welcome to volunteer for our charity event. The bake sale will need volunteers to sell the tasty treats to raise money for the opening of the orphanage. However, all volunteers need to go through a criminal record check for the safety of the children. Arabel, What a wonderful comp...

Dear Tialdin, I am full of joy that you have a compassionate heart for the children. You must be the answer to my prayers for good souls to come forward for the cause. The Fluffy Sheep Tavern would be an ideal place to hold the fund raising event. Please feel free to help in any way your heart leads...

A twin babies crib has been prepared at New Hope orphanage for the two orc cubs. Specially made baby clothing and food have also been prepared. The orc cubs are welcome to stay at New Hope until their parents are found. I will search for the parents myself if a description is given. The orphanage is...

Cookies and muffins sound wonderful! I am sure everyone will find them to be positively irresistible. Thank you for coming forward to answer the call Sam. Your compassionate and charitable heart is touching.

New Hope is planning to hold a bake sale to fund raise for the opening of our soup kitchen and shelter. Delicious treats such as apple pies and cherry cakes will be offered. If you are interested in making a difference in a child's life today, you may become a volunteer and take part in this bake sa...

To all volunteers and supporters of New Hope: It is with a grave and heavy heart that I must share this grim news with you all, my brothers and sisters in the divine. It appears that we face a trying spiritual battle in the coming days, a battle that cannot be won only by swords and words. This batt...

I hereby vouch for the existence of Etoi Tjime. He was a starving newcomer in tattered rags when I met him, and through New Hope charity I was able to clothe him in new green robes so that he would not feel the chill so much. The fact that his very existence is not even clear for some on our fair la...
