I can't help but agree with her, I think all the taxes are a bit high. I hope this is brought up at the next town meeting.


~Allen~

It will be Allen, it is in a few days just as a reminder (free drinks will be provided after). I can also explain my reasoning for taxes either on paper or at the meeting, if you hear me out I think it will make some sense.

Town meeting starting soon, all welcome, free drinks.

First tax week has officially passed, payments due.

Arena- Stephen Rothman / 3 Silver / PAID
Library- Waiting
Mage Tower- Grey Rose / 5 Silver / Delay Request Granted
Inn- Waiting

The Grey Rose have requested time to decide on what they will do about finding a new owner for the "Mage Tower", or known to some as the "Hospital", when used by the druids. This request has been granted, and they will be responsible for the taxes up to the point where ownership is changed. Right now this is at 5 silver.

F

Excuse my simple mind to interfere in this, but why has the mage tower or hospital to be owned by someone. Shouldn't a hospital be public ?! I suppose it is not existant in view to profit but to help people needing treatment and/or healing.
If the "ownership" refers to raise taxes for maintenance of the building, maybe this could be solved by donations, so nobody will be forced to ownership and paying taxes.

Fooser I wanted to bring this up! We have a big tavern, a big shop but a tiny little hosspital. Should we not prioritize people's health!

I must agree with Aurora in these veiws, the hospital should not be allowed to be owned, I myself will help to donate to help keep it standing.

~Jason Tanner

To respond about the hospital. This building was not always a hospital, it was owned long before it became one by the Grey Rose, then they let the building be used by the druids, and then at this point, it was called the "hospital". The druids are not seen frequently, and I can't just take away the Grey Rose's right to the building, since they were the previous owners.

F

Fooser, since I've been living on this isle, this building is known to me as hospital, excuse my lack of knowlegde.

Of course I would not expect you to take away anybody's rights or belonging. Maybe the Grey Rose would keep and maintain the building if donations will be given to them.

And I want to add that myself, being apprentice of the Druids of the Forrest, hopefully future medico, did indeed use this building to help and treat more than once, as did Nerian Finera. So this building is definitely used and, I may add as well, needed.

Aurora Mahirimah

Lennier mentioned something about possibly switching ownership to the druids, so if there are some still about, perhaps an arrangement can be made. But the building will need to be taxed nonetheless whenever the situation clears up.

F

To make clear for everyone. You also can read the contracts to this within the announcments of the Grey Rose.

The Mage Tower was built and owned maybe 20 years ago by Elminister ben Gorion, an old Knight of the Grey Rose. When he left the isle the tower was not used for a long time. The Grey Rose decided herself to find a use. The result was, that the Druids of the Forest got the right to "use" the tower than the first Hospital of Trolls Bane - The first in general at the whole Gobaith.

Now the Grey Rose is forced to find new active users for the towers. The Druids of the Forest are not active enough for us, that we want to pay the tax for them.

So we will find a new solution - propably a new ownership. But this is a decision of the Grey Rose.

~Lennier
Grandmaster of the Grey Rose~

Well, this is kind of funny, but me for my own part am really glad that I don't have to be that active at the hospital.

But of course I do see and understand your point Lennier.
I won't interfere anymore, just wanted to bring to notice that the building IS used and needed as a hospital.

Aurora Mahirimah

Perhaps something could be done not to tax this particular building, it has saved many lives, including mine atleast three times this year.
I do not have the money to pay taxes for more than a few months, but I would gladly help with any work that needs to be done to the building itself.

As stated it is up to the grey rose, I'm merely suggesting and offering help to the maintenance.

I thank everyone for their support of the hospital and for not being short-sighted on its benefit to our community, and in fact the whole of Gobaith.

In the past the tax has been waived for the hospital, as we make NO profits off of it's use. In fact, the users of the hospital, the medicos, spend their own time, energy, and coin to keep it running and to heal the citizens of the city and persons of Gobaith.
Until such a time occurs in which we make coin by its use, I recommend that the hospital remain tax-free. It is a service for the public and to have it taken away is folly.
The Grey Rose was extremely helpful in lending the use of the tower to the Druids and to Trollsbane and to ask for a tax from them seems selfish and I would never condone such a thing. Similarly, as I have explained, the Druids of the Forest has not such funds as there is never monetary compensation for our work.

Updates on the Status of Trollsbane:


Building Projects / Futre Building Projects



The Dark Blue - A project that will hopefully be underway soon, a house that I have been working to get for quite some time. I have acquired most of the materials and that will perhaps be starting soon.

Dark Grey Areas - Decent locations for possible construction inside of the town walls. If anyone has interest in building those are recommended areas of the town to look.


Royal Guards
