Anything to gain coins,

how nice of you.

Matters are in hand to resolve this situation.
To clarify.
Trollsbane will charge a flat fee of 250 copper. This buys us the right to work and trade in Trollsbane as normal. This right is set for 3 months. After that it will be reviewed and you may have to pay again.
You do not have to pay the tax if you are buying from traders in Trollsbane or are just visiting the town. The tax is payable if you wish to sell your wares, use Trollsbanes tools or facilities or gather resources from within the limits of trollsbane.
As a sidenote Marie and Faladron have already paid the tax. I am sure that, for a small fee, they will be willing to sell your items for you in Trollsbane.
Of course you can always trade elsewhere. Maybe an opportunity for a merchant to visit Varshikar to collect goods to be sold in Trollsbane.
There are many ways around this tax. And negotiations are already under way to solve the problem anyway.
To Marie and Faladron, Varshikar will not see you out-of-pocket in this matter. You will be compensated. Even if I have to give you my last copper to do so.

I offer my services as a mediator for trade in between Varshikar and Troll's Bane. My fee will be 10% of the agreed price.
Please send me a message or meet me in town if you are interested.

Regarding the tax... how will this affect us other factions not connected to Varshikar? are we allowed to trade as usual or do we have to leave?

How are we to identify the people of Varshikar? are we allowed to trade with them in Trollsbane, even if we are not citizans?

Which tax are you referring to?
The Varshikar tax applies to all non Varshikari, excluding citizens of Tol Vanima and anyone who has obtained a right to pass.

If you mean the Trollsbane tax would it not be better to ask the authorities in that town. It is their tax after all. However, since I am a helpful person I will give you my thoughts on the matter.
The trollsbane tax applies only to Varshikari.
Identification is easy. Firstly you could ask or you could look to the list of citizens included on this wall. You can trade freely with Varshikari. However the Varshikari may only buy from you, not sell to you, unless they have already paid the tax. In which case everything is fine and you can trade as normal. Clear?
Good.

Jeremy

Just a question.

If a citizen from Varshikar came into Trollsbane traded then ran into Varshikar while being chased down would you shelter your citizen or let them take him for the wrongful tax?

Unsighed

Don't worry Jeremy, I swear I'll "use" their resources for good now that I've payed taxes for them so if trees start to be a rare sign around Trollsbane, it might be me...
I payed for them anyway...

To the writer who failed to leave his mark.

Firstly if the citizen traded (meaning was selling his own wares) the tax is not 'wrongful'. And by fleeing he would show he knows he is doing wrong.
I doubt the Guard would consider non-payment of tax worth chasing someone all the way to Varshikar for. But said person would most likely get a poor reception upon returning to Trollsbane. Finally our leaders and diplomats who are working to reach agreements over this would take a dim view of any who would jeapordise their efforts.

Warning! I would like to ask the city state of Varshikar to please hand over the human convict known as Monk Joshua Bichmond to the city of Trollsbane if he is seen as he is known to be in hiding in your city. However only experienced fighters are advised to try to kill or capture him as he thought to be heavily armed.

He is wanted by a private group of people from this island and also by several guilds due to the murders and attacks on several guild members, I also believe he is wanted by the Troll's Bane Guard.

Thanks once again for your co-operation,

Igrine Redbeard, Page of Kallahorn

No.

This handwriting is the same as 'gabon's' in the other thread... i wonder if its the same person... this seems to be a trick...

Who wouldn't want Joshua given over? Joshua himself....[/i]

Matters are in hand to resolve with a flat fee of 250 copper by Faladron.

Kl'urk waits at the messagewall and looks who writes the messages, once he see the one writing he takes his waraxe and walks to him, grabbing his arm, he grins broadly and his eyes glow of fightlust. With a minatory voice he speaks

Gotcha! Now you Kl'urks, Kl'urk get much coins for head, Yubba! Har har!

((... Worst RP ive ever seen, im not playing along.))

((So says the one who magically escaped. Work it out a little with Kl'urk))

((his reasoning was that the walls are IG and are watched 24/7 or some shit. whatever. Enough OCC, im going to be bitch at by a GM. and im not in the mood whatever. If you want josh fine. he'll be drunk and unconcous on the east gate - log on whenever ready))

((Kl'urk got the job to take joshua and the lizard down, and he was told that they are near greenrbair or varshikar, so he just lurked around there and waited. and i just wanted to show you that it isn't so easy to write again and again at the wals as a searched criminal. but enough ooc now))

Varshikar and King Arist,

This man is not, as far as I'm aware, wanted in the land of Varshikar. Go search for him in Trollsbane, where he is a wanted criminal.

Moskher of Varshikar

Dear Moshker,

I would like to say that I am appaled at the way The Varshikari, or at least you, treat visitors to your land. Today I had been hunting ogres and on my way back to Troll's Bane I stopped off at the depot in your City to get a Potion to help me heal as I was badly injured. There, I saw you having an argument with Kamik after which you decided to treat me with much hostility and unfriendliness and proceeded to try and set me alight at which you singed me badly on my rump. I hope we can settle this.

Yours truly, Igrine Redbeard Page of Kallahorn and friend of Varshikar.

Igrine,

Next time it would be wise not to raise your blade to your friends, or come armed with a member of the Trollsbane guard at your side, or steal resources in a land where you have no right to.

I will not tolerate those who collect taxes for Trollsbane and then avoid paying the same when in our lands. Don't have high expectations for a friendly welcome next time I see you thieving, either.

I Am,
Moskher of Varshikar

The guard of Trollsbane have a peculiar love of our land. Rumors float that they came, armed to the teeth, hunting through the Kumdul Desert. Unless I see an official denial, there will be a tax owed for each of them.

Kamik Windlasher was caught by myself with many friends along with him, one who likes to play with axes. He accepted responsibility for his friends, and thus owes 1000 copper for his trespass.

I Am,
Moskher of Varshikar

Moskher, if I am not mistaken Gabon Corad, A Knight of Kallahorn, swore an oath to protect Varshikar. As such I assume that the Knighthood is free to come and go in Varshikar for if one swears an oath the entire family must help uphold it.
If you do not want this protection continue to harass and tax this Knighthood as they walk your lands keeping it safe.

Stephen Rothman
First Knight of Kallahorn

Dear Moshker,

I would like to inform you that I was not actually accompanying Kamik to the city and that he only said this so as to shift the blame from me because I would like to point out that he is a very noble human. Also I would like to ask you to remove the fine placed on him and I would like to help your city in some other way to pay it back. I would like to point out that it would be easier if I could pay this in services rather than coppers as I am very poor, my money is given to others to aid them, rather than spent on worthless material things of which I have no need for.

Yours truly Igrine Redbeard, Page of Kallahorn & friend of Varshikar.

Stephen and his Knighthood,

The issue with the orc, Gabon, was already settled and related to the fact that he was there with several trespassers and did not explain to me who he was. Only after the fact did he do so, and I apologized to him directly well before you took time out of your day to write on this parchment.

Your other knight threatened me with an axe, and if he deigns it fit to do so again he will find more than singes on his backside. Perhaps if he were protecting the city at that moment by expelling foreign guardsmen, I would have been much more friendly.

Kamik's taxes still stand. This is not our first visit from the guardsmen and they should be more wise. They can act as thieves and bandits in their hometown, if that is what they consider as correct ettiquette of a guardsman.

I Am,
Moskher of Varshikar

Truspassers?....me was der by mesself, or by person me knows was citizen of Varshikar. It non yoos buisness who mes talkin wif in Trolls Bane yoos nut of Trolls Bane and mes was no where nears Varshikars land. ME respects yoos laws of the North and me has talked ter yer King, me has nubber dissobeyed any of yer laws, including bringin truspassers ter yer lands.


Igrine is young page and does not knows da ways of the Knights of Kallahorn. Mes will talks wif him bout him raizen his blade twards anyone of Varshikar. He still needed learn much and maby wif in the years he wills.


GAbON

Worrior of Varshikar

Dear Lords of Varshikar,

I would like to request your acceptance of me becoming a citizen of your kingdom. If this is not possible by sending a note then I will attempt to find you to ask you this favour.

Signed Sadare Cachtor

The man Kamik Windslasher is not allowed within the northern lands until the matter concerning his discourteous way, and his treatment of Stephanie is resolved. if he is spotted within the lands, he is to be removed with the tax collected in full.

Aristeaus
Lord of Varshikar

Indeed. He currently owes us 1250 copper pieces. No doubt he truly owes us more, but a man of such low moral standing would be the last to admit to his trespasses. If he is found in Varshikar, collect the tax (adding another 250 copper to his fine), or collect his hide. On the occasion of the former, make sure to escort him out afterwards.

Happy Hunting,
Moskher of Varshikar

((Guys, I'm trying to get the Varshikar rebuilding quest together, but right now I'm waiting on other things. Sorry. This is as important to me as it is to you. I'm trying.))
