Done.

I, Angelita Carder of the Salandran Temple, would like to advertise my skills as a Master Herbalist and Apprentice Alchemist. Should anyone be interested in buying herbal medicine of any kind, or divine magic in bottles, feel free to contact me. Of course all medicine and healing liquids sold are extremely low of cost, and will be treated as donations to the Temple.

I am also in the need of permanent suppliers of both wine and cotton, please contact me at soonest convenient time.

A small note is delivered to Prescia Gemfinder.

Miss Gemfinder,

I would like to list myself in your directory as an expert in the art of military drill and procedure.

Adair Thensen

//Drill Master

Miss Prescia,

I would like to advertize my abilities to the community and hopefully broaden my clientele.

I am a scribe, market gardener, alchemist and alchemy trader (merchant).

Please note I do have very good quality paper for sale should any of your contacts express any need for this type of material.

I am often seen in the northern vicinity of Cordor.

Best regards,
Pauris Sennemen de Laelith.

//i need to ask where this "yellow pages" is found first? I doubt my characters would come across it, much less be able to read it in the first place.

1. Where are these yellow pages physically located?
2. What languages are they written in?
3. Are copies of these pages in any of the outlying areas?
4. Whose paying for all these books and making them?

Assuming these are stuck in libraries (paper books are very time consuming to scribe) around the isles, that would mean those lands without libraries probably don't have copies...

1. "Information distributed to town and merchant halls in various cities"
Assume anywhere that has no restricted access to neutrals.

2. Common only.

3. Small settlements like Thordstein, the Cliff Village too. Places that do no trade and have no industry to speak of, Hidden Glade for example, do not.

4. ACTF-Gemfinder's is the publisher.

//what of the Underdark areas? Where is prescia putting the books?

*A letter is penned to Prescia*

Dear ACTF

Please list me down as:

Illithira Frostmaiden:

Master Archaeologist

Basic Tanning, Leatherworking, Trapping and Big Game Hunting as well.

Best regards

Illithira Frostmaiden.

//N.B. I doubt my other characters can either read it or in the right locations to find it so they won't go in.

*Updated versions are circulated to various towns and cities. Undercommon versions are now available in Underport*

Miss Gemfinder,

I'd like to list myself as a professional butcher in your publication. I can be reached at either the Chapel of Lathander in Cordor or at my residence in Kohlingen. Thank you for organizing this immensely useful service.

-Lance Goodthrust

//Is Johanna Hardingdale still playing? I will need an inventor and she is the only one listed.

A note is sent through Speedys:

Quote:

I am Nytasa, of Nytasa's Novelties.

I wish to be included in this listing, as both an Arcanist and an Inventor. I'm not a master of either as yet, but I have intermediate skill and knowledge in both crafts.

Thank you.

~Nytasa~

A short note is sent:

Bruce Kesselson -

Arcanist

Master Inventor

//Just a short note for addition

Jendra Galendt, Physician, aswell as other healing training and abilities, in service to Lathander whom many of the people of the area seem to forget is one of the more than one gods who focuses on healing. ((Sorry Salandrians, but when someone's bleeding out and a paladin or cleric especaily of a diety with the healing domain walk in the first instinct should NOT be to get them to your temple as fast as possible and hope they don't die on the way))

Edit:This was in no way meant as an attack on the Saladrian faith, only to point out to the citizenry that forgetting others are capable of healing aswell can lead to fatal consiquence to your friends and allies, aswell as yourself.

A poorly written letter is sent to Prescia, in a child-like scrawl,

"Dear Prescia,

I would like those that need my assistance to know that I have gathered much experience in the calling of exorcism, to the point where my peers rate me as able to lecture on the subject.

I am also an acolyte of the faith of Lathander, serving as both preacher and spiritualist, a good adviser on matters regarding such.

If anyone believes that there may be signs of demonic possession, please do not hesitate to get them to contact me immediately. I have kept track of all my exorcisms to date, and once I contact someone more literate than I, a book shall be written on the subject.

Yours,

Dawnlord Aryn Starling of the Dawnguard,
Paladin-Exorcist, Restorer of the Spirit, in the Service of Lathander the Morninglord"

A letter is delivered to Prescia for an addition to the directory.

Lady Gemfinder,

Quote:

To Prescia Gemfinder of the Amian Services Directory

Good day to you. My name is Geinz, and I am an experienced mercenary. In my time as a mercenary, I have acquired some small skill as a weaponsmith, and am looking to make this a new profession of mine here upon Amia and her neighbouring islands.

I would greatly appreciate it if you added my name to your list as a mercenary and a weaponsmith. I may be contacted via my post office box at Speedy's Delivery Service in Cordor.

Thank you in advance,

Geinz of Oxon

The status of one's reputation is known when it is bounced back to your own ears. Thus, Madrik Street has become aware that his reputation as a faction diplomat has spread. He has been told some factions have even delegated Madrik to act as their diplomat when the need arises.

This will suffice for him. Madrik Street adds his name to the directory, but neglects to mention his other jobs.

The 1st Amian Publishing Company offers its services to mapmakers
and scholars as a provider of blank paper. We also offer publishing and
advertising services for authors and other writers, as our name implies.

Our deepest apologies to those customers which have contacted us with
need of our listed services over the past several months. The 1st Amian
Publishing Company is currently nonoperational and cannot respond to
any such requests. If in the future we recover from our current operational
failure, we will attempt to contact every entity from whom we have received
notice of intent to purchase our services. Thank you for your understanding.

Information is sent in to Prescia Gemfinder's service in the form of a square of parchment, each stroke of ink lovingly applied with a disciplined hand.

The labors of my garden as the fruits upon which others may savor are offered thus —
Papyrus for the learned with which to inscribe their experiences and observations,
to feed bindings that hunger for knowledge and record. Fresh carrots, turnips, onion
and cabbage, bounties painstakingly tended with care utmost upon which to sup and
nourish. Barley, raw sugar, tobacco, herbs of the finest variety to appease the tastes
of mortal and divine alike, in religious ceremony or personal revelry. Weave fibers of
purest cotton for attire, decoration, or medicine. Enchant the mundane with the beauty
and fragrance of flower blossoms to honor new life, joined souls, or the beloved passed,
or simply adorn an elegant garland on each day.

All that which grows in my garden is bred to be hardy and withstand the seasons and
thus availability is most times of the year. Direct correspondence is preferred via the
League of Travelers, Halifast's Lodge.

A well drawn up looking flyer finds its way to prescia, looking somewhat like this
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Find me and my collegues in cordor market hall, and occasionally elsewhere,
various wares including rings, armour, shields and weaponary.

And weaponsmithery related task can be arranged with glyph for a nominal price

Come see our wares today! competative prices, don't be afraid to ask
