*A tall blonde haired woman, muscular and athletic, dressed in heavy plate and bearing a large bladed sword on her hip stands atop a stall in the Trade square crying out over the crowds around her to gather attention. Once a sizable crowd has stopped or gathered to see what it is she has to say she begins in a loud voice used to shouting at people on the battlefield.*
Some of you may know me, many others may not. I am Sasha Tomyris, formally from a village outside Fort vehl. By now I imagine that most of you, unless you have been hiding under a rock these last few days will know of the war in Kuhl in Belinara. Well, Now Westgate has fallen, the Queen has been driven from her country and people die every day as dragons fly over the land and darken the skies with the places they burn and destroy.
Some of you may think this is far from here, that it will never affect you but you only have to remember the Dragon attacks on Leringard and Mariners Hold to know it is never to far for a Dragon!
I come to you now, I call upon those of you who cannot or are unable to carry a sword into battle, who cannot stand on the front line with me, to help like people just like you did in the Bloodstone Wars. People like you stood up and were counted, you did what you could when you could. I tell you now these people need your help. We need your help!
Kuhl needs to be saved...and in so doing we can drive these Dragon cults back to where they came from and put an end to the Dragon threats they use against us.
I personally have donated 400,000 true to this cause to start the ball rolling. Sala Stonehill pledged 50,000 true...how much will you donate? What will you donate?
I Challenge you!
// If you are willing, particularly the guilds!, please list here what you are willing or able to donate and then hand the stuff over to a GM to dispose of on behalf of Kuhl please.

*Daniella hears the call*
I will donate food to be distributed amongst the people in need. I do not have much, but I will give all that I can and continue to do so.
-
*In amongst the crowds, many different sorts eye the woman speaker as she rants. Some simply go on about their business, others bother to stop and wonder long enough to hear. Yet others make a note, and slink away into the darkness with guarded expressions and hidden thoughts.*
-
*Sasha returns from other market places and once again takes a stand repeating her message from above!*
-
Daniella finds an appropriate person to donate food items to and donates:
1 deer roast
2 roast feline
3 loaves of wheat bread
2 loaves of rice bread
15 bottles of apple juice
4 bottles of cranberry juice
1 blackberry pie
She smiles at the person and assures them that as soon as she has more food she will donate all she can
-
Sasha thanks those who have come forward but in a clear voice announces:
"Is that all? Is that the best you can do? What happened to all the hype about helping out? About playing a part? Heres your chance... seems like is all bulls doodo and bravado. Come on people! You can do better than this...Kuhl needs you...we all need you!"
-
* after much time after her first initial appearance, Sall walks through Hempstead and catches sight of her making her speech once again to the crowds.
Dressed in a tattered old coat, with a discoloured old sword and shield on his back, he listen's intently a moment....
... before turning around and walking away.*

Dearest Sasha,
There are others in the progress of considering the extent of their aid in this matter, but who has yet not reached a definite conclusion of what their capabilities would be.
With warm embraces,
Alleina Shiante
Priestess of Ilsare

Katrien pens a note to Sasha:
Dear Sasha,
The donation crates of the Foundation are at your disposal. You will need to arrange collection to shippers and make records of tally to the Foundation to appease city council.
Katrien.
// I will have limited in game exposure but if you want to use the foundation crates as a point of collection I will suspend Foundation collections and let you use them. It means that you will be responsible for keeping them emptied and submitt a tally in the Foundation forums or regular forms so it can be tracked.
If you are looking for the Foundation to do it then the crates will fill up fast and not get emptied until I have time and energy to do it. In RP terms we would but real life had me thinking of locking the doors again because I taking a break from layo for a couple of months.
-
*listens to her voice and once most of the crowd moves, on walks up to ask*
Will clothes be taken? Even simple robes? If so, I'll supply you with a wagon load.. I mean a big wagon load!
-
*She looks at Tod and smiles* Of course Sir, all that can be spared is welcome.

There are 31 robes here, I'll work on more, hopefully these will be used well.

*Once again Sasha climbs up on the soapbox and calls out the following.*
I have just returned once again from Belinara and know this! You may think you are safe! You may think here that a war half a world away can never come to you...but know this.
Westgate has fallen! Kuhl is all but in the hands of the enemy. Now it appears Nesar is capitulating to the Dragon Stealers giving them control over almost the entire northern half of Belinara.
Still no interest? Well let me tell you this little fact! The Dragon Stealers have spies moving through Arnax, this is how it began in Kuhl, and even worse.....Nesar have agreed to supply the Dragon Stealers with FLEETS! Not a few ships! FLEETS! Now I see some of you understand the import of that fact! With fleets suddenly Mistone is not so safe! Belinara is just an ocean away! Soon you may have Drachs, Dragons and Dragon Stealers running around in your own front yard! Then what will you do! Will you yell and cry out I should have aided the Queen of Kuhl sooner?
Now is the chance, now is when we must drive and drive hard to bring what resources we can to Queen Alise, General Telos and Lord Alexander in their mission to gather an army in Hilm to drive out the Dragon Stealers for good!
I Challenge you!

*Sasha sweeps her gaze over the crowd.*
Come on! What is wrong with you people? Dont you see? The war is coming! Others are dying right now to prevent them spreading to here....they need help!
-
*Chakar steps up, and informs Sasha that he will donate 10,000 trueweight coins to this cause*
