The sheet has a subtle verdant sheen, and carries the faint scent of oleander and pine. Centrally positioned at the top of the page is the House Sylvanfair crest, detailed in dark green and black inks. Written with a practiced hand in perfect common, the penmanship is neat with occasional flourishes.Sylvanfair Manse
The Oak Grove, Ta’Illistim
26th day of Imaerasta, in the year 5116.My dear friends,
As I’m sure many of you are aware, a matter of grave urgency has arisen concerning our half-elven brethren. Many are leaving their homes in the Turamzzyrian Empire because of persecution and plague. They are fleeing in such haste that they have little time to gather their belongings. I attended an audience with the Argent Mirror last night to learn more about their plight and it struck me that we could extend the hand of friendship to offer help during this difficult time.
I propose that House Sylvanfair open the doors to the Manse in Ta’Illistim as a refuge but I need your agreement to do so. The Illustrious Mirror stated that they would be granted sanctuary in Cysaegir but she is reluctant to permit access to Ta’Illistim for fear of spreading the disease. Many of the refugees may wish to travel onwards, however, so I feel that we are ideally situated on the Sylvarraend Road and far enough from the city walls to be of no concern to the Council of Thrones and citizens.
I beseech you all to look into your hearts and agree with me that we should act quickly to avoid any further suffering. Please let me know your thoughts or if you wish to meet and discuss the matter further; I am, as always, at your disposal.

OOC: If you are all in agreement, I think this would be a perfect opportunity for Sylvanfair to shine and become involved in the developing storylines both in the Landing and the Elven Nations. It sits nicely with our charter and I hope we can take it forward. If I get the go-ahead from you, I’ll discuss with the fabulous Elidi about turning off the door/windchime mechanics at the annex to allow open access to the Guardian Hall. Perhaps then we could arrange a clothing/food drive type event in collaboration with elven MHOs such as the Alliance of High Elven Society, Wyvern’s Honour and the Ilyan Syndicate. I’m excited about this!
This is a cross-post with the CHE/Sylvanfair folder and our own House boards so feel free to respond wherever suits and I don’t mind if it’s IC or OOC.
