Salutations all,
It is my Honor to announce the opening of A lottery to share Her bounty.
Sparked by my love for the ability to harvest and share Her healing
powers with the world, the Druid have decided to celebrate my Druidic
centennial with a lottery. Guess who they asked to sponsor the prices...
For a century now I have walked this land as a Druid, only few might
still remember my darker days before that.
During this time I have devoted my life to sharing my skill. Those that
know me well are aware of this. There were times that I refilled for
enemies who, only days before, had slain me. Most call this stupid, only
few see that all are allowed to at least try to heal oneself.
Although those days are long gone, people still tend to say I did it for
the money. Think what you want. But take this from a man who has
harvested and sold herbs for a century now: if I had hunted rat everyday
that I harvested, I would have been twice as rich. Wait, than I would
have been rich.
The love for this skill, and I speak for all true Druids now, comes from
the closeness to Nature that your feel each time you pick a lobelia
seed, or plant a sileris berry. The joy of climbing the Vashnars
outermost ranges in search of that perfect valerian leave is only felt
by a special few.
And to have an excuse to have you read all this, to try and show you
what it means to be able to harvest, we are having this lottery!
LOTTERY INFO 1 for all the information you need.
You can buy as many tickets as you want at the Delosian lottery office,
at 1000 gold per ticket.
First prize: one thousand of each herb
Second prize: 500 of each herb

Fifth prize: A paid holiday to ULangi for two. This includes return
ferry fairs for two. A tent, a rug and food for a weekend. Plenty of
alcohol. Plus a matching set of him and hers "I won!" swim wear.
Enjoy,
Brunneng Blackthorn
