Denizens of Aetolia,

At the turn of the new year, I invite you all to participate in an
essence contest for the Twilight Lady, the Goddess Chakrasul. Indulge in
the decadent darkness of your heart and give praise to Lady Corruption,
for Her realm of Fear and Despair, of Lust and Malice, of sweet,
unrelenting Cruelty is all encompassing.

To he who pays the greatest homage to the Jade Queen there are promises
of great rewards, including slices of organs, golden sovereigns, scores
of credits, and, of course, the Lady's favor. Any and all may
participate be you undead or living, for the Lady sees the shadows in
all men's hearts. For our veiled comrades in Enorian, Ashtan, Duiran,
you men who heed Her call, we promise discretion.

The contest begins on the first of Variach and ends one year hence. Best
of luck to all participants. You do your Lady proud.

In Her service,
Lord Matlal

Penned by my hand on the 14th of Haernos, in the year 231 MA.
