Dear Rurin, it appears after nearly 4 months, that you have no further
responses. I'd say that I was surprised, but after 280 years, even this
old man learns. I can only assume that you have no answers for the
issues I raised, nor those of Landon and Riashain. I can also only
assume that you feel the best way to discuss the issue or compromise the
points, is to do neither.

Very well then. I shall then ask for Divine Guidance and a little bit of
luck in finding a new provider of the finest foods and drinks for the
ever patient adventurers of Sapience. I believe that the time has come
for the world to have choices. Rurin isn't the only merchant able to
provide these services, and so I think that should be reflected at the
Crystal Leaf Inn.

So the offer is made available to any qualified merchants that feel they
can offer an appropriate food and drink menu for the weary travellers.
Semanthia, for example, has the qualifications, as evidenced by the many
wares offered to the citizens of Eleusis. Or Fennila, showing the fine
menu and drink selection in the Eventide Ale House. Or Amadeo and his
nice little cafe in Cyrene. Or even Cheska, with a strong showing in the
Inn in Thera. (By the way, if you can teach me the workings of renting
rooms, so much the better).

If any of these fine people can contact me, perhaps a deal can be
reached. Any other Merchant that wishes to avail themselves of the
opportunity offered can also contact me, as a stepping stone to
Rurin-like status. For it is clear that Rurin believes himself
untouchable; unaffected by the concerns of his customers, and unaffected
by the concerns of the owner of the establishment in which he sat for
nearly 300 years. Maybe Sapience will show Rurin whether or not he is
right.
