Hello Everyone,

Two centuries ago there was a young siren in Cyrene who's passion for
clothing wove its way throughout her life. This young siren was named
Lavinia. Her passion was seen by a skilled tailor and through an
enormous act of kindness and generosity the tailor bestowed a licence
upon the young siren so that she may put her passion into the world.

Two hundred years later the siren still sews, she still has the passion
deep inside her and she still enjoys creating something that can change
the world, even if only minutely.

This coming year, the year 535, I, Lavinia Stormcrow-Xanatov will be
sharing my gifts and blessings with the realm. My two centuries have
seen me blessed in so many ways, from my licence, to my customers and
even being recognised for my crafts and awarded a golden medallion of a
master crafter.

There will be random letters sent out with clothing for you to enjoy! I
am also doing deals on custom requests for this year and at random
giving away a custom clothing item completely free.

The biggest life-changing event for my life however was the gift of my
Tailors licence. I hope to give this gift to someone else this year and
change their life just as mine was changed.

If you are interested in being considered for this gift there is a small
competition running. The rules and regulations are as follows-

You must not be a Tailor already.
You have until the 1st of Phaestean 535 to submit entries to me.
You must send your entries to me on a SIGNED and PRESERVED letter.
You may not be an enemy to the order of the Smith to take part.
You may not be a member of the house Occult to take part.
You may not be a member of the Order of Oblivion to take part.
You may only enter ONCE.

Ok now for the major part, how do you enter!
Many of you are aware of my attention to detail and my fondness of
rarely used materials, colours, gems and adornments.
So it is your quest, if you wish to be in the running, to wow me with a
design of your own choosing and your own imagination.
Remember this design must be a Tailoring piece of art, something that
embodies your love of the thread and your passion for the craft.

Be sure to keep a look out for other celebrations and competitions. I
can't wait to see what you design!

Good Luck and Craft well,
Lavinia Stormcrow-Xanatov
Golden Master Crafter
