Greetings everyone,

I rarely write on these boards. But I had to write in response to
Amitation's post about Ashtan selling stolen goods. If his post was
directed to a particular person then forgive me. From what I read it was
very general. I own two shops in ashtan. And I spend 100s of thousands
of gold pieces stocking them. I have never had to resort to stealing to
turn a profit and I'm sure the same applies the majority of the
shopkeepers in Ashtan.

I don't know about this herb ban except what is posted and what I hear.
I don't see any relevant reason for it but it's there and in effect. If
the rest of the world decides to shun Ashtan then I hope they do it
because the rumors being bandied about sound like they have merit to
them.

Anyway now I'm kind of upset because I wasted my gold on this post.
Anyone want to reimburse Me?

On another hand I propose a general population auction of unsuspecting
people to new masters. It appears to me that the current owners aren't
doing a good enough job. Starvation is rampant and poverity is on the
rise. Sudden storms are appearing over the desert areas and the sheep
are lording it over the lions.

All hell's breaking lose and we're all standing around with arms akimbo
in welcome.
