Kaatya

Greetings! Part of the contingency that was welcomed into the empire with Kaatya included several crafters who have grand-mastered the skills of Alchemy, Bowcraft, Tailoring, Mining, Smithing, Scribe, and Tinker. They stand ready to contribute their time and effort. I've been adding gold to the locked-down piles at Olympus. I hope that is alright. If so, perhaps we could establish a location with locked-down containers for the various resources needed, such as gems, hides, ingots, boards, feathers, zoogi, powders, etc. Members could make donations at any time. The few select administrators of the resources would be the only ones able to gain access by unlocking the items when needed. Resource procurement is one of the requirements for knighthood, but I don't think it stops there. We are a group of great people. Surely we don't need a system for donation score-keeping. Last point. Perhaps the House of Trades could maintain a modest inventory of certain items, such as the keg example cited in Steel's initial post. Maybe have two or three of each potion type on hand for ease in distributing to members as needed, instead of having to notify an Alchemist that a keg was needed and having to wait for that Alchemist to deliver, and then getting back with the member so that the keg could be picked up. Because we are not all online at the same time, I think the inventory method is advantageous. However, I'd not want to devour some house's available storage with items gathering dust. We can't do this with all items, especially armor and weapons, but maybe we could pursue it with some. Strength and HONOR! Kaatya

Cute, cute, cute!
