[Hellsgate] Soldier PCSing to Hood wants to provide trade and largesse

[Stephanie Kohan]

Oyez! I am forwarding this to the populace on behalf of Lord Guttorm 
(unfortunately the attached pics won't transmit). He is an artisan who 
will be joining our Stronghold in the near future.

God ettermiddag, m'lady.
I am Lord Guttorm Ragnvaldsson (mka William B. Phillips), and I have a 
wonderful opportunity for you and those in Hellsgate.  Here in the 
Stronghold of Warrior's Gate, there is a textile market that encompasses 
two buildings, downtown office building size, that are five stories each 
and each has two basement levels.  The place is jampacked with textiles 
of all kinds and other accoutrements to sew, embroider, crochet, knit, 
nalbinding, or whatever else.
I have included some pictures of the aisles to show the immensity of 
product available.  They have silk, wool, linen, cotton, muslin and many 
other fabrics in a riot of colors.
I write to you, because I shall shortly be making my way from Warrior's 
Gate to Hellsgate (PCSing to Hood).
An individual I met here has preceded me to Hellsgate, one known as Grim 
the Bald (mka Kenneth Riley).
My aim, is to give a large amount of material, enough to make a complete 
set of garb, for their Excellencies, in Baronial Colors, as Largesse.
I also intend to purchase much cloth with the intent to trade in kind or 
currency.
I will also take requests to match cloth, to the best of my ability.
Please bear my wishes to all those who desire to hear,
Guttorm
P.S.  I included the Purple Brocade as an example of what can be 
bought.  Our group bought 23 yards of that. It is Purple silk, brocade 
as shown, and we bought it for 5000 won per yard (roughly a little less 
than $5 a yard, virtually a song).  Other cloth gets similar deals there.
