Sorry it took so long to get back you about this. The Herbalist' &
Apothecaries Guild present a selection of their work for the year. The
original idea would be to present things that would be suitable for
giving-out as largesse. At the request of the Queens, we have tried to
supply items in the correct multiples for them to be used in the
gift-exchange baskets that royals exchange at, um, I think it's Estrella,
but they are also happy to get individual items or smaller numbers. I
assume that they are used and/or given out.

We get contributions from different members of the guild toward the tithe,
but I alwasy seem to put of my contribution to the last moment. There's no
set contribution level or anything, I just get, well, overexcited. :)

Your group's idea of the taxes concept sounds like great fun, though!

you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry."
