Over the last month the port would be brought back to life in a way that it has no doubt been lacking for near to a year. With an actively overseen port authority and proper crew listings and deckhand orders there would be an orderly presence that would encourage not only trade but free travel to and from the Eileadoran dock.

The biggest and most notable addition, however, is a Journeyman's job board. These boards are not uncommon across the land and are usually full of postings by Ship or Caravan Captain's looking for people to fill ranks on a ship, caravan, or expedition in general. A symbiotic relationship for adventurers since it allows travelers to essentially reach their destinations free of charge, nay, being paid for their services while also allowing Ship Captain's to cheaply and effectively crew vessels. It also offers honest work for those with seafaring experience.

The board would also have a section for advertising of any sort and a separate section from the Master of Ship's himself to recruit capable people for any upcoming campaigns at sea.

OOC: I use this thread to post notifications for RP plots I set up fairly regularly. You're also welcome to post your own notifications.

The first notice from the Master of Ships since the board went up was tacked on, stamped with the House Balestra crest alongside Eileadora's.

Notice to All Capable Combatants, Sailors, and Anyone Trained in Siege Warfare

The Eileadoran Navy is preparing to launch siege efforts on another establishment, to be named upon the launching of vessels, in order to protect local waters and reduce the criminal trade. Anybody who is capable with a weapon, or adept at ship or siege weaponry, is requested to report on the evening of September 29th to the S.S Faithful or any sister ship offering to accompany.

Payment will be in twenty gold, enough coin for a fine weapon or near to a month of time in the inn. Fair exchange for dangerous work."

Zelanze Balestra; Master of Ships

OOC:
This event is a cooperative rp laying siege to a secret pirate dock and keep in Eileadora's oceans. There will be a dice mechanic in which on every post you attempt to gain ground for the allied forces you roll a 1d4 and on a 3 or 4 the entire team advances. You're free to describe this however you'd like. Slaying a single skilled opponent, slaying several foes, operating cannons or siege weaponry, just made sure to make it fun for your allies! When there have been 10 successful advances, the keep will be reached. 10 more and the allied forces take the keep.
Ground is only lost if a 1 is rolled.

We'll run this at 8pm EST so anyone interested has a chance to arrive.

Another notice would go up on the board; tacked on and baring the crest of House Balestra alongside Eileadora's.

Notice to Capable Sailors and Deckhands, or Elsewise Competent Workers

On Sunday the 30th the Eileadoran Navy will be facing a small shortage of capable crewman for a patrol of the area between two of the western trade lanes. As such Master of Ships Zelanze Balestra is requesting any competent workers to crew The Faithful for a single nights patrol. Baring the unlikely the trip should be uneventful and all hands will be paid the same share any member of the navy would be, as well as receive an invite to eat with the Zelanze Balestra on his own coin.

All interested parties please register for the voyage in the shipping building and be ready to depart late afternoon on the 30th.

A new notice has been posted on the board, but this one bears only the heraldry of House Balestra and is not accompanied in any way by the Eileadoran symbol.

Quote
Leviathan Hunt in Southern Seas

House Balestra will be taking to the sea to attempt to kill the Leviathan haunting the southern seas and damaging trade in the region. Recruiting men and women experienced in combat, monster hunting, or any naval expertise. The hunt will take place midday (Noon) on the seventeenth day of the twelfth month of the standard year. Payment will be fifteen gold per individual plus a portion of the sea creatures meat from the hunt.

Zelanze Balestra; Knight Errant

OOC: This will be a short story light, combat heavy rp event this Saturday revolving around slaying a Leviathan. A dice system will be used similar to that used during the pirate event: Roll a 1d4 every post where a 1 is negative consequence, 2 is a stalemate, and 3 or 4 represent succeeding in the action.

A new notice is on the board baring the House Balestra heraldry:

Hunt of the Great White Sky Whale

House Balestra is looking for combat capable crew members to board the S.S Faithful for it's hunt of the sky whale, a physics defying mythic beast that drives through clouds instead of waves. The beat has become gradually more aggressive and, while airship traffic is not as nearly as high of a priority in our world it must none the less be kept safe and all attempts to make the beast docile have failed. This hunt with take place slightly after midday [6pm EST OOC]

Shortly thereafter, a certain chaos elemental could be seen flying overhead in giant dragon form, shouting at the top of his lungs, "I AM A SKY WHAAAAALE!!!!!"
