* kinda want a subscription for Sand as well, but how you'll deliver to Tathaigh Isle I do not know.
One man's trash is another's treasure, and one man's cash buys another's pleasure.
So I'll rob from the cradle, and I'll rob from the grave; it's just human traffic, and I'm just a slave.
As many of us will recall, for such matters tend to linger in the short-term memory of the people, the Vampyre Invasion of Misthalin in the early sixth age was a terrible ordeal for the general populace. No less for the royalty, who suffered even as greatly as many of their supporters. However, in these times of renewed prosperity, I believe it to be an important quest to look back and look upon those who were captured by the Invasion Force, mindful of their ordeal.
We should reach out to those fortunate, or unfortunate, few instead of ignoring their plight in the personal life by simply placing a statue to commemorate their suffering. After all, the statue will do nothing to help ease the difficulties the escapees are facing in their quest to readjust to a normal life after their experience.
Please write an article about a topic of your choosing.
Those of us who have been following the recent political and military upheavals may have had a number of questions and concerns, mostly to do with the fate of the common man and the relations of the new grouping of kingdoms across what used to be a unified Kandarin and a disparate Asgarnia. Rightly, these questions are the first to be asked; but once the dust has cleared, we must ask other questions.
In the old tales, the story would end when the new king took the throne and lived happily ever after. But in the real world we must ask: how will these kingdoms survive? In particular, I am talking of cold, hard currency.
No merchant, tax man or tradesman can have failed to notice the recent dearth of new businesses. These businesses form the lion's share of many kingdoms' treasuries, but where are they? Avery Enterprises, once a welcome sight on any tax collector's ledger, has not been heard of for many months. The smiths of Ardougne, Falador and Varrock, world-renowned for their abilities, have gone quiet; their adverts and flyers have not been seen for a long while. Travelling traders do not advertise their routes, however much business it may drum up to do so, due to fear of opportunistic bandits and footpads. The trade routes between kingdoms, likewise, are quieter than they should be if prosperity is what's desired.
Will these new rulers invest time and money in new, budding entrepreneurs and artisans? Or are we on the cusp of a return to the dark old days, where tyrants like the dreaded Garth Downey funded their economies through an irresistible process of conquest and exploitation of seized resources? I believe we all hope for the former, but if something does not change soon, I fear for the fate of us all should the latter come to pass.
One man's trash is another's treasure, and one man's cash buys another's pleasure.
