Hello everyone, I hope you're all having a good day. My name is Jayce Talis and I have a business in Cadens with my partner Viktor. We're inventors and scientists back home, and we've adjusted to life here creating a variety of objects that might be of interest to people. I'm a blacksmith so primarily my work involves blades, tools, both regular ones and multi-tools, shields, canes, and collapsible versions of everything I make as a family expertise.

[Viktor, for his part, is a bit more to-the-point.]

We’re also in the business of custom projects. Given an idea, I’m reasonably certain we would be able to bring almost anything from concept to completion. Within reason, of course–we’re still working under certain technological limitations, but if a particular tool or device is of interest to you, it’s worth describing to us. We’ll see what we can do.

We wanted to let people in Cadens know that you can come to us and request what you're looking for. We give 15% off everything for the Summoned, but if you're new to the area and can't pay, you can consider anything on loan until you can save up. No hurry, we know it's hard to get started. Unfortunately we're not 100% sure if they'll let us ship these things to the other locations right now, but if that changes we'll let you know. Sorry.

Something that’s also of interest to us is the general working conditions of the mines in Cadens. We have a few ideas for basic improvements and increased safety, but any work we do will require the removal of outdated equipment. Unsurprisingly, the government is not necessarily keen on funding such an endeavor.

So what we're hoping for are volunteers in Cadens who are willing to do some heavy lifting with us to get the dangerous old machinery out of there. It is a volunteer situation although we'd be happy to make you something in thanks.

If there is interest, Jayce and I plan to extend an invitation to our domain, to exchange notes. A meeting of the minds, of sorts, for those of us who are more scientifically-inclined.

We'd really love to pick the minds of fellow scientists, inventors, or tech experts from all locations.

Thank you for your time!

That's interesting, what's your background, if I can ask?

[ Ah yes, that slight feeling of Regret™ when one realizes their vagueness wasn't so vague, even if asking for something like credentials makes sense. ]

Government. But the mostly efficient, definitely hands-on-and-out-there-doing-it-myself kind. That'd include planning transports to and from places, taking stock of supplies, tracking plans and documents and all the follow ups and negotiation on it all. You name it, I probably did it.

[ Yep. "Government." ]

Ah, got it. I did a little of that myself, although not for that long. I was briefly a politician.

Even if it was briefly, you still know what it's like, then. I wouldn't say I was a politician, exactly, but I had to deal with that side of things pretty often as well. Can't say it was always nearly as enjoyable as seeing a project to fruition to... say the least.

And I can't claim to know the ins and outs of the technology you both specialize in, but if you ever need assistance with drafting documents or contracts up I may be able to help with that, too.
