An interesting move; give all your money to the Crown, then immediately turn around and ask the Crown for more money than you just gave them (albeit in loan form).
Anyway.
I send the following letter to the Crown, spending 1 Favour in the process.To Queen Phillipa the Fourth,
As an investor in the recently lost Yarnu expedition, I feel it is my responsibility to do something for the families of those who lost their lives aboard said vessel. While my associates make monetary donations, I seek to make a 'donation' to the cause in the form of a polite request to the Crown. I suggest that a day of remembrance be established, in the month of High Summer, where your majesty says a few words to honour those lost at sea. Knowing that the Crown cares for them is sure to alleviate their sense of loss every year. It is my belief that this would benefit the nation, with only a minor effort on the Crown's part. Your consideration of this matter is a Favour to me.
Signed,
-Yearvent Shipping
I really should invest my remaining money, but I keep thinking that McBeardly might return any minute, and I'd love to be able to fund a voyage to the east. Then again, I suppose I could take a loan to finance that... Ah, fine.
