Year 2 High SummerTURNTURNTURNThere must be something in the air, (perhaps Copper dust) as the companies are in a very philanthropic mood this month!
A total of seven companies contribute funds and supplies to Sir Fairweather's venture, to his obvious delight. He announces that the 'Galloping Goldfish' will be setting sail northwards at the end of summer, and hopes for a few more donations.
RiverFort LTD, Knife-Edge Trading Company, No-name Incorporated, Ashford Core and Unpleasant LLC contribute a combined total of 3.2 Guineas to the bereaved families of the 'Yarnu', an as yet unprecedented level of care by an employee.
Finally, Queen Phillipa approves Yearvent Shipping's request, and declares the middle of High Summer as Sailors Day, dedicated to the brave men and women who brave the seas. She gives a grand speech, extolling the virtues of these sons and daughters of the Motherland and reads a list of every sailor who was lost, both with the 'Yarnu', and from the other ships who suffered losses, such as the 'Repeat Visit', 'Marvelous Minnow' and 'Westsploration'. Afterwards, a festival is held by Sharks & Loans in the Main Square of the Capital, to celebrate the Motherland's maritime tradition.
