3 Ashmere 87 Inter-Guild Relations Update: MOU / Lease and Windgrest Chronicle
Submitted by Lysandra Paeff
Sergeant Stoklos came by with the MOU for the North Wall Beautification project and the greenhouse lease. She waited while I reviewed them, then we took them over to the Academy to have Boudiath and Guienne review them. The completed documents are attached.
Following this meeting, I headed over to the Chronicle to talk to the editor, Anania Mosquay, who I knew from my time with the City. Unfortunately, she refused to see me.
I received a cryptic message from her later in the day, unsigned. It simply said “Beware deceit from officials.” This information was passed on to Faelina, as Sarela Rigal is planning to be on The Kenos tomorrow during the ceremony. Atlene, you might want to check in with our mayoral candidate.
Respectfully submitted,

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING (MOU)
CONCERNING THE NORTH WALL BEAUTIFICATION PROJECT AND LEASE AGREEMENT
DATE: 3 Ashmere 87
BETWEEN: The City of Windgrest (represented by Sergeant Stoklos, City Watch Logistics & Infrastructure Liaison)
AND: The Academy of Balance / Silver Spire Adventurers Guild (represented by Lysandra Paeff, Inter-Guild Liaison, on behalf of Director Boudiath Moonshadow)
I. PURPOSE & PROJECT SCOPE
The North Wall Beautification Project: The City of Windgrest hereby commissions Instructor Boudiath Moonshadow and her matriculated students from the Academy of Balance to consult with property owners and use their feedback to design and plant an ecological stabilization and aesthetic improvement project along the interior northern defensive wall.
Seasonal Infrastructure Allocation: In consideration of the encroaching winter season and the delicate nature of the botanical specimens required for this public works project, the City of Windgrest requires a controlled environment to sustain operations.
II. LEASE TERMS & PROPERTY ACCESS
Property Description: The City of Windgrest grants a no-cost lease on the municipal greenhouse facility situated just off Riverport on Landis Lane.
Occupancy & Security: This agreement constitutes a single occupancy lease. The Silver Spire Adventurers Guild shall maintain primary physical custody of the premises and has been formally issued the physical keys to the facility.
Dissolution Clause: This agreement may be dissolved at any time by either participating party, subject to a mandatory 30-day written notice.
Asset Demarcation Upon Dissolution:
In the event that the lease is dissolved, the 30-day window shall serve as a grace period for the Academy of Balance to safely relocate any private flora, tools, or personal property belonging directly to Director Moonshadow or her students.
Any flora, soil treatments, or infrastructure components purchased using municipal funds provided by the City of Windgrest shall remain fixed property of the greenhouse and the city.
III. FISCAL ADMINISTRATION & BOOKKEEPING
Exemption of Instructional Staff: To maximize structural efficiency and ensure that Director Moonshadow’s focus remains entirely on botanical execution and student instruction, she is explicitly exempt from day-to-day administrative paperwork and ledger maintenance.
Joint Record Keeping: Accountability for public assets and expenditures shall be handled via a joint record system managed directly by Sergeant Stoklos’s office and the designated Academy Steward, Guienne Caruncio.
Training Protocol: Sergeant Stoklos shall provide direct operational training to the Academy Steward regarding municipal ledger standards. The administrative procedures shall be structured so as not to be onerous or restrictive to daily Academy operations.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Memorandum of Understanding as of the date first written above.

Sergeant Stoklos, City Watch Infrastructure Liaison
For the Silver Spire Adventurers Guild / Academy of Balance:

“These… goblins?… are huge!” Corbin squeaked, running behind the massive bulk of JeOc.
He watched as Vigdis roared with laughter. Her war hammer had taken out three of the hairy mutants with a single blow. “Target practice. Good fun!”
“They’re… they’re bigger than you are, Vigdis! Watch out!”
“Ya, ya, big challenge is best fun! Oh! This naughty bugbear thinks he can scratch Vigdis? Now he pays!” She picked it up and smashed it against the ceiling of the sewer vault. It fell to the floor with a wet splat, and she stepped over it to face three more.
Corbin cringed as JeOc moved toward a group of the bugbears, leaving him exposed. Two bugbears spotted him, noticed he had only a tiny dagger, and moved forward…

Probationary Barbarian Vigdis Runa
Sector covered: 7 in The Port’s Maw (The Docks and Waterfront)
Overview: This sector is the final destination for most of the city’s waste and is focused entirely on directing effluent into the harbor or the open sea.
Structure: A massive, flat network of wide, sluggish channels leading to a few huge, brick-lined outfalls near the water level. Due to its proximity to the water table, this sector is prone to tidal flooding.
Drainage Type: Sluggish, thick effluent where the majority of the city’s untreated sewage settles before being pushed out by tide or storm. The air is thick with methane and rot.
Hazard/Use: This is the most physically dangerous section. The constant slow flow creates deep, shifting sludge (making movement difficult), and the high humidity and darkness are perfect for monsters that feed on waste and deep-cover criminal hideouts.
