While rumours of My bankruptcy are greatly exaggerated, it is an uncomfortable truth that Book Sixteen payouts exceed my current holdings of golden sovereigns. As some mortals - who will, no doubt, wisely refrain from commenting - learned alongside Me, Prospero does not allow the rampant creation of coin on a whim!

I could cancel My book entirely, and either refund or keep your investments, but I am not fond of breaking My word. I could also take the gold of those of you I like the least to fund My book, and yet that would be predictable, boring, and breaking this covenant in a more abstract manner.

I turn instead to honest work, and thus announce the first ever Wayward Fair and Wares.

Join Me on any of three dates to have a chance at winning unique, one of a kind items from My vast collection of oddities and rarities in live auction. Certain intangibles will also be up for sale, so even those among you that have renounced worldly possessions will have something to look forward to! Entertainment and amenities will also be provided for a fee.

The first auction will run around the seventh of Miraman next year. It will be followed by another on the twenty-second of the same month, and then a final auction on the fifteenth of Scarlatan.

Further details, including some high-value opportunities, will follow.

Penned by My hand on the 12th of Phaestian, in the year 833 AF.
