Hail All,

I'm curious about one's personal character biography, and I've read some really entertaining, well-written, and fascinating autobiographies. Then again, I'm always interested in a good read.

Man, 7.5 million gold... By the teats of the Sake Goddess, I could purchase 7.5 million gold's worth of tomato soup, bowls of potatoes, legs of lamb, cooked breads, and wheels o' cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese. That's a feast that would last for 69 MONTHS!

How many months of feasting is that, Xel The Wanderer? *smiles*

Whispering Rose Radio generously donated 500k gold to the Kingdom of Dawn prize fund, so TAO made a matching donation. We would like to challenge other guilds to match WRR's contribution, too.

Someway, somehow, I'll work out the costs for a luxurious 69 month feast! Perhaps purchase some of the expensive stuff!

Maybe I can hire these talented folk...

Ah, belly dancers. Every household should have at least two or four or sixty-nine.
