Bastaesli Hemstead posted the annual notice regarding the Day of Zelia's Warning on the North Market Message Board.

Shimmering silver parchment crinkles at the edges, its surface irregular and pocked with tiny ink blots and faint crescent stains.  The borders are cluttered with lopsided moons, staring eyes, and chaotic doodles.  Some are scratched out while others are drawn over themselves.  Nonsense phrases and spirals wind through the margins in cramped, looping script that crowds every corner like a restless thought.  Crisp black letters decorate the center of the piece, defying the disorder surrounding it.

In the Common language, it reads:

Dear Citizens, Guests, and Friends,

As the day approaches, it only seems fair to remind the many citizens of Vornavis and Solhaven of the importance of the Day of Zelia's Warning.  It is not every day that Zelia's presence is felt on the streets of Solhaven. Perhaps once it was daily filled with the tune, even if off-key, of the lady of Chaos and Moons but it has been some time since that level of lunacy has been systematic.

That is not to say we do not appreciate the joy and laughter of those touched by the mischievous deity.  They are, of course, very dear to us and our community.  This is why the Mercantyle Guild tithes to the temple so that those with this voice have a place to feel welcome.  Just, of course, as we tithe to all the temples that dot our streets.

However, on the Day of Zelia's Warning, we find that the curtain of peaceful day-to-day activities and routines is frequently disrupted, and anything is bound to happen.

We apologize in advance for those whose days, probably nights, too, will be disrupted by the bells of Zelia's Temple.  We d like to tell you what schedule they will follow, but the best answer we could get was, "Yes."  Additionally, I m told that the Sisters of Lunacy, a clergy group associated with the local Temple of Zelia, will be greeting folks in the courtyard before the temple.  Again, I'm told that they could provide their insights at any time as the answer to any schedule is consistently, "Yes."

This year, they've provided this parchment...  We've repurposed it to be useful.

Lastly, and I m really not sure how this came to continue be but the erratic gentleman of last year is returning and has promised to keep his wanderings to the courtyard as well.  The warning seemed a little cryptic, but we thought that we should share that with you all  In case it has any relevance.

Enjoy your day, and maybe also whisper a prayer to any other deity that will listen that the Booga doesn t decide to participate in the day as well.... again.

Sincerely, the Merchantyle Guild
