Lord Iresh! I was meaning to ask, could you tell me a bit about Pandemonium? Like, do you have friends or allies there you like hanging out with? What's your vision for Ecrischol, and was it always there or did you build it from scratch?

(Also I hope you're doing well! Give Morgan my regards and also this lil' bag of bubblegum rhodochrosite that should arrive after responding.)

I don't...have much in way of allies. As for Ecrischol, I built it from scratch. I hate to say it, but my earliest rendition was very rudimentary. Wooden huts and a farm I myself tended to. After a while people liked the look of what I was building, and soon I started working around them to create the monolithic city you see today. I've always taken pride in making sure the people of my city have work, food and hearth in abundance. It would not do otherwise. I originally came from the base of the tower, a lustrous fiend bound to the whims of others. I decided to strive and build away from that once I bought my freedom.

There is no need, I have everything prepared for drop in visits from Caligo and beings such as yourself.

I hope your walk through the city to my palace will please you.

Why is this on my desk?

It’s okay darling, I’ll simply look at you this way all day instead.

Goodness me, that simply cannot do… We’ll just have to visit him post HASTE to turn that frown upside-down. @coinkeeperiresh We’ll be visiting you soon! Prepare for a bounty of company!

Mister Lord Iresh!!! Hello again! I hope you and your lovely ward and city are fairing well! I was just wondering, what would you say are some key attractions of your city! How would you describe its architecture?

Good to hear from you. I keep my city running at peak efficiency at all hours, so I keep it's architecture very simple in that all cross sections in roads have their own shops, eateries, entertainment districts, educational boards and housing. Each layered the same way to avoid confusion when travelling the roads and paths between. Of course we have parks and the like inbetween every 3 and 5 cross sections to keep up a sense of variety and to as Magrim would put it "Allow nature to have its place in all things." Our waterways also run alongside our roads and under them for ease of access no matter ones terrestrial or aquatic needs.

If you're asking about how it looks...that's a little harder to explain. Our buildings are uniform and sparcely decorated unless its for advertisement, pristine black and lined with art deco gold. The roads and pavements too, are kept to a mirror shine so that light easily feeds throughout the city without the acrid glare of lamposts, and the waters are illuminated with a brilliant cyan to avoid accidental drops and to bring another light source to the city. It's warm and dark where it needs to be, and the lava caverns that surround us keep everything at an ever constant dim orange light.

Please, do feel free to visit - I'm sure you'll find many attractions no matter where you go.

Flattery will get you nowhere, but… I’ll admit the prospect of new products to sell without having to split from my own coffers is intriguing, even if I know not the contents. Of course, I would need to run test groups and read the feedback to see how it may be advertised advantageously and to whom it would appeal to. If the cons weigh out the pros…we will not be supplying it in our local chains. We need the space after all. By all means, send me a copy. I wish to read through myself. As for twin oversight, I am remiss to join up with anyone in such a manner. Whilst I do not doubt Adramut’s abilities to oversee the same rigorous testing as I, I like to review the numbers my self for perfect clarity of the situation and the profits.

Naturally! The distribution campaign will be less retail and more…myth! Finding a copy to be likened to crossing paths with a cryptid. The profit will be solely from the deluge of external goods and travelers beyond as opposed to bookshops or coffee shops stocking it. By all means, though, I’ll send you a copy post-haste via Scuttler Mail so that you can peruse. Feel free to do your own testing aplenty, as we’ve both got plenty of time to work with. Trusting but verifying is very important, especially within our organization! Just the same, Adramut’s of the same opinion you have. I do look forward to comparing what you both come up with, individually. One of the Scuttler Squads will be arriving shortly with your delivery!

Forced scarcity, how cunning.

That means it will be an endeavouring investment to be sure, one I'll need to keep an eye on.

Of course the imports in trade for such a thing do give me more to work with, but one can be too hasty to sell. I'll keep them awhile, let news of such books spread first, and their rarity. Should make for some entertainment.

@coinkeeperiresh Well, you see, I’ve taken the time to make a series of stories and the other members of the Cultural Development Division have done similarly. After this, we’ve combined them into a sort of…collection! In the form of books, fully illustrated by the myriad artists within the Cultural Manufacturing and Enrichment Department (it was across the whole department, you see). Now we’ve got a prototype, choke full of tales from myriad realms to illicit interest in others traveling beyond the realm of Pandemonium. To appeal to Fiends of all kinds! Now, as Doppel’s continued to impress upon me with her paws, entertainment value is just as needed as adding oophm to the books with a little spark of soul art. Many of the Fiends within the Tower Proper have already read and reviewed “Daydreams and Nightmares”…but I wished to get feedback to one of my most adored and cherished Rulers. Which is why, I’ve decided, to speak to you especially, with your own affairs and management roles all abound. You’ve got a heartbeat and a pulse set to Pandemonium as a whole with your city such a resplendent gem. I wished to see what you’d think of the books and what sort of impact it’d have if the rather layabout Fiends of the realm were inspired to actually get out and go for a change! How would things be impacted by a deluge of foreign goods? What would need to happen for accommodations if foreign interests decided to start finding their way back from the realms beyond Pandemonium if there was a sudden culture clash from? If a Ruler of a city, who happened to have a lovely skull-like visage and a form that gets even creative muses in a tizzy, knew of what to expect before hand…how would they respond to best benefit themselves? Etc, etc, etc. Naturally, all this will be coming from the Tower’s coffers, with the twin oversight of yourself as well as Adramut. What do you think?

Iresh! Good afternoon to you, I hope all's going swimmingly for you this fine day. I've decided to take this moment to message you through this platform to see if you happened to be, oh, free at all within the week? There's a new product the Culture Development Department has been spinning their wheels on and I wanted to get your own feedback before I plant it in Pandemonium.

...What do you have planned, sir.

We have paperwork in place before you implement new attractions, festivals and flash sales. Sir. What is it and who is paying for all this?
