Today, I had the pleasure of conversing with Lady Aille, the esteemed organizer of our city’s grand 15th anniversary celebration. As I entered her well-appointed office, I was immediately struck by the impressive board she uses to keep track of the myriad events she has planned. Her dedication is truly awe-inspiring.

Lady Aille welcomed me warmly, and we settled into a comfortable discussion. She shared with me the story of her past, a tale marked by an accident on the Olni river that left her with little memory of her life before. Despite this, she discovered a remarkable talent for working with cloth during her recovery, a skill that has since become a cornerstone of her identity.

Our conversation turned to the upcoming celebration. Lady Aille spoke passionately about the challenges she has faced in organizing the event. From sourcing animals to coordinating schedules, her journey has been fraught with obstacles. Yet, her resilience shines through, a testament to her unwavering commitment to our city.

She expressed gratitude for the support she has received from various citizens and kajirae. Captain Falconer and her Companion Isnala have been invaluable, as have the enthusiastic efforts of the kajirae Flower and Dezora. Even I have had the honor of contributing to this monumental project.

As we discussed the cultural impact of Port Olni, Lady Aille and I found common ground in our admiration for the city’s sense of community and pride. She spoke of the unity among the castes and the welcoming nature of our people, qualities that have undoubtedly contributed to our city’s longevity.

Lady Aille’s dedication to her role as Reveler, supporting events across the city, is a reflection of the spirit that defines Port Olni. Her efforts, along with those of many others, ensure that our city continues to thrive and celebrate its rich heritage.

I agreed with her sentiments, noting the many who toil behind the scenes. Lady Zz, our Inn Keeper, stands out as an effective recruiter and facilitator of social interaction. The kajirae, led by Master Slaver Datian and Mistress Raven, provide for the needs of our community. The Ubar’s kajirae support the city’s management with their expertise and compassion. The addition of survivors from Thentis has only strengthened our city further.

Lady Aille emphasized the importance of stepping up and supporting each other, a quality not always found in other cities. She reminded us that it is the people who make Port Olni a great place to call home, and everyone should be proud of their contributions, no matter how small.

As our conversation drew to a close, I asked if there was anything else she wished to share with the people of Port Olni. She reiterated her gratitude and pride in our community, encouraging everyone to continue their efforts. For those wishing to help with the celebration, she can be contacted directly or through the box for parchments outside her door on the Street of Coins, next to the Merchant Hall on the second floor.

I left her office with a renewed sense of pride and anticipation for the upcoming celebration. Port Olni’s strength lies in its people, and together, we will continue to thrive and celebrate our rich heritage.
