January 2008 Entry: a thousand welcomes

[Gamerprinter]

Let's see if I can get this month's challenge done in four days - I've got lots to do this month, so I can't dedicate to a big project like most of my challenge entries (all my own fault, of course!)

In the grand city of Calishem of the Caliphate of Umir, the Merchant Prince Syed Hussain Aidid has secured a ten year contractural agreement with the Turgan Horde in the delivery of ten dragon eggs, the rarest commidity of the east. This agreement comes just days away from his birthday, so he is celebrating this mercantile victory with a party spectacular - effendi and infidel alike, visiting lords, great merchant houses and dignitaries throughout the realms.

WIP - the cover of the folded invitation, a purple ribbon holds it together pinned with a mountain marigold and Sutyrean Butterfly - both rare and exotic.
