To Deryn Truthbranch ap Liam, the letter goes, You have been found to be guilty of bachelorettehood and are suspected of leading a solitary lifestyle. Despite opportunities aplenty, you now have no lass or lady on your arm. This will not do. Your singleness will be used for the good of all, and you are to be auctioned off for a day. Please show yourself promptly at (date included) morning in the grand gala room of the Earth Runes hold dressed in your most appealing outfit or look. Monetary Proceeds will go to various charities, dross will go to the coffers of Earth runes to better serve the populace. This messenger acts as witness that you received this edict.
