The Golden Hart's reputation as a safe and welcoming meeting place for all of Arx seems to be growing and many people from across the city are being regularly seen enjoying its many pleasures. In a final effort to help settle the city's remaining refugees the Golden Hart, under the direction of the Princess Valencia and in partnership with the Silver Consortium under the leadership of Prince Cicero Velenosa, donated at total of 2,000 economic worth of silver and goods to be put to good use in aiding all those who remained displaced by the siege.
But Valencia was not done. Shortly after the completion of that project, there was a shocking attack upon Thrax ships in the harbour. With loss of life, ships and livelihoods leaving a truly devastating mark upon the lives of many people, once again the Golden Hart, under the Princess' able direction, took up the cause to raise support to help assist those most seriously affected and in need quickly recover. Joining forces, the Princess Valencia and Princess Alarissa hosted a Pennants Ball. Both princesses vowed that any and all donations raised would be given to the cause, including two substantial personal donations from the princesses themselves. As hoped many rallied behind the cause and the event was hugely successful, raising more than 1,281 economic worth and 706 worth of military writs worth of silver and goods to aid the city in this important task. It was truly wonderful thing to see to see so many come together to support the cause.
As thanks for all who contributed time, money, or efforts Valencia made little good luck charms in the shape of a five-pointed Northern Star, inscribed with a nautical knot and reading: "Hold fast. Life, luck and love." Many keep the little charm in their pocket now, hoping the legends hold true and that the wearers will find their ways safely home.
