Will Buy Books
''Will purchase books. Content not important, as long as they're bound in attractive leather and have titles written in gold plate. I wish to display them in my salon in a bid to lend my domicile gravity and sophistication.''

–Helmut Altberg, Cotton Merchant

Contract: Haunted House

 * I seek a witcher of unsullied reputation (documentation regarding prior achievements and written references preferred) who will undertake the task of combing the residence on the outskirts of the city recently acquired by the undersigned, Count Kurt Dysart, in order to find and drive off or kill the creature which is haunting it. A sizable reward is guaranteed.


 * Sincerely,
 * -Kurt Dysart, Count of Anchor by writ of King Foltest (temporarily in residence at the Kingfisher)

Contract: Imp

 * On behalf of the Merchants' Guild, I hereby announce the following:


 * A particularly bold beast - an imp, to our thinking - has taken to the thieving in the market near the city gates. Though it has not yet harmed any humans, this monster has caused a great deal of irrecoverable financial loss. whoever tracks down and kills this imp shall receive a hefty reward - one free of all taxes, in accordance with our honorable city councilmen's decree numbered 1271/c/VII/10.


 * Do not tarry in providing us assistance, good people, for retail trade is the backbone of a healthy economy, meaning the financial well-being of the city's merchants lies in all of your best interests.


 * -Sylvester Amello, Merchant

Wanted: Triss Merigold

 * Eye-witness testimony has confirmed that Triss Merigold of Maribor, known as "The 14th of The Hill," a member of the infamous Lodge of Sorceresses, is currently in resident in our fair city. Anyone in possession of information about her place of hiding, plans or accomplices is obligated by law both divine and human to report to the nearest outpost of the Temple Guard at once. And whoever helps the witch by giving her food or shelter shall burn alongside her.

Fist Fights

 * Anyone looking to bash some heads will find plenty of worthy ones in our fair city. Those interested in joining the fun, sign up for our tournament. You'll face these most highly honorable gents: Georgius Georg, known as the Piledriver, Archibald O'Neil, Captain Iron Mortimer and Durden, known as the Tailor.

Contract: Monster in the Bits

 * By order of the City Council number 1408/DZ/185, a reward has been set aside for the killing of the monster which torments and murders residents of the Bits after dark.


 * The only acceptable proof of having performed this deed shall be a trophy taken from the monster's body.


 * Yes, this means your mother's or cousin's or aunt's eyewitness testimony will not suffice, nor will the sworn word of any other person, regardless of his or her claimed relationship to you, the Hierarch or anyone else, and also without caring one whit for his or her alleged trustworthiness, which supposedly can be attested to by anyone at your favorite drinking hall.


 * For more information and/or to collect the reward, see the District Superintendent for the Bits.


 * -Lund By writ of the City Council Superintendent of the Bits

Weights And Measures

 * In light of the continual quarrels distracting our market's stallholders from their primary business of doing business, let me remind you of the officially-endorsed weights and measures used in Novigrad.


 * 1 fathom = 3 ells, 1 ell = 2 feet, 1 foot = 12 inches 1 gallon = 4 quarts, 1 bushel = 8 gallons, 1 barrel = 4 bushels 1 pound = 16 ounces, 1 stone = 25 pounds, 1 hundredweight = 4 stones.


 * It is requested that all sellers and buyers use this system of measurements. Complaints concerning transactions made in other measurements will be summarily dismissed.


 * –The City Council of the Free City of Novigrad

Lessons in Savoir Vivre

 * Which knife should be used when eating fish? Is it fitting for a lady to walk without hose in hot weather? Should a white wine glass be held by the stem or by the cup? Anyone aspiring to rub shoulders with Novigrad high society will receive answers to these and other similarly vexing questions for a trifling fee by inquiring with Count Nougatte, a world authority in matters of savoir vivre.

Festival Of Nilfgaardian Culture Canceled
It pains me to inform you that, in light of recent events, the decision has been made to call off our planned festival of Nilfgaardian Culture.

–Ambassador var Attre.

Beware! There's A Swindler About!

 * Fair Novigradians! Let it be known far and wide that Klaus Fetterling is a lair, a fraud and a swindler. The "miraculous hair-growing formula" he sells is nothing more than well water from the Bits dyed with a modicum of lilac extract. The only effect imbibing this concoction is likely to bring about is a debilitating case of diarrhea which will keep you running to the outhouse day and night - a fact which I had the dubious pleasure of learning through first-hand experience. Therefore, if this shameless cheat should pay a visit to your domicile, buy nothing and instead tell him to go suck down his own remedy.
