A missive is sent out to all settlements within Meranthe and even to the Archmage Association. 
"Camazura has captured the one known as Nera of Nightview. Her fate is up for sale, If there is no bidding done then her fate will remain up to us. The bidding starts at One Million coins. Anything lower offered will end up in this chance to save or doom her should you bid high enough being snatched away. Thus all serious inquires should be written to Aubery Nayam. Do not waste our time or hers. The clock is ticking."  

"The Winner will receive a letter back with instructions that will be followed, Any deviation will result in consequences."
