The Obsidian Council

HEAR YE, BRAVE MERCHANTS OF THE BEFORE-TIMES!

The Saleswarlord and the High Priestess emerge from their grand conquest to share ancient wisdom with those worthy few who remember the Old Ways of Commerce...

For three cycles of the sun, we retreated to our separate realms. While lesser beings preached of magical AI servants and promised golden rivers of passive wealth, we were forging real empires in the crucible of true business.

The Saleswarlord ventured forth to the great houses of commerce, wielding his legendary sales-blade to carve victory from the jaws of defeat. His mighty deeds echo through the halls of business:

- A fabric empire, blessed with $5M additional gold per moon-cycle

- A kingdom of canine training in the Western Lands, their coffers swelling by $1M

Meanwhile, I, the High Priestess, acquired two fallen kingdoms for mere copper pieces (4,000 pieces each, to be precise). Through ancient magicks and pure force of will, these humble beginnings transformed into a mighty empire worth 750,000 gold pieces per year.

But lo! Dark omens trouble our dreams. We witness brave merchants led astray by false prophets, their treasuries drained by dark promises and cursed strategies. The ancient scrolls of business wisdom lie forgotten, replaced by hollow incantations of "passive wealth" and "automated riches."

Thus, we shall conduct a most sacred ritual - a full day of power where we shall reveal:

- Battle-tested strategies from the front lines of real commerce

- Mystical secrets of modern marketing that actually summon forth paying customers

- Ancient wisdom combined with new-world tactics that bring actual gold to your coffers

And here's the prophecy that shall shock the realm - we're breaking the ancient price barrier. Instead of our traditional offering price of 1,500 gold pieces, we're making this accessible to all worthy warriors of commerce.

But heed this warning, brave ones: This gathering is not for the faint of heart or those seeking easy riches. We speak only to true merchants who understand that real wealth comes from providing real value to your kingdoms.

The sacred chambers will hold only a limited number of chosen ones. Those who wish to drink from this fountain of knowledge must act swiftly.

Will you answer the call? Will you join the Saleswarlord and the High Priestess for this legendary day of business transformation?

The choice is yours, but remember - winter is coming to the business realm, and only those armed with true knowledge shall survive its bitter winds..."

BEHOLD, BRAVE MERCHANTS! THE SACRED SCROLLS OF POWER!

ANCIENT SCROLL I: TRANSMUTATION OF COLD MESSAGES INTO GOLDEN OPPORTUNITIES

By the power of the Old Magic, learn to transform lifeless messages into vibrant connections! No longer shall you spam the realm like a desperate goblin merchant. Instead, master the mystical arts of magnetic conversation that draws prospects to your cause like moths to an enchanted flame.

SCROLL II: THE INVISIBLE CROWN OF INFLUENCE

Harness the forgotten arts of commanding attention without resorting to the cursed "Dragon-Chariot Display" tactics of lesser merchants. We shall teach you to wear authority like a cloak of power, becoming unforgettable without ever uttering the dreaded phrases "Behold my golden carriages!" or "Witness my vast holdings!"

SCROLL III: THE ARCANE BALANCE OF HUMAN AND MACHINE

At last! The legendary formula for wielding both mechanical golems AND human touch in perfect harmony. Learn when to summon your automated servants and when to extend your own merchant's hand. No more shall you waste precious mana on fruitless endeavors!

SCROLL IV: FORGING THE UNBREAKABLE FELLOWSHIP

Far beyond the shallow bonds of common merchant circles lies the sacred art of true tribe-building. Master the ancient runes of human connection that modern wizards have forgotten. Your fellowship shall become legend, while others' groups crumble like ancient parchment.

SCROLL V: THE DIVINE RIGHT OF AUTHENTIC LEADERSHIP

Ascend to your rightful throne not as another self-proclaimed "Grand Wizard of Business," but as a true sovereign of your realm. Learn the sacred arts of elevating your entire kingdom while naturally claiming your crown. The Saleswarlord and High Priestess shall show you how to lead without the cursed ego-inflation spells that plague our lands.

PROPHECY OF URGENCY: These sacred scrolls shall only be unveiled to those brave enough to claim their place in our hallowed chambers. The ancient wisdom contained within has transformed mere merchants into legends, humble traders into empire-builders.

Will you answer the call of destiny, brave one?
