is alayla
Lady Alayla De'Sora is a level 50 Brown Ajah human.
Tousled locks escape a simple hairpin, framing the face of this small
woman. Her ready smile seems warm and inviting, a sharp contrast to
ageless features and the great serpent ring adorning her finger.
Alayla feels the flows of saidar coursing through her body.

a shelf of books within easy reach.
A ledger lies on a small stand.

Lower Corridor
This plain corridor lies on the ground floor of the Tower, near the
Kitchens. Although there is another kitchen and accompanying dining halls
on the second floor, they have not been in use in centuries. This kitchen
conveniently placed on the ground floor, so supplies to feed the many
mouths in the Tower can easily be brought in.

Alayla breathes in the delicious aroma of the Kitchens.
The Kitchens
The smells of food fills this large, high ceilinged room, the scent of
meats mingling with those of fruits and vegetables. A long stone fireplace
with spits lies in the center of the eastern wall, the roasting spits being
turned by spit dogs running in their wicker baskets. Iron stoves and ovens
have been placed along other walls. Three large pairs of doors flank the
kitchen and a glimpse reveals they are large dining halls. Gray tiles cover
the floor and a large sink occupies a corner of the room.

The room becomes brighter as you create a sphere of light above your hand.
The Pantry
The room has somehow been made to be as cool as a springhouse in order to
keep the food fresh. Sacks of different varieties of flour and seasonings
are stacked against one of the walls. A shelf placed against a second wall
holds jars of preserved fruits and cartons of eggs, and barrels of wines
from different countries fill the rest of the room. A thick wooden door
with a small barred window lies on the east wall, overlooking a graveled
stretch of the garden, allowing supplies to be brought in with ease.
A sign hangs next to the oven.

Alayla notifies a servant that the pantry needs to be restocked.
The servant says 'Apologies, Alayla. The larder is empty. I hope Eliyana Sedai has been told and that we'll be re-supplied soon. Perhaps try
informing her?
Alayla blinks her eyes innocently.
Alayla straightens her shawl and sets out to find this new Sister who apparently has forgotten her duties.

Mistress of Logistics' Office
Upon entering this office, the scent of parchment and ink fills the air. A
large, polished oakwood desk sits at the heart of the room, strewn with
maps, scrolls, and documents detailing the intricate logistics of the White
Tower. Tall bookshelves, filled with tomes and ledgers, line the walls,
casting ordered shadows on the intricate, white-tiled mosaic floor.
Flickering candles provide ample light, illuminating the room with a warm,
golden glow that accentuates the meticulous organization required for
managing the vast White Tower operations.

Alayla peers around the room, her eyes landing on the White Sister behind the
desk.
Alayla says 'Sister what is this with the larder?'
A servant leaves north.
lo sedai
Eliyana possesses the classic ageless features of an Aes Sedai, her pale
blue eyes sharp with intelligence and determination. Her silver-streaked
auburn hair is pulled back into a neat bun, giving prominence to her high
cheekbones and calculating gaze. As a White Ajah sister, she is clad in a
pristine white gown, the fabric conveying both elegance and practicality.
Her ink-stained fingers, though delicate, show subtle signs of wear from
years of managing the complex logistics of the White Tower.
Alayla steps towards the desk and slides into a chair across from the woman.
Alayla clears her throat.
Alayla says 'Sister the larder is empty.'
Eliyana Sedai looks up from her papers, arching an eyebrow.
Eliyana Sedai retrieves the appropriate records from the bookshelf.
Eliyana Sedai flips through the weighty tome, pausing to tap several pageswith her finger.
Eliyana Sedai sighs loudly.
Eliyana Sedai says 'Yes, it seems the White Tower has been quite abuzz this month. An unusual peak of activity in our halls.'
Eliyana Sedai says 'Our next scheduled shipments are in the city, but have not yet been delivered.'
Eliyana Sedai draws a shipping manifest from a desk drawer.
Eliyana Sedai gives you a prepaid White Tower shipment manifest.
Eliyana Sedai says 'Take this to the merchants in the harbors, and arrange for delivery of our goods.'
Eliyana Sedai says 'There are five shipping merchants you will need to visit: grains, produce, meats, dairy, and the tea and spice importer.'
Eliyana Sedai says 'Return the manifest to me when you are done. Off with you now.'
Eliyana Sedai waves you away.
Alayla arches a brow at Eliyana's tone, then looks down at the parchment. She takes a deep breath and lets it out a measured sigh in a struggle to control her response.
Alayla asks 'Is this not something for the girls to do? I confess it has been some time since I've been seen.'
Eliyana offers no response.
Alayla says 'However...' and twists the serpent ring on her finger in an attempt to send a message to the oblivious White Sister.
Alayla says 'I am not above helping a Sister out...'
Alayla rushes on '...in the interest of tea cakes.'
Alayla forces a gracious smile.
Alayla glances at the manifest with resignation and grimaces.
Alayla rises from her seat and moves to leave. She looks back.
Alayla says 'Eliyana, if I find you've sent me in error, we will have a chat, you and I.'
Alayla draws herself up as tall as she is able and sweeps out of the room, her skirts rustling softly.
***Alayla passes through the halls purposefully and greets her horse at the stables. Together they travel the familiar streets of the city on her errand, only straying from the goal of baked goods for one, critically important detour.***

A gray palfrey prances skittishly nearby, being ridden by you.
A sailor is here.
Scampering around, Trinket the ferret looks for mischief to get into.
Alayla beckons Trinket to follow her into a darkened alley off Alindrelle Way.
A sailor's blood freezes as he hears Trinket the ferret's death cry.
The sun casts a golden glow over the city.
Alayla nods in agreement.
Alayla emerges from the alley and continues on her way to Southharbor, 'curiously' finding her prickly nature has been slightly soothed. She picks her way around vendors and sailors and merchants and travelers, all going about their business along the city's harbor front. Satisfied that she has met with the necessary vendors she sets out to return to the Tower. Her path takes her through the Warder's Yard. She spares the Yard only a single glance before turning away and hurrying towards the stables. After leaving her mount in good care, she returns to the warmth of the Kitchens and steps into the Office.

her hands in delight.

order.'
Alayla crosses her arms and bites her tongue.
Eliyana Sedai says 'As you now know, the White Tower's logistics are no mean feat.'
Eliyana Sedai says 'Remember that lesson always: the White Tower is only as strong as the common people who support her.'
Eliyana Sedai says 'Time to get these supplies to the store houses, and replenish the pantries.'
Eliyana Sedai begins commanding a veritable army of servants, who carry off the many supplies.
A Tower Guard has arrived from the north.
Alayla says dryly 'Why thank you, Sister. Your approval means little, but the cakes will be savored.'
