Alstroemeria Exchange

Alstroemeria Exchange (Meriex for short) is a Beastclan/Flight exchange program operating out of the Everbloom Gardens.
=== History ===
Meriex was founded post-BotE to coordinate knowledge sharing between dragon and beastfolk. The joint research led to the formation of several local alliances, as well as hostels, a bazaar, and multi-species taverns to accommodate delegates. Meriex itself grew along with the settlement, branching out into translation and negotiation work, and soon made a name for itself as trustworthy neutral ground.
While the creation of the Wild Sanctum reduced the demand for research collaborations (and thus reduced Meriex's funding), local clans decided that its services were valuable enough to fund independently.
=== Purpose ===
While its bazaar and entertainment scenes are impressive, Meriex is best known for its exchange program. Dragon and beast clans (after passing an evaluation) can post openings for students, scholars, tourists, laborers and the like, which will then be shared to other clans. The service is inexpensive and, thanks to the vetting process, relatively safe. Associating with Meriex is non-binding and largely informal outside the evaluation, and clans can withdraw at any time. Meriex serves clans throughout the Labyrinth; out-of-Flight clans are welcome as well, so long as they pay the evaluator's travel fee.
=== Associated Clans ===
Please feel free to add more! Include clan name, a brief description of the evaluation, and (if the evaluation was passed) any "job openings".
==== Clan Castoff ====
Evaluation: Clan is friendly and acceptably safe. Proximity to deep jungle should be noted; clan urges nocturnal beastclan to consider carefully, as animal attacks increase in frequency at night.
Openings: Seeking an apprentice for orchard-tending. Food and board provided. Apprentice should have basic knowledge (purpose of roots, soil nutrients) and will learn about exotic fruit trees, techniques for maximizing longterm yield, magic-enhanced germination, and crossbreeding.
