>COMMSPHERE COMMERCIAL[THE TOSMAR WILDLIFE RESERVE]:
>>SECTOR[STARMOURN]>>FACTION[CELESTINE_ASCENDANCY]>>PLANET[UYCHEONIII]>>CITY[TOSMAR]:

The ad begins with an aerial view of the snowy and majestic Tosmar mountains, including the hunting preserve and wildlife reserve.

A cheerful male narrator starts a voiceover:
"Tosmar is a hunting preserve on Uycheon III, set in the inhospitable mountains and tundras of our frozen planet."

The holovid zooms in further and transports you to a craggy mountaintop, a snow blizzard whipping around, with a huge and formidable looking bird of prey soaring effortlessly above. It fades to transport you to a forest, where a white fox darts between tall conifers, and finally inside a dank and frozen cave, where a large white horned beast prowls in the shadows.

"It is home to an important population of the endangered Tosmarian condor, a massive bird of prey, as well as the elusive snow fox and the cave-dwelling icehorn."

With uplifting music, the presentation cuts to footage of the wildlife reserve, with various volunteers tending to wildlife, then to the hunting preserve, where a gamekeeper is releasing some condors into the wild.
"While it may seem like an unlikely place to open an animal sanctuary, both the Tosmar Hunting Preserve and GCEPS have a common goal: to prevent extinction and preserve the natural order as much as possible."

A tall and handsome Tukkav man walks into view, clearly the narrator of the ad, "We all just want to see the area flourishing as much as it can!"

The camera zooms in smoothly and he seemingly talks directly to you, "Hi there, my name's Vard Brix and I'd love to welcome you to the Tosmar Wildlife Reserve!"

"You might have met my sister, Doni, down at the Winterflame Festival area, with a few of our herd. That's right - I come from a family of akbaz dairy farmers, historically, but this current generation... well, we're just a bit more into conservation than cheese."

The camera zooms in and Vard gives an exceptionally cheesy grin, which he holds for slightly too long before the shot cuts to some footage of akbazi on the reserve.
"The TWR volunteer program is for those who'd like to help out with the akbazi... and who aren't afraid to get their hands dirty!"

Cheerful and motivational music starts up with footage of a row of rosy-cheeked and filthy looking people of various races, all wearing TWR overalls and big, satisfied smiles, high-fiving and laughing after a good day of volunteering.

Vard says, "Volunteer jobs range from the easy - like stocking the shop."

The vid cuts to an internal scene of a helper in a neat TWR apron creating a beautiful shop display in the visitor center.

He laughingly continues, '...to the difficult!"

You are then shown a hilarious holovid of a volunteer attempting to brush an unruly akbaz which drags him over into a snowmound. He laughs and throws up his hands in exasperation as the akbaz trots off indignantly.

The view cuts to an interior shot of a petite Human woman with greying blonde hair, sitting at a cafe table in the Tosmar Wildlife Reserve visitor center with a cozy looking mug of tea and a tempting looking cake in front of her.

A caption pops up that says: 'Clover Moonchild - Guardian Envoy of the Celestine Ascendancy, founder of the Tosmar Wildlife Reserve and GCEPS.'

Clover smiles, addressing an interviewer off-camera, "Adkbazi are bred specifically to be used as walking billboards, a life unfit for any animal. GCEPS has spoken against this cruel practice from the very start. Now, with your help, GCEPS is liberating these poor souls and freeing them from their burden, providing them with a new home and a new, ad-free life in Tosmar!"

The camera cuts to a closer shot of Clover, who speaks directly to the viewer, "All proceeds from TWR go directly to supporting the needs of the akbazi, and any extra funds go straight to conservation efforts. Thank you for supporting us so that we can support them!"

The ad cuts back to a montage of adorable akbazi antics.

Vard says, "Absolutely, Clover! How could we not? ... Volunteer slots fill up fast, so if you're interested in helping out please sign up early - or just come along and meet the team!"

The vid ends with a shot that pans upwards and away from the whole TWR team smiling and waving at the camera as it floats away into a glorious sunset, the words, "Tosmar Wildlife Reserve - Uycheon III - NOW OPEN!" appearing in your view as the music fades out.

[Clearly added after the ad was already finished, a plain black screen with red writing pops up.] WARNING: PTPs to TWR from Tosmar are CURRENTLY DOWN due to weather conditions. Investigations are being conducted as to the nature of the strange fog. Please see Montos Dath if you would like a guide to escort you to the Winterflame celebration area. TWR is southeast through the forest from there. Safe travels!
