For the duration of the course (basically from now to the start of September), we are putting mostly items for lower level characters (level 1 to 30 or so?) in the kin chest, and have removed or temporarily stored elsewhere the items for higher level characters.
So anyone (especially new members of the kinship) are welcome to visit the kin house and take from the kin chest any items that you might find useful for your characters. We have experienced crafters who can replace these items as they are taken, so please don't be shy about taking stuff that you can use.
