Fuzzy: Fort Stag Development Group
Adoven, after discussion with Lady Vik, steps forward. There are a few sets of papers that he hands out to each council member and Henry. "If you will indulge me, my lords and ladies, I have a proposal. As you can see from the documents I'm passing around, V&A is experiencing enough growth in productivity that a Merchant House might be in order. Vik and I are running ourselves ragged trying to stay on top of things, and a central business office is something we need. We need a base location, and we decided that Tusk was better situated to be a trading and shipping hub than Ringbridge. To complete the requirements for such a base, which will enhance land trade routes as well as water trade, we will also need to build a warehouse. We realize that permissions to construct so much will come at a price, and that we dare not let our...enthusiasm for rapid growth lead to unstable situations. Thus we are prepared to donate some civic works project in addition to the taxes our new revenue stream will generate. I was thinking a district wall for the central district, which is within our means this quarter. Councilwoman Pipre has suggested that we build a granary and a park, but such works will take far more resources than my projections indicate will come our way during the next two quarters, let alone now. Regardless of what deal we make, we must expand to anchor both land- and water-based trade. Thus we at V&A request permission to so expand."
