Fuzzy: The Guilds Hall
”I wonder if it is time to come to an agreement on merchant activity across the Southern Region?” starts as he introduces the subject.
”Until recently, DELEM and V&A have been the main players, but because we trade in different ways there hasn’t been a lot of direct competition between the two companies. Over the last couple of years, WSM has got itself organised and competes locally, House Yitis trade between here and Mivon, as does V&A, on top of that Safiya has opened up a canal that links Restov with Ringbridge, Tusk and beyond. Soon, I expect to have a road that stretches almost as far as The Wyvern bridge and the East Sellen river, which will open up the possibility of water-based trade with both New Stetven and Fort Drelev. Once the issue at Varnhold is resolved, there are possibilities of trade there as well. Changes that are significant for all of us, Merchants, Landowners and businessfolk alike.
I know, for example, that the Mayor of Restov is a merchant, DELEM run alongside his trade caravans on the road between Restov and New Stetven. Another member of the council is from a merchant house, although the operate more locally. I know that House Surtova and House Lebeda are both active merchants in New Steven, and they both have links to Fort Drelev. I am also aware that, beyond Fort Drelev, the East Sellen is a difficult route passing through swamp lands full of pirates and monsters. Drelev was supposed to sort that out, but he hasn’t managed to do that …
I would like to hear your thoughts and views on the matter …”
