Spoiler: news

Show

-Following the marriage of the King's brother, there will be a day off for the whole kingdom.

-Good news. Prospectors from the Abyssal Stewards have found a new and very tasty species of Starfish in region 13. A massive effort will be started to breed these starfish for export to the Expanse. Soon extra starfish will be available for reasonable prices.

-A trade agreement has been negotiated between the Expanse and the The Auros of Kaarme, making it safer to bring the new starfish back home. In exchange, the Expanse will be exporting some of their armour.

After the marriage, a permanent delegation iss set-up in region 13. Using the armour the Hymenocera are famous for, they try to gain the support of the local aristocracy by providing custom fitted armour for them and some of their bodyguards.

Spoiler: Monumental Undertaking 2/3

Show

The garden was moving along, although not as fast as they had expected. Species of almost all sponges had been procured, although they were still having some trouble with the sponges they used at the Steward's base, as they actually needed some of the chemicals that came out of the sea vent. For this they were still trying to find a solution. Limnadi had already made sure there were samples in storage near the sea vent, but he really wanted them in the garden. At the back of the estate there was a cave where they had put the research institute that would do research on sponges and where the samples would be kept. That part was almost up an running, but the garden still needed quite a lot of work, mostly on growing the sponges to the right size for exhibition.

Spoiler: Exquisite Gala

Show

Ambassador Ginidu found himself at yet another diplomatic event. This time a gala organised by The Lambent Syndicate. He didn't have any authority to conduct treaties, but he could listen and bring any suggestions back home.

Spoiler: Exploration

Show

A group of merchants starting from region 13 have gone on an expedition to see what was there to the North of this region, in the hope to open new markets.
