[Archalen Andares]

Archalen promptly saw the revered Justicar and quickly had the receptionist Lir'anna bring some drinks and the odd cigars that Archalen remembered the Orc was fond of. Bowing deeply, he seated both of them and listened intently to the offer. Now, this was exactly the thing the Thane approved and respected. Mutual assistance and a keen mind for expanding and optimizing business. It was no wonder why the Thane respected the Orc. And despite the common superstitions of the Orcs not being as smart as others, well this greenskin constantly shattered all stereotypes.

"Justicar, as always your suggestions and advice are....beyond wondeful. Of course I would be happy to partake in this and get the farmers the fertilizers. We have an abundance of wagons from the Imperian Trade Depot....so that shouldn't be a problem. You have only...to give me the times and volume of the fertilizer and I shall see to it, it is promptly picked up and delivered. Who knows? Perhaps if we have a surplus after delivering it....we can trade it out to other cities?"

The Thane thought a moment and offered Drzg some business in return, as he thought the Orc might both appreciate and enjoy. "Speaking of trade...we are soon expanding the Imperian Trade Depots routes. If you like....I can have more ice and salt produced and you can have us haul some of your fish from your industry and sell it to distance lands. We have some fish to sell already....but doing this would increase profits for you. Not to mention we don't have access to any....deep water fish and ocean products." The Thane took a pipe out of his draw, and after packing it with Arkamat smoke leaves promptly used his flint and lit it. Then he took out a piece of parchament and began to write on it. As he did so he explained "After all, sea based fishing is a form of agriculture and if you would....I would like to have this developed more. Good for everyone, escpecially those who control the waterfront." he said, giving a wrly grin towards the Justicar. "These are the items and products that my foreman at the Depot says is in demand in the other provinces. Items and products...that you can exploit and expand upon." He gave Drzg the paper.

"Of course, I wouldn't charge you anything but the space it takes on the wagons....which is close to silvers per foot. After all, one good turn deserves another.....does it not" Archalen took another drink and wondered if the Justicar would be interested in these wonderful ways to expand his business and help Imperian Trade.
