AS WE HAVE SET SAIL TO FIND OUR NEW HOME, WE CONTINUE TO SEEK THE BEST FOR THE NATION AND ITS PEOPLE. Both the people of Lotharia and the Merchants of Heavensward seek to gain a fruitful harvest after settling in a new land. Should this take a generation, their goals and mindsets shall not shift. After the delegation between the two vassals, a compromise has come into place. While the Lotharian streets are filled, the commerce within their nation is lacking. Inversely, Heavensward’s economic investment was popular amongst Aevos, and they wished to quickly establish an outpost within a well-trafficked region. Therefore, it is in their invested interest that the two work in tandem.
