Lord So'om walked through the busy market place, taking notice of the cultural varieties the port city attracted. To the outside world his city was just another place to make profit, another stop along the way, but it was not that way to him. Although the lands of Taneth were indeed tiny, consisting of the city itself and the surrounding villages, its citizens were proud of it and are not to be underestimated or taken advantage of. They are a trustworthy group and reliable fighters when they or their allies are provoked.
While the port city itself brings in an average income So'om feels further encouragement is needed to boost the cities economy. A group of twenty spellswords are dispatched on a cogs to explore and if possible, develop economic relations with the remains of the Empire. In addition, a diplomat is sent to Rihad with a formal letter for an alliance.
Jamaal Curetor, King of Rihad
Your kingdom and mine are two of the same, we both work these lands, we both send our goods away upon the sea. Although your kingdom stands mightier in population than that of my own people, we have much to offer through a trade and political alliance. I pray that you will consider such and that Zhet blesses your people with a bountiful harvest.
So'om, Lord of Taneth
