All hail noble ladies and gentlemen!

After many years of waiting its finally done. Lord Wolfen succeded in creating a uniform trade system. Each ruler of Tamar has now the opportunity to trade with others. There are no words to descripe the effort that must have cost him to create a fair and uniform system where nobody is missed out. Many lords have already payed tribute to him for this achivement. We can trade with every colony which our scout explored. We do not just trade with grain, but also with weapons and suits of armor of each kind. Our armorers work almost without breaks to produce enough goods which we can transform in coin after long and hard negotiations. Well, it is not always easy to close a deal succesfully. I have to do a lot of paperwork and there are always mounted messengers with new agreements. I even have to say that our gold stock is diminished seriously during the last time. Lord Wolfen decided to reduce the taxes for the simple inhabitants of Tamar drastically. In this way their poor and hard life should become easier. This has the advantage that the trade flourishs fast. Normally a simple writer like me gains not such insight in financial circumstances of the realm, but my master accepted that he can't do all the financial stuff by himself and so I became quickly a supportive treasurer. But you shouldn't belive that I would get more money for it. There is no discussion about it and I would not even thing of stealing some. If Alberich noticed something like this, I daresay I surley would make acquaintance with his dreaded battleaxe which notchy blade can tell about many fights. So I prefer to stay poor and honest, but therefore also alive. At least many inhabitants of our colony have a much harder life than me.
I also have some news from our scout.In the last time he found many sights that our island is not the only one in Tamar. Most likely there may be some other islands where a unknown number of colonies exists and it seems like that there are still coming new colonies to this place.
