Luria Nova/Events/Estate-Manager/A D'Haran Merchant's Proposition

A D'Haran merchant arrives at your estate with an intriguing proposition. He expresses his willingness to dispatch a contingent of skilled craftsmen to assist in nurturing the fledgling manufacturing sector of your estate. In return, he requests control over your livestock business.

The implications of this decision are starkly divided among your populace. The peasants voice their strong opposition to the deal, fearing the loss of control over their livestock and its consequences. Conversely, the local merchants rally in favor of the agreement, foreseeing the rapid growth of your manufacturing sector as a result.

Accepting this offer would undoubtedly accelerate the expansion of your manufacturing capabilities, but it comes at the cost of relinquishing complete control over your livestock. The choice is yours, and it hinges on striking a balance between your estate's growth and the preservation of your existing assets.

Outcome: Accepting the D'Haran Merchant's Offer

With shrewdness befitting a wise steward, you meticulously review your records, realizing that your food and livestock production currently yields no tradable goods of significance. After careful consideration, you conclude that relinquishing control over this virtually non-existent resource is a small price to pay for the significant boon offered to your manufacturing sector. With a decisive nod, you accept the D'Haran merchant's proposal.

The peasants, whose livelihoods are intrinsically tied to raising livestock, are taken aback by your decision. They cry out for justice, their voices resonating with dismay. However, the merchant's hired guards, wielding their intimidating presence and brute force, quickly restore order, quelling the initial unrest and ensuring compliance.

A few weeks later, you encounter a small group of craftsmen sent by the D'Haran merchant. They waste no time and set to work immediately, their expertise promising a substantial boost to your manufacturing production. The local merchants within your estate express their satisfaction and approval, acknowledging the wisdom of your decision, which is expected to have a positive impact on your estate's prosperity.
