Luria Nova/Events/Estate-Manager/A Proposal from a Fellish Merchant Guild Member

A prominent member of the Fellish Merchant Guild pays a visit to your estate, bringing with them an intriguing proposal. They express their desire to provide your estate with a steady supply of raw materials. However, in exchange, they request exclusive rights to be the sole buyers of your manufactured goods, forming a symbiotic partnership.

This proposal garners mixed reactions among your estate's residents. The craftsmen find appeal in the offer, as it promises them a reliable market for their goods, ensuring steady income. In contrast, local merchants raise concerns, fearing that this arrangement might displace smaller merchants within the estate and potentially reduce overall trade diversity.

The decision ultimately lies with you. Accepting the offer would augment your raw material supply, potentially enhance your manufacturing capabilities, and secure a valuable trade partner. Additionally, as a gesture of goodwill, the merchant is prepared to present you with a chest brimming with coins. However, it may also result in a decrease in the variety of trade within your estate. Weighing the potential benefits and drawbacks, it's up to you to determine the course of action that best aligns with your estate's priorities and your vision for its future.

However, the local traders within your domain react with dissatisfaction and disappointment upon hearing of your decision. Some are so disheartened that they begin to pack their belongings, contemplating a departure from your estate. Your choice has clearly caused a division among your merchants, highlighting the complexities of striking a balance between different economic interests within your domain.
