Fount Porch Trade Post

We know the Fyros for their tempers, quick and fiery, but the commotions I have been observing recently have left me even more cautious than when I first arrived in this vineless land. The native friends that I have made have been complaining of a lack of voice in the actions of the empire. They say the Akenak make claims and excuses, but do not move in the directions the people desire.

A more detailed explanation was then given by Fyrosian Pythus Aedon some time later, who indicated “increased tension” was being felt, most notably at Cheapside market, where slogans against the ruling power were heard, and turned into a demonstration through the streets of Pyr, to Highmarket:

The crowd pushed their way into Highmarket and raucously accosted the vendors and patrons with their claims against the Akenak. To my surprise, several of the vendors cheered the group on. Fearing a riot was being incited, I made my way to Merchant’s Walk to contain the group with the help of other patrols approaching from the west and north. Thankfully the citizens quickly calmed when they noticed us approaching and peacefully dispersed.

And more recently, Be’rory Thogen of the Trykerfolk was surprised to find a note on the post he tied his packers on, a stern warning in Trykertongue to avoid the Burning Desert:

A warning to all traders! Beware the trade routes of the Burning Desert. Their maintenance has fallen to ill and bandits can be found roaming freely.
Many traders have not been properly compensated for their water deliveries.
If you trade these routes, it will be at your peril. Travel with guard if you must.

Curiously, the news seem not to have travelled to the lands of the Matis as of yet. We should keep a watchful eye on developments in the Fyros lands.

I have gotten close to a 1000 bark from Kali and Nayari for range fighting for this weekend, so all you launcher folks, bring the big guns.

Riv put this together. I think it is worth looking at.
