	It may be possible to expand the workings even further, but it is impossible at this time to be sure - only the presence of a significant number of skilled miners will be able to determine exactly how rich this mithril find might be.

	Exploiting this mithril find would obviously create a Seat on the [[~~Imperial~~ Bourse]]. When - if - it produces its first load of mithril the Imperial Senate would need to determine if it is to be Imperial or National. An Imperial Bourse Seat could be held by any Imperial citizen; would be subject to an open auction; and the money bid would be paid into the Senate treasury.

	As the territory of Sermersuaq is part of [[Wintermark]], if the seat is made National it would automatically be allocated to that nation. It would create a national seat, and the [[New_Imperial_titles#Well_Worn_Paths\|well-worn path]] would be for it to be appointed through the Bourse by vote of the [[military unit\|captains]] of Wintermark.

	Peter opened his mouth to say something and then thought better of it. He sighed, and added another pinch of herbs to his sealmeat stew. He was actually beginning to wish he'd never found the thing now. It was so much easier when they were just looking at troll artifacts and dodging ... whatever it was that they'd been attacked by in the cave. He shuddered, remembering the stink of its breath and the immense bone-crunching jaws gaping on either side of his terrified head. He started to catalogue the things he would not miss when he was safely back in the Marches. He never imagined he would be nostalgic for the Feni-haunted drowned ruins of Bregasland ... but he was. At least they were warm.		Peter opened his mouth to say something and then thought better of it. He sighed, and added another pinch of herbs to his sealmeat stew.
