	Since the completion of the [[Lorenzo%27s_Legacy#Blood_Red_Roads\|Blood Red Roads]], Astolat has seen a significant increase in prosperity. One branch passes through the [[Astolat#The Castle of Thorns\|Castle of Thorns]] and connects the territory to [[Temeschwar]] and [[Casinea]]. The other crosses through northern Astolat, through the crossroads at the heart of [[Astolat#Weaving\|Weaving]], via [[Semmerholm]] to [[Holberg]] city. With the old road that connects the Castle of Thorns and Weaving, the new roads allow a steady flow of merchants and traders both into and out of the Dawnish heartlands.

[[Business\|Businesses]] and [[farm\|farms]] alike have benefitted from this [[great work]], but sometimes struggle to find things to spend money ''on''.

	One of the proposals put forward by the [[seneschal\|seneschals]] of Astolat is to take advantage of this increased mercantile activity by establishing permanent fayregrounds across the territory. They've identified three locations where such fayres could be established to have the most impact; at Brightway in [[Astolat#Grovesyard\|Grovesyard]], at Oldheart in [[Astolat#Withy\|Withy]], and at [[Astolat#Weaving\|Weaving]] in [[Astolat#Winterbourne\|Winterbourne]]. By themselves, each of these fayres would create monthly markets, attracting traveling merchants from [[the League]], Highguard, and Navarr, as well as traders, peddlers, [[guiser\|guisers]], and representatives of [[weaver cabal\|weaver cabals]] and [[noble house\|noble houses]] from across Dawn. Of course, with more travellers and merchants come more problems. Guisers in particular have a reputation for causing trouble; even a prosperous and civilised territory like Astolat might be troubled by bandits. As such the seneschals propose that a new [[Imperial title]] - the ''Reeve of Three Fayres'' - be created to oversee and look after the new fayres.

	Given Dawn's emphasis on the pursuit of [[glory]], it has never had easy access to the valuable materials traded via the [[~~Imperial~~ Bourse]]. Last year, the yeofolk of [[Semmerholm]] and [[Weirwater]] put forward proposals to partially address this by building market-fayres at [[Weirwater#Applefell\|Applefell]] or [[Semmerholm#Lacuve\|Lacre]] dedicated to gathering [[weirwood]] or [[mithril]]. The Dawnish Assembly attempted to raise support for the Applefel Market-fayre, but were unfortunately unable to achieve a [[greater majority]]. Now, the Prosperous people of the Empire turn their attention to Astolat and they have a new proposal to address this disparity. Rather than focus solely on what can be produced within the borders of Dawn, it should be possible to take advantage of Astolat's position near the centre of the Empire, with the Blood Red Roads providing easy access to the prosperity of [[Temeschwar]], [[Varushka]], [[Highguard]], and [[Navarr]]. They suggest that a monthly market-fayre is established near [[Astolat#Winterbourne\|Boar's Hollow]] where merchants can trade with representatives of the [[Northern trade network]], specifically to purchase Bourse materials.

	The Boar's Hollow Market-fayre would be held four times a year, and create a gathering point for traders from outside Dawn eager to purchase the luxury goods, fine cloth, armour, and weapons for which the nation is rightly famous. A suitable yeofolk would be chosen by the [[Tally of the Votes]] and named the ''Reeve of Boar's Hollow''. They would be charged with not only overseeing the market-fayre but also securing Bourse materials for use by the noble Houses of Dawn. Specifically, they would be responsible for working with the seneschals and retainers of Dawn's noble houses, and working to ensure the prosperity of the nation by helping them to get their hands on weirwood, white granite, mithril, and even ilium. Even if they were affiliated with a Noble House as a retainer or seneschal, they would be expected to maintain as impartial as possible in their dealings.

	One of the proposals put forward by the [[seneschal\|seneschals]] of Astolat is to take advantage of this increased mercantile activity by establishing permanent fayregrounds across the territory. They've identified three locations where such fayres could be established to have the most impact; at Brightway in [[Astolat#Grovesyard\|Grovesyard]], at Oldheart in [[Astolat#Withy\|Withy]], and at [[Astolat#Weaving\|Weaving]] in [[Astolat#Winterbourne\|Winterbourne]].

	Since the completion of the [[Lorenzo%27s_Legacy#Blood_Red_Roads\|Blood Red Roads]], Astolat has seen a significant increase in prosperity. One branch passes through ~~the~~ [[Astolat#The Castle of Thorns\|The Castle of Thorns]] and connects the territory to [[Temeschwar]] and [[Casinea]]. The other crosses through northern Astolat, through the crossroads at the heart of [[Astolat#Weaving\|Weaving]], via [[Semmerholm]] to [[Holberg]] city. With the old road that connects the Castle of Thorns and Weaving, the new roads allow a steady flow of merchants and traders both into and out of the Dawnish heartlands. [[Business\|Businesses]] and [[farm\|farms]] alike have benefitted from this [[great work]], but sometimes struggle to find things to spend money ''on''..

	One of the proposals put forward by the [[seneschal\|seneschals]] of Astolat is to take advantage of this increased mercantile activity by establishing permanent fayregrounds across the territory. They've identified three locations where such fayres could be established to have the most impact; at Brightway in [[Astolat#Grovesyard\|Grovesyard]], at Oldheart in [[Astolat#Withy\|Withy]], and at [[Astolat#Weaving\|Weaving]] in [[Astolat#Winterbourne\|Winterbourne]]. By themselves, each of these fayres would create monthly markets, attracting traveling merchants from [[the League]], Highguard, and Navarr, as well as traders, peddlers, [[guiser\|guisers]], and representatives of [[weaver cabal\|weaver cabals]] and [[noble house\|noble houses]] from across Dawn. Of course, with more travellers and merchants come more problems. Guisers in particular have a reputation for causing trouble; even a prosperous and civilised territory like Astolat might be troubled by bandits. As such the seneschals propose that a new [[Imperial title]] - the ''Reeve of Three Fayres'' - be created to oversee and look after the new fayres.
