	A surprising amount of wealth comes from the marshy forests of [[Therunin]]. It is no city of [[the League]] or rich [[Varushka\|Varushkan]] vale, but it is home to the [[Thimble]], and is a fertile mating ground for the [[Mundane_beasts#Iridescent_Butterfly\|iridescent butterfly]]. It is covered in trees whose lumber - whether soft or hard - is in demand across the Empire; and like many Navarr [[territory\|territories]] it is replete with excellent quality healing [[herbs]]. There are other, more esoteric, sources of prosperity as well in the south-eastern forest, such as the ruined docks on the banks of the [[Dredgemaster_of_Feverwater#Dredging_the_Feverwater\|Feverwater]], and of course the city fallen to the [[~~Vallorn~~]] itself that lies in the heart of the territory. While the [[Navarr_economic_interests#Brokers\|brokers]] of Therunin may not be as wealthy as those of [[Miaren]], they have a reputation for being more adventurous.

	One of their number - ''Gwyn Redpine'' - has announced their intention to come to Anvil to put some of their wealth to work for the benefit of the nation. Gwyn is known to be well-connected with their peers across Therunin and has a reputation for being a shrewd and clever negotiator. They have announced that they are looking to recruit some new apprentices from the Academy - ideally young citizens aged between the ages of 14 and 17 - with an eye toward arranging some mutually beneficial trades and perhaps some more challenging work. Gwyn is expected to arrive at Anvil at noon on the second day of the summit, and will be heading for the Academy to talk to the students (and the Chancellor).

	The recent [[382YE_Winter_Solstice_winds_of_war#Game_Information_-_Dubhtraig\|raid]] on [[Bay_of_Catazar#Dubhtraig\|Dubhtraig]] has been a resounding success. In addition to the slaves freed, and the burning of Salt Lord Suriad's shipyard and palace, [[Grendel]] riches now fill the pockets of the Empire. While a fair portion of the wealth seized is represented by coinage or other easily transportable and easily spendable forms, some things have less obvious value. Carpets, ~~jewelry~~, weapons - even furniture - all were carried away from Dubhtraig as trophies.

	During the Autumn Equinox, the Freeborn [[Assembly#The National Assemblies\|national assembly]] passed a [[statement of principle]] calling for those with information relating to a [[Atun's Ring\|Ring of Atun]]. While the statement is short on details, the ring is apparently no ordinary talisman - given it is "a relic of the Brass Coast and Highguard history." Most of the interest has come to naught, but a little before the Autumn Equinox a message comes that a [[hakima]] by the name of Razzia i Guerra is bringing "a lead" to Anvil. The hakima provides no additional details, beyond the fact that they are expecting to arrive at Anvil at around two-o-clock on Saturday afternoon and intend to slake their thirst at The Forge. They anticipate meeting with Sagua i Ezmara ~~i Erigo~~ at this time to discuss suitable payment. Not very much is known about Razzia i Guerra beyond the fact that they are said to be somewhat conservative as hakima go, a proud follower of [[Guerra]], and a vocal proponent of the virtue of [[Prosperity]].

	The Freeborn are not the only people interested in Razzia i Guerra. The [[Highguard\|Highborn]] [[Lepidus#Heirs_of_Lepidus\|Heirs of Lepidus]] appear interested in this presumed [[Magic_items#Artefacts\|artefact]] - not least because of the chance that it might be the ''original'' ring worn by [[Atun]] herself and handed down from navigator to navigator until it allegedly disappeared after the death of [[Permion]]. Even if it is not that ring that is being discussed, even one of the rings that the [[The_Brass_Coast_history\|Founders]] allegedly bore out of Highguard or one of the original rings crafted by the artificers of Highguard as gifts to the [[Urizen]], would have significant historical value. With none of the Heirs able to attend Anvil this season, they urge Highborn [[Highguard_history#Archivists\|archivists]] to investigate further.

			The civil servant on the door spoke with humour., but the trader looked back at with haunted eyes.

			“You have no idea..!”

			They held out a small flat package wrapped in cloth.

			“I have this for the auction. Get what you can for it and just send the money to my house, the address is here on this note, tell them I’m done. I’ll never go to Varushka again.”

			The auctioneer frowned at the small wrapped package and note and began to unwrap it.

			“No! You fool!" The trader almost screamed at them. "Don’t open it! Don’t touch it! Just sell it!”

			“But what in the labyrinth is it? How do I describe it in the book?”

			“Say its a map," said the trader, staring off into the distance. "A beautifully carved wooden map, or at least a fragment of one. The people that want it will know what it is. There’s a market for it of that I’m sure. But I’m not going back for the rest of it! Not for all the thrones in Anvil!” </ic>

Likewise, he is not interested in using the public auction - apparently he wants to look his customers in the eye and get their measure before selling. With that in mind, he urges the "common folk" who have a little spare money to come and examine his wares and see if they can find something of interest.

Gwyn is known to be well-connected with their peers across Therunin and has a reputation for being a shrewd and clever negotiator. They have announced that they are looking to recruit some new apprentices from the Academy - ideally young citizens aged between the ages of 14 and 17 - with an eye toward arranging some mutually beneficial trades and perhaps some more challenging work. Gwyn is expected to arrive at Anvil at noon on the second day of the summit, and will be heading for the Academy to talk to the students (and the Chancellor).

	A late addition to the public auction concerns a peculiar piece of carved wood that is allegedly part of a map, apparently brought from somewhere in ~~Varsuhka~~. The trader who delivered it to the civil service gave few details and almost immediately left Anvil heading for who-knows-where. Traditionally the civil service are very cautious about handling peculiar items brought out of Varushka but as this item does not appear to be possess any immediately obvious [[curse]] they have agreed to allow the item to be sold with the usual fees. Anyone interested will be able to bid for the item in the Saturday auction.
