	In addition to the local effects, the market would see an increase in Faraden goods being brought into the Empire. The [[tariffs#Mercantilist\|tariffs charged]] on Faraden imports would see an estimated 3 Thrones each season flowing into the [[Imperial treasury]]. It would also cement closer ties between the Marches and the Hakhandra family; a valuable first step toward securing access to the yaks that so fascinate Ambassador Ebenezer.

	There is however an obstacle. In the past there was conflict between the Faraden and the Empire over matters of faith and religion. The Hakhandra are not missionaries, they do not proselytise. But they are no less faithful to the [[On Faraden faith\|Five Flames]] than any other merchant house. There is some concern that old antagonisms might reignite in the Marches who, as Khutulun points out, are nearly as good as the Faraden for remembering past conflicts and holding grudges. It has been suggested that a well worded [[statement of principle]] from the Marcher national assembly might help to allay both the fears of the Hakhandra, and worries among the Marcher folk who are concerned about heretical and blasphemous foreigners coming to Upwold. If such a ~~statment~~ is issued and achieves a [[greater majority]] the upside is obvious - it will not only reduce the likelihood of problems while the Grange is being built and could encourage the Hakhandra to offer material support to the construction. There are also obvious downsides however - if any trouble ''does'' erupt between the Faraden and the Marcher farmers, then people will end up pointing the finger at the Assembly for saying it would be fine.

	Obviously, the Assembly might ''not'' favour another group of Faraden heretics establishing a trading base in the Marches. In that case, they might likewise use a statement of principle to encourage the farmers to be leary of the Faraden, and encourage the Hakhandra to take their their cattle market schemes elsewhere. This will sink the Yakholme Grange project, at least in the Marches, provided it achieves a greater majority. The good news is that even if it does end Hakhandra ambitions in the Marches, it won't inspire any kind of political disruption or diplomatic incident unless the language used is extremely vituperative. The Faraden understand the holding of grudges, and the desire to avoid another Moonwater Hall scandal is entirely understandable.

	Of all the people in the Empire to attempt to assassinate, the [[Champion of Vigilance]] has to rank as one of the worst choices. Despite this, it seems that some souls, ~~perhaos~~ courageous, perhaps foolish, perhaps both, took a shot at doing so at the Spring Equinox. By all accounts the Champion, currently Jared, is fine, alert as he is to all dangers, within and without. Details of the attack and its aftermath are somewhat garbled, and any who wish to know more should probably consult Jared himself, but perhaps more notable is the fact that the would-be assassins were citizens of Faraden, a revelation that has caused some consternation in diplomatic circles.

	While the Ambassador to Faraden did not choose to bring up the incident in their missive, the fact of it has still spread. By all accounts the staff at the Faraden embassy have quickly begun sending somewhat frantic winged messengers back home in order to determine whether anyone knows who might be responsible. This may be the one good thing about Faraden's cultural preoccupation with Justice: they are very keen to determine who is responsible for any wrongdoing. And as it happens, the perpetrators are not backwards about identifying themselves. Back in Faraden, far away from any of the events organised by the priestly coalition that invited the Empire, a group called the Cinders has reared its head and begun bragging about 'striking back against the blasphemers who submit to the False Virtues of [[Ambition\|Selfishness]], [[Vigilance\|Paranoia]], and [[Wisdom\|Doubt]].' In the understated words of the embassy staff, this is probably not a coincidence.

	A few weeks after the Spring Equinox, a large band of Faraden warriors turn up in the Marches. They come up through [[Tassato]] and [[Miaren]], giving the western territories a wide berth. They're particularly notable for their deep green coats, and finely died trousers and embroidered shirts. They are also especially gregarious for Faraden, always enthusiastic about stopping at a wayhouse or a roadside establishment to scatter handfuls of Imperial coinage for the chance to sample local delicacies. They are here to collect the sixteen head of cattle that Ambassador Ebenezer has acquired on their behalf. It's obvious that as well as being martially proficient they know their cows. They are members of the Hakhandra family, and they are very pleased. Visiting both Mitwold and Upwold cattle markets, they are at pains to speak with the farmers who raise and transport the cattle - and not only Marchers. There is a fair amount of interest in the [[Shepherd_of_the_Great_Herd#The_Great_Herd\|Great Northern Herd]], and efforts to establish the [[Million_miles_of_water#The_Cattle_Markets\|Southern Herd]] and the [[Send_for_me#Herds_of_Afar\|Herds of Afar]]. Several members lament that they will not have time to actually visit [[Skarsind]], [[Mareave]] or [[Feroz]] - at least not on this trip. The leader of the Faraden contingent -the enthusiastic ''Khutulun Hakhandra'' - makes a point of taking several of their friends to visit Kings Stoke, especially keen to meet '''Steward Watkin''' who was apparently key to ensuring the cattle were all collected.

	In addition to the agreed on payment, Khutulun thanks the Ambassador and the embassy staff. The Hakhandra are interested in cementing closer ties with the Marches in particular, to buy the many exotic Imperial delicacies available in the markets of [[Mitwold]] and [[Upwold]] as well as fine Marcher cows, goats, and pigs. In recognition of the work Ebenezer has done, the Hakhandra have arranged for a small amount of equally fine Faraden victuals to be delivered to the [[Segura#The_Faraden_Embassy\|Embassy]] in Segura each season. With an eye towards doing more business in future.		In addition to the agreed on payment, Khutulun thanks the Ambassador and the embassy staff.

The [[Sea of Snow#Pelabuhan\|Pelabuhan]] port is the destination for Imperial [[fleet]] captains who wish to trade with the western nation. It is here that the unique ''~~Giant Blood Whelks~~'' are acquired, and thanks to negotiations with the Imperial Ambassador, it's also a place to acquire luxury goods, especially fine food and drink, and rich fabrics (which can be sold in the Empire; a standard fleet secures goods worth 54 rings when resold in the Empire).

	Knowing that there is continued Imperial interest in fine goods, Caitun merchants have begun stocking some of the rare cheeses produced by Faraden magician-fromagers. While the Faraden make excellent cheese, the cattle of Pelabuhan are known for an especially rare form of cheese infused with rare materials gathered in the shadow of the cliffs of [[Sea of Snow#Sadewnan\|Sadewnan]]. Called ''mooncheese'' Mistress Karadragha writes in an amused tone that it is not ''actually'' from the moon; the name is, traditional for a certain kind of hard, tangy cheese. The fromargers produce several different variants and the merchants of Caitun are able to make some of them available to Imperial fleet captains in place of [[orichalcum]]. A standard fleet visiting Caitun will get a single cube of common mooncheese. If the fleet is sufficiently [[fleet#upgrades\|upgraded]], or bears an enchantment at least equivalent to [[Lure of Distant Shores]], the captain will also gain a cube of red, green, or blue mooncheese which is considered a considerable delicacy in Faraden (the variety will be picked randomly).

Called ''mooncheese'', Mistress Karadragha writes in an amused tone that it is not ''actually'' from the moon; the name is, traditional for a certain kind of hard, tangy cheese. The fromargers produce several different variants and the merchants of Caitun are able to make some of them available to Imperial fleet captains in place of [[orichalcum]]. A standard fleet visiting Caitun will get a single cube of common mooncheese. If the fleet is sufficiently [[fleet#upgrades\|upgraded]], or bears an enchantment at least equivalent to [[Lure of Distant Shores]], the captain will also gain a cube of red, green, or blue mooncheese which is considered a considerable delicacy in Faraden (the variety will be picked randomly).
	* '''Common Mooncheese''' - A quarter-inch cube of common mooncheese is a semi-hard cheese, sometimes painted with pale wax. It is tangy and rich with a fruity taste. So tasty is it that even a single cube is known to improve the mood of the one who eats it, to leave them feeling sated and full for the rest of the day as if they had eaten a whole meal, and incidentally alleviates the effects of both [[Calls#WEAKNESS\|weakness]] and [[Calls#VENOM\|venom]].		* '''Common Mooncheese''' - A quarter-inch cube of common mooncheese is a semi-hard cheese, sometimes painted with pale wax.

	* '''Red Mooncheese''' - Visually hard to tell apart from common mooncheese, it is usually painted with red wax. It tastes hot and spicy, and some folk can have an unpleasant reaction to it that leaves them unable to speak louder than a whisper for a time. It is also delicious - provided one likes spicy food. Favoured by Faraden wizards who study the [[Autumn magic\|Autumn Flame]] it apparently focuses and enhances their ability to manipulate the force of serendipity when [[enchantment\|blessing]] business endeavours.		* '''Red Mooncheese''' - Visually hard to tell apart from common mooncheese, it is usually painted with red wax.
