(SWEET NIBLETS I did so much math for this one. I don't even know how much of it is accurate)
After my bargaining with Kregn we exchanged messenger sigils so we could send each other messenger crows and remain updated. We shook hands and bowed in the Fennec tradition, sealing the deal. I thanked him and looked around the room; I decided to skip the Native Salamanderites for now, they live in the Hills Provinces so they are easier to contact.
I reported to Seliw the results of the bargaining with the Fennecs and gave her a copy of my notes of Elak care and biology translated into Hyena Basic for review with others within her general circle.
Despite being tribeswomen and men, literacy is a highly prized part of Hyena culture with a long, rich history, especially in the Hills Province where there is an old tradition of using the weaving of wool cloth with the different knots, colours, and details are used as a writing system, used to write ledgers of families and clans. Some of these ledgers are centuries old and have grown meters long and have become spiralling sagas of tapestries.
My next mark were the Leonisi. I approach the Leonisi representatives asking to make a trade deal for supplies. Food, leather, carts, artisan goods, mounts, these are important for war and trade. We discussed and consider our way into what could be exchanged for what. I couldn't call on the supplies of the River province in time to the Hills, but I realized that the Leonisi city states are a convenient halfway point between the River and Hills provinces.
The Hills Province could muster a force of around 21k soldiers, so we will need much leather to help with creating and maintaining armour. But in reality not all of those will be active at once. Doing the math we will need about 100 crate orders of leather. Not a small number and not an amount the River Province could make up for with its piddly livestock industry. Looking for a way to make up for it I started thinking about what the River Province has that the Plains Province doesn't.
The Plains are landlocked and is almost completely savanna. Their main agricultural products are ghison (large, fatty beasts), wheat, and keneka (A seed grown in the higher altitudes due to its hardiness). Their rivers do not supply the same sorts of plants as ours do and when I asked about what products come from their rivers the representatives couldn't answer me.
Ideas floated before my mind's inner theatre, products and values, working out the supplies and demands. The Leonisi and I eventually came to an arrangement. We will send a shipment of leather, Dynaste snail dyes, and pigments made from river plants for relatively cheap prices. In exchange for all of these leathers. These items are luxuries to the people of the plains, even if to me they are for commoners. Geography's effect on scarcity of resources was a big help in this deal.
