Chapter 1111: Regional Agreements
Karl considered the options for a few moments, then made a proposal for the Immortal Regent.
"What if we restrict items to open access by the Alliance, as per our Alliance agreement, and then hold a once monthly auction for select equipment? We do that in Drodh, and the Lord sends someone to vet the items, to ensure we don’t sell anything that will be too problematic.
That way we can at least maintain some level of reputation among the other Guilds in the city, and those with money from all over the Dragon Isles will have a chance to snatch the items away and remove them from the region?" Karl suggested.
Azov smiled. "That is not a bad option. You see, my major concern is not the power level of the items that you are selling. If you equipped the whole city, things would balance themselves out again.
What I am concerned about is an alliance so obscenely wealthy that they use that clout to upset the balance of power.
If your Alliance is making enough that they can simply buy out or put bounties on entire Alliances for displeasing you, how am I supposed to keep things relatively peaceful and stable?
I won’t stand for that level of chaos in my territory."
Cara laughed quietly in her space. He was definitely talking about Supreme Lady Matilda right now, and extending his opinion of her to Karl.
Karl smiled, "Fear not, the Drodh branch is somewhat less chaotic than our Guild Elder’s branch. We’re not actually big on causing trouble for others most of the time."
The Immortal laughed. "That implies that you are for chaos and trouble some of the time."
Karl shrugged. "Well, we do have a Chaos Badger. But mostly the issue is that some people just deserve to be troubled."
