The Firetooth Clan through careful diplomacy, economic dependence, and sometimes outright intimidation had bonded the various clans of Orcland to its cause in one form or another. Out of all the Orc clans, it seemed that the Stonefoot and Ironspear Clans were the closest to Thundercrown. Thus, it seemed only natural to seek to develop economic ties with the closest allies of the Firetooth who if the reports were true were looking to develop their own economies.
New Arkhaer had been transformed since its ‘liberation’ from its human inhabitants. Nearly a century since the slaughter of the humans and the sack of the great city, New Arkhaer had been rebuilt, with Firetooth aid. Lord Howell, fresh off his diplomatic agreement with the Jotun Jarldom’s had been dispatched West to determine which of the tribes might be open to expanding their markets to Seftian merchants. He had arrived with a small delegation of courtiers and bureaucrats to iron out the details of any potential deals.

Lord Howell's party were met at the gates of New Arkhaer by an Ironspear welcoming party, mounted warriors and diplomats who led the Sefti up to the hall of the city, where the chief administration of the city was conducted.
Upon their arrival, Chief Osric Ironspear met them courteously.
"Welcome, brothers in Aed and representatives of Emperor Aeron. What business brings you to New Arkhaer?"

'' On behalf of His Majesty Emperor Aeron, I am pleased to be received by such an august committee. '' The diplomat said with a bow. '' The Emperor seeks to open his ports and his cities to merchants of all of Orcland. We have recently signed a trade agreement with the Firetooth and would seek to a similar agreement with you, profit for all. '' The city had truly grown since the Conquest and to grow further still trade would need to be its new lifeblood.

"Trade is well within the desires of the Ironspear Clan. New ports opened to our merchants will do much to help our people prosper." Osric gestured for a scribe who stepped forward to jot down his acceptance of this new trade request.
"Rest assured, Aeron will find the ports of the Ironspear open to his merchants."
