This one came to me through our meeting with Barmie Dingles. He told us about this marauders' citadel at the very end of Oflovak Road. Marauders who wouldn't let us pass without compensation. I realized that this was a great opportunity. The marauders have managed to survive without the help of the Powers. They have developed a technology that allows them to teleport without the help of Kamis or Karavan. They know how to make weapons, drilling machines, armor. All this science, all this knowledge, deserves to be shared.

Remember that robbery at the Imperial Academy by the tribe of the Scorchers. It all came about because the chancellor refused to share the knowledge, in this case a manuscript on gooified timaris. Because we did not trust them, because we wanted to keep the knowledge, jealously, for ourselves alone. This is what we have to fight.

I say that as long as the marauders do not encroach on our territory, as long as they do not infringe on our interests, an exchange can take place with them, as well as for food and raw materials as for knowledge. This is what I will negotiate at the citadel. To open a dialogue with them. I doubt that it will be enough for them to let us pass their citadel, but at least it will work in my favor. And then, I count on Eeri to find something more tangible to offer them.

When I get back, I'll tell you that in person. I will tell you that yes, I negotiated with the marauders. Yes, I dared to offer them to exchange our knowledge, our manuscripts, our ambers. But not out of treachery, rather out of a sense of diplomacy. For a long time I was adept at axe diplomacy. And I don't think it's the most effective.
