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.
