Goods - Money - Goods

What are we doing here? Who can we trade with? We need some big deals! What are we supposed to do here? Sell beads to the yetis?

There's a mountain tribe on that allod over there, but all those savages know how to do is fight. Trading with them is a little strange - we leave our goods out for them in an agreed location, and the next day we go back and collect whatever they give in exchange.

It's mainly just skins, claws, and innards - that's all they ever have that's worth taking. We know it's not much, but you've got to start somewhere. We're like missionaries, bringing the light of civilization to this backward people.

Truth be told, we're doing this all at a loss - it's all about the principle. Often times, we'll leave our goods there for them and get zilch in return! But we're not ones to give up that easily! We've decided to give it one more go. So, do you want to help us bring civilization to these savages?

We'd like to point out that while it may be the mages who maintain the allods it's us, the traders, who unite the whole world. We might go broke, but we're forcing those barbarians to trade with us! That's how civilization is born!

So, how are you liking your role as a missionary? What's that?! An ambush by the savages?! It looks like not all of those savages are ready for mutually beneficial cooperation. It seems like our friendly relationship has come to an end. Looks like it's time for us to find a new pursuit.
