It's common knowledge that merchants can make profit by collecting goods from
hunters, and then selling it for a higher price. Recently plundering a
barbarian tribe has made it a bit risky business. Problems have led to a
situation where merchants were forced to built fort-like settlements to
protect their trading items.

A new pretty small area is located somewhere in the tundra far north.

Yes, this area is related to a large and if I could say chaotic project that
someone will finish later this year.

Have fun (send your bugs and ideas to me),
