[QUOTE="Voidrazor, post: 3308931, member: 41605"] [sblock=Nephtys]What Melanoce learns of the historical political and trade situation could fill volumes. I'll provide all the highlights I can. But beyond that feel free to ask for specifics in any area as needed. If you haven't already, go ahead and read Shayuri's character, Sigil as well as Lord Direspirit and Serraphina DeLacorte. Melanoce doesn't know the exact numbers but, for example, knows that Sigil is supernatually agile and tough compared an unaltered Borogashi but of average strength for one. She can fly, disrupt magic at a touch, change the form of other creatures all at will. You have some general feel for what skills she has and know that she is a bluffer of legendary ability, though skill in that arena still pales before yours. She has various enchanted items that enhance her physical defenses to slightly better than your warrior robots as well as protect her from scrying, allow her to move object with her mind and, most significantly, a mirror that lets her scry upon any unwarded being in the multiverse. Kaydia has historically engaged in very little trade, although the former queen did sell some of her fey subjects as slaves in return for certain rare and obscure alchemical materials (you can't at this time deduce exactly what they were for). The slave trade stopped abruptly when Sigil took power, but pressure to resume is being put on some of the middlemen by the off-dimensional buyers. Sigil does seem interested in opening up trade along more ethical lines. But, other than the fey themselves, the planet doesn't appear to have much of value. But you could probably pay back your 'karmic debt' and come out ahead if you helped to improve the standard of living for the Autarchs there. Direspirit's world has also had limited trade. However it does have a valuable commodity in the form of faerzress-infused ore. The native drow seem to be distinctly uninterested in selling it however. Direspirit would probably be capable of getting it anyway if properly motivated. You have contacts that could get you the Codex Mortuus, an artifact that allows necromancers to summon and control a number of greater undead not otherwise available.
