His aides chime in with a few facts as well. He notes that in the past there was a larger population of fishermen here, but with the decline of population during the plague years the size dropped. He believes that there is considerable good fishing in the waters around Tregere. He also notes that cattle have never done were here, but that goats and pigs seem to flourish. A few people favor water buffalo, but they have never been in large numbers. They serve a good dual purpose as meat and labor, but his people have never been able to stomach the milk or cheese from water buffalo. "Tregere is pretty much a backwater port. We don't get too many raiders, but if our enterprises grow we may have troubles. I can certainly recruit more men to arms. However, the plantation owners and Imperials get nervous if the locals have too many men under arms. They don't entirely trust the 'savages'." He says the word with a certain scorn that suggests he has experienced some racial tention with the humans here. "You might be better able to negotiate that than I." </blockquote>
