[QUOTE="Systole, post: 6107537, member: 93930"] Cardinal Fortino nods. [COLOR=#00ffff]"Your acceptance was a bit showy for my tastes, which means you'll probably do fine. People always appreciate a bit of pomp and circumstance. Well then, let's be off. I'll answer your questions on the way." [/COLOR]After directing your personal effects and Thundar to be brought to the docks, you and the cardinal get into his personal carriage and set off toward the wealthier section of Venza. "[COLOR=#00ffff]The charter demands two things: that you build a safe port for Venzan ships, and that you to create and expand Venza's trading opportunities." [/COLOR]He smiles with just a hint of self-satisfaction. [COLOR=#00ffff] "Of course, there's a clause under 'building a safe port for Venzan ships,' that in part defines a safe port as 'providing a haven for those who worship Venza's natural gods.' Hah, I lobbied for that line, and it paid off. "To put it another way: build a port, make it defensible, claim and map the surrounding lands, be on the lookout for trade opportunities ... and spread the faith of Tanager. As you'll be months from direct oversight, how you go about doing those things will be largely up to you."[/COLOR][COLOR=#00ffff] [/COLOR]He spreads his hands. [COLOR=#00ffff] "Help will largely be where you find it. If you have need of a specialist, let us know, and we'll do our best to find a suitable candidate.

Umberto Gabbiano is one of Venza's few nobles with a sense of ethics, and Geralt Franco is an importer and a very successful merchant." [/COLOR]The cardinal chuckles a little.
