In
Suzail, representatives of at least two established noble houses have quietly pursued a campaign of influence to turn the Crown's attention to the northeast. Certain courtiers have been approached, and at least one senior courtier is known to have passed word to Queen Raedra that it would benefit the Crown, and thus
Cormyr, to upgrade the Stonebolt Trail north of Griffon Hill to something more than a footpath inhospitable to anything larger than a mule-drawn cart.
Gossip passed between palace courtiers has identified the subject of lucrative Crown contracts to service Castle Nacacia with foodstuffs and supplies as the reason for this noble maneuvering. The noble house that wins the yearly contract is certain to receive a boon of coins to fill their coffers and a boon of stature sure to elevate them among their peers.
