 STORYLINE |
With the blight worsening, desperate townspeople are stealing food to survive. Mother offered Mayor Lylia a deal: the Rooks can guard shops and speed up food imports in exchange for one vessel a month for a year being allowed in without inspections. The crowd debated the merits and faults of the deal, and Mother vowed to be ready in case of a favorable answer later. Miss Leafi has the highlights or the full log for you at the wiki: http://bit.ly/2jNLdfI |

 TIP |
Premium Tip from Tarakan: The Smithy Wagon is at FWI (in front of the bank) for the end of the July/August window and beginning of Sept/Oct one. If you didn’t have any WPS in July/Aug, you can buy 10 services in August, then buy 10 more in September to make the most of your WPS for Silvers! |
