It would have been before we more than doubled our membership though. _Eventually_ we'll want to expand into the areas you mentioned, but I honestly can't say when. The next step will be expanding into Parglug, Videssia, and the Northern Free Cities. >>Possibly Exquaestio and Ka'Shari can work out some sort of agreement? >>Exquaestio would be willing to trade something in exchange for being >>generally and permanently being allowed "working passage" on Ka'Shari >>vessels, but I don't know what the Ka'Shari would want in exchange. >------------------------- >We certainly don't mind providing working passage to land dwellers.

(I.e. 0-2 per year) This is definitely not the year to put a ship at Exquaestio's disposal then, but this action might be modified to simply establishing formal relations. I have no idea what that would involve though, and Exquaestio's current administrative center is about a week's travel inland.
