Wobbleglaive once again disparages the Sand trade; "I despiseth sand. It art coarse, rough, and vexatious". The newly open-sourced Sandpaper does some work counteracting Wobbleglaive's words, but the healthy surplus in the market still sees the price drop a little.
[24 Sand Sold]
With below-maintenance levels of Wool entering the market, the price remains high- though some worry about the possibility of having to reduce production.
[6 Wool Sold]
The Crown commends Aywanez Enterprises for their selfless publication of the blueprints for Sandpaper, minor though the contribution may be.
[Aywanez Enterprises receives 1 Royal Favour]
With the recent pair of missing ships on the Norderland route, the Crown has decided that a degree of oversight over said northern neighbour is in order. A new title, Lord of Norderland, is to be created, with Royal agents already dispatched north to start collecting information. Of course, there is only one sensible way to decide who gets the title, which is another Royal Auction. The title will, once again, come with absolutely no land, subjects, or noble privileges beyond the receiving of reports on the state of Norderland and the associated trade route.
[Tag bids with LOT3BID. Minimum bid 1 Guinea/Royal Favour. Duration: 3 turns]
Following the announcement by the honourable Baron of the Nearsouthlands, the Woolritter is declared lost. Wilco Ventures is commended by the Crown for their honourable treatment of the sailors' families, especially in the face of personal losses.

The Granular Galleon, Bloody Shark, and Hardtack return to port. The Irreplaceable is still missing, as is the Enterprise.

OTHER OFFERINGS
Moira Libum is always taking donations of any amount/combination of resources, and will provide blueprints in return.
Royal Auction: "Lord of Norderland" (LOT3BID), 3 turns remaining.
NEW MECHANIC: Lost Ships. Let it never be said that the shipping industry is risk-free. A ship that fails to show up for an extended period- or is reported sunk by credible sources- will be declared Lost. Lost ships will be stricken from the list of ships on the following turn. It is still, in principle, possible for a lost ship to show up- maybe it was just extremely delayed. But don't count on it.
