Turn 12
╚═━┈┈━═╝End of Winter Year 1 TURNTURNTURNHear ye Hear ye! The Crazy Aywen returned to port today with another strange tale. At the halfway point home, they spied the fleet of fellow trading ships, some way off, heading to Northland. They noticed two of the three ships languidly veering off course, but they dared not venture nearer to find out which vessels were afflicted. Prices for Preserved Meats continue to plummet as loose lipped sailors have accidentally inspired a rumour that, following the bad batch of food poisoning mid season, the Meats themselves may be cursed.
The Audacious Crustaceous coasts into port as usual and begins unloading. It seems her sailors are pretty confident on how to dodge the st
orms. They speak among themselves about leaving
early to catch the best winds. It is hard to say if this is superstition or not.
Meanwhile, the Lead Catfish limps along behind. Despite clearly haven taken some damage, the crew seem cheerful. They say they just caught the tail end and dodged the worst of it. After unloading, the crew head to the tavern to celebrate the fact they all still have their lives.
Meanwhile, there has been a slight uptick in the price of sand as curated sand gardens have become a peaceful pastime among both the rich and poor. Who knows if the fad shall continue. Tempers in the Capitol have soothed slightly as people adjust to the new measures the Queen has put n place for the lumber shortages. It is surely a stop gap measure, however, and the Town Crier is regularly advertising the Queen's Missive.

Royal Favor counts as 1.5 Sovereigns towards bidding in this Auction. (How dare you accuse the Crown of playing favourites.) You can bid Sovereigns as usual.
gimmi the crown dat money. I mean, the most Venerable and Honourable in all the land, who happens to also be the highest bidder.
. The Ship is required to leave at the next available opportunity, not doing so will forfeit the honour to the next highest bidder. The Queen is happy to wait for the Ship to return to port if out on profitable ventures, but will not be kept waiting.
