Speaking With: King Rock
It was Haster's turn, and he strode up to the king with as much confidence as anyone could possibly have when reporting to their King-slash-cousin. Haster opened a small folder and flipped a page, bent a corner, made a face at it, and then began reading out loud. "My King, I've done research on the unclaimed lands in the center of the Lustrum. The four islands there have never been thoroughly charted, so I suggest you send cartographers out to survey the islands before you proceed any further.
"In terms of resources, passing ships report a plethora of trees and other flora that can be harvested for various uses in building, the crafting of twine or other rope, as well as for possible medicinal uses, though this has not been confirmed. What is certain is that the plant life will provide many resources.
"On the other hand, there is the fauna. Animal life is rarely seen in the area, but there are reports of what sound like shadow cats and jaguars, but much larger than has been seen anywhere else. It is best to proceed with caution while there.
"Finally, there is always the risk of illnesses and plagues. The islands have been uninhabited by human kind since the beginning of time, and ships only pass through, but never linger. So it is impossible to say what may reside there, and what illnesses might be brought back. It is a hot and humid area, a desert to the east and west... It has been undisturbed by men as far as we know, and therefor poisonous plants will be common, possibly even dominating other plant life.
"Animals would have adapted to live there, so it is possible they are immune to the plants, and just as likely that a lot of them are venomous as well...
"This endeavor will be dangerous. But, if dealt with correctly, I believe it will be worth it."
Haster closed the folder and looked up to his King-slash-cousin with a smile. "Any questions?"
