Everybody needed salt, and the further away from the salt pans by the sea you got, the more precious it was. So Karva put together a caravan. One year’s time, and carts, animals, people, cargo. But it would pay off.
It was a long way to the mountain-locked nation of Raaji, and the people had to help push the carts up the pass roads, but it would be worth it.
But no-one wanted to trade anything like Karva had expected. Finally she snapped and asked.
“You want far more than the Goblins.”
“Goblins?”
“They bring salt from underground.”
