Greetings to the inhabitants of the Basin,

Too often I have heard that the prices and availability of certain
commodities, metals especially, are altogether too expensive and too
rare. Warriors lament that they are unable to find the metals they so
sorely need to craft their weapons, their armours and their merchandise.
Others too suffer from the lack of a constant supply.

This is why I am making this special announcement to you all now. I have
taken it upon myself to put my every effort into negotiating, haggling,
and persuading the market managers in every village to yield the best
prices on metal commodities to me so that I may make them available to
you at discount rates and in large supplies.

For now, I will be making these deals available to you at my shop within
the Glomdoring forest, the Heart of Famine. If you're seeking metals, do
visit the Heart of Famine and check the available wares and enjoy the
savings that I will be working hard to provide you.

Penned by my hand on the 23rd of Kiani, in the year 178 CE.
