Standing by the window, Solenne stared at the bustling street in the distance. Since the news of Black Water had started spreading throughout the Crimson Dunes, Mantis Town had become the focal point of all the nearby forces.
At first, she could not understand why Thoren would demand the spread of Black Water, but when he explained his plan, she could not help but agree with him.
To break from the shadow of the Slave Trade Guild and the control of the Scorpion Men, they needed to make themselves so valuable that every beastmen species would have no choice but to depend on them.
And now, looking at the bustling street, hearing the noise of merchants, and visiting awakeners moving through the town, she understood the weight of that decision.
She knew that Thoren's plan was working.
Just from the rent coming from inns and the sales of water and wine from taverns, her guild had raked in a massive amount of wealth she never expected would be possible.
