A high-ranking merchant of the FHTC (Far Harad Trading Company) meets with the Umbarian leadership.

"First of all, I'd like to pass on our CEO's congratulations. Your new laws are far more sensible than most nations of men. However, down to business. First, Ms. Slythe would like to know: would you prefer to start working with me or other merchants right off the bat, ot would you prefer to conduct the first meeting in person with Ms. Slythe?"

Meanwhile, very near Dunland...

2,000 Grey Elven Cavalry marched, accompanied by a force of 3,000 Rohirric cavalry and an odd 1,000 or so Rohirric troops, towards Dunland. It was weakened by the War of the Ring, and the last of the evil forces in the west. And so Eureka led his forces and those of his allies to wipe it from the map, once and for all.

(so basically, around 6,000 Elven and Rohirrim led by Eureka are endeavouring to raze Dunland. Should I narrate it?) "I consider it unwise to do business without knowing who is behind it, if she will allow it I would like to meet her. Otherwise I will be rather cautious at the start."

Meanwhile...

I know I'm but a lowly grunt sire, but isn't the treaty threatened. We need it for it is rather useful..." Yes Grohsh, I know. Send a scout to the remaining Uruk Hai in their holds, we shall defend our interests!"

The battle goes poorly, the Dunlendings know their rugged homeland well. Horses, men and elves fall to traps and the wells are poisoning men. The Dunlendings had thrown ground up animal droppings into them. They were expecting to steal food from the populace, but the earth was black and barren; the men of Dunland had razed their homes and killed the game to deny the enemy. Many are beginning to question whether dealing a dirty blow to hardly harmful enemy is justified. The scattered war parties of orcs and Uruk Hai are prepared to uphold their oaths and defend their weakened allies... Even if it means igniting a brutal war over an old grudge...
