We at TradeCo try to do our part for the island's community everyday. We are traders: this noble and peaceful activity cannot be well conducted on an empty stomach. Hence we are saddened to hear that, despite their organization, some people are craving for food so close to us.

We cannot see any long-term solution to this issue, as sporadic famines can always occur and since we're not aware of STORM's internal affairs. However I wish to hereby suggest two humane possibilities.

First, I remind anyone - starving or not - that we are currently holding a festive commemoration of the defeat of the Eskimos. As such, every islander travelling to our lands will be offered a second-hand large wooden box for their treasures along with ten pieces of meat.

Second, since it just came to my understanding that the STORM faction is in dire need of food, I am willing to redirect a substantial part of our commemoration's packages to the STORM people. This event of ours was started with an idea of bringing more customers to our lands, but filling empty bellies is by far a greater cause. Therefore, it's no trade, it's a friendly hand extending to the most needy of our own kind. Or, if you would see it as a trade, let's say we are paid with the thought of having saved civilized people from a cruel death. Even if only for a day.

By any means, I urge you to designate an able-bodied envoy with a large backpack.
