A tall Ulfen man look to have his say. His face bears many strange scars and deep peck marks. Also strangely, for an Ulfen man, he is dressed in the Qadiran fashion and a tattooed image of Sarenrae can be seen on his left bicep.
If you look carefully, you can see a tattooed image of Erastil on his right bicep.

"Honored Trade Prince"The Ulfen winks without hiding it.
"Through you I, Samur Scarring, have become a rich man. I now live in Katheer where the warm winds blow and the people call me Trade Prince too."
"I manage my own business now, but I know good advice when I hear it. If you say, merge with this Karela fellow, I will follow you there. If you say that we will call ourselves the Exchange, then I say it is a good name. If some of these new Cousins do not join our merger then let them go. I for one will follow your wisdom - the wisdom that has made me rich."
"Some of these Cousins speak as though we who supported Qadira have never seen blood. I can only shrug. Look at my axe little Cousins - I call it Red-Iron, Rauthjarn in the Skald tongue. So, are we Cousins or not?"
"I'm getting an ale and I'll buy for any of the Exchange. Who's drinking?"

Trade Prince Aakir

I have enjoyed the good fortune and the coin of the Qadiran nation for some time now. I have supported your causes and helped to extend the trade routes of Qadiran traders. I have learnt the merchant's trade and while it is strange to me, it is now a part of me.

I have seen and travelled through the tapestry and if there is more to be learned from it then I will help. Stopping Lissalans at the point of my axe is something that comes naturally to my Ulfen blood. My loyal friend Howlfur will tear their bodies to shreds when he finds them.

My time assisting Qadira in the Pathfinder society has made me a rich man. My good fortune ensures my loyalty in any Qadiran matters.

A tall, young Ulfen man with a battle axe looks to reply to the Trade Prince. In the background a shadowy wolf creature prowls and growls.

Trade Prince Aaqir

Adventuring in Varisia will keep me close to my Northern home. I can see the benefit of instant travel through the Hao Jin. It is a powerful thing.

Trade deals will always be in the forefront of my mind and if Janderhoff is where the greatest riches lie then I take note. I think I will need to hone not just my axe, but also my diplomatic skills.

And if a bag must be carried through the tapestry, then I will carry it. My loyalty is yours while Qadira pays my coin.

I look forward to the adventure ahead.
Trade Prince Samur Scarring

Greeting all fellow Qadirans.

I am pleased to meet you. I have introduced myself, but for any late comers, my name is Samur Scarring and I am an Ulfen man who, in truth, is something of an exile from the Ulfen people and when joining the Pathfinder society, I came to ally myself with the Qadiran cause.
Now to be clear, I am no saint, but I am not an evil man. I am a summoner, but I swing a battleaxe and enjoy the company of my friend and eidolon, Howlfur. Now that I have all of that out of the way, let me say also, that I am in the pay of Qadira. I choose Qadira because I hear that they pay well.
Don't be critical of this. I could serve the Taldans and their ruler in their Ulfen guard, but I never would. I could serve the Chelaxian mistress if kinkiness was my passion. Fanatical freedom would be the way of Andorans, and if the eternal something or other dead was my whim I would serve the Osirions. Gold is simple and honest in a strange way. I know where I stand.
So I have tried to embrace Qadira and visit Katheer. Truthfully I find the weather a bit much, but I'm getting used to it. The food and the aromas of Katheer are not always to my liking either. Perhaps I will open up a Northern food restaurant (but I don't think there would be much call for it). I have learnt something of appraising the value of things which is more interesting than I first thought. And then it came to me - where does the money actually come from?
How is there always money to pay me? Is it taxation on every sale made? What is the basis of the Qadiran economy? It had never struck me as important until I began to learn Qadiran ways, but now? Will the money ever run out? Is a "crash" coming? What thoughts are these for an Ulfen warrior you might say, but I am now an adopted Qadiran and a Trade Prince. So tell me more of this place and I will pay you for your time.

May golden coins always pour from your purse.

Man who pays homage to both Erastil and Sarenrae for they are great

A tall, young Ulfen man stands with a battleaxe on his belt. He has a young man's beard and moustache and his face is somewhat scarred with peck marks down both sides of his face. He has a tattoo of Erastil on his right bicep and one of Sarenrae on his left.
Greetings Qadirans.
I am Samur Scarring and I am new to the ways of Qadira and Sarenrae, but what I see I like, and I am outcast by my own people.
Qasir, you are short, but I have met a number of your race who are from Qadira. It seems not uncommon. Many of them seem to make good merchants. I have learnt something of the merchant art from such Qadirans. I have not heard of you, and likely you not of me, but I am pleased to meet you.
Tariq, you sound like a man of wisdom which i am not. Tell me more of Sarenrae. I feel her warmth and protection, but know little of her ways. In my lands, she is not well known.

Careful Furan

I would suggest that the Ulfen people of the North are not as simple as you think, and as an outsider you might find your trading difficult. Most Ulfen will be more likely to trust other Ulfen.

Your "lollipops" will likely make you the friend of Ulfen children, but I doubt that many savage Ulfen barbarians will stoop to purchase such a thing. Sugar and sweet things are fine for a short burst of energy, but an Ulfen man needs meat for sustained energy and strength. Perhaps you should create "meatypops".

Anyway Furan, it is good to see that your Qadiran trade extends as far as the Lands of the Linnorm Kings. I take Qadiran coin now and have leant much of Qadiran ways in my times. In some ways coin is honest. It is simple payment for services. Something a "simple" Ulfen warrior can understand.

I have felt the warmth of Sarenrae and respect her ways, but I still remember the ways of Erastil also. Both have their place.

Be strong and trade well
