To the Councillors of Upper Sanctuary, As you realise, most trade entering the city does so through the Canal Ward docks, and the most fertile grounds for Bluecap fungus and other plants both useful and edible are in the vicinity of Lower. With the increasing dangers in that region, it would aid the city to have a less threatened supply chain.
I am seeking to establish plantations of crop plants in a location near the gates, and I have found a suitable location. Unfortunately, it requires some work, and I would ask if the Council can aid me in this.
The old forge compound in the mines, although poisoned with metals and chemicals from the smelting, may be redeemable, according to the Druids. With a heavy gate fitted to deter marauding beasts, and the tainted soil replaces with fresh sand and dung, it would provide secure, fertile ground for crops mere yards from the gates.
I require labourers to help demolish the remaining structures and rubble there, and prepare the ground according to the druids' instructions. Also, guards to fend off attacking creatures should there be any.
If you can aid in this at all, please leave word for me at the Stand or Crone.
