N.B: the main "interesting games" wholesaler has warned that, with the fall of the ukL from us$2 to ~us$1.50, the cost prices and therefore the ukL rrps of games imported from merkia are going to be rising by ~30% above their pre-November 2008 prices; this is unavoidable.
some of the new, higher ukL prices have already begun to feed through, so if there are games, sourcebooks, expansions and adventures already in stock (or available) that you know you want, please don't leave buying them too long, or the prices could easily be (roughly) one third higher than they are now...

the inhabitants of each castle have particular needs and desires, and will pay the first merchants to supply them a better price than latecomers - but longer and more difficult routes take longer, and harbour greater risks that are likely to send merchants back to their warehouses with neither goods nor profit; and the first merchant to fill their purse with gold is the winner
