+##3 Tulimshar Imposes Trade Regulations
+##3 2010-08-29
+##0 Throughout Argaes, new trade regulations from
+##0 Tulimshar have concentrated wealth and power
+##0 inside Tonori's largest city.  The primary 
+##0 resource of Argaes, iron ore, now must be 
+##0 refined into ingots within Tulimshar's
+##0 imperial capital.
+##0
+##0 Argaes miners, in search of new iron deposits,
+##0 have discovered a hostile mine north east of
+##0 the woodland town of Hurnscald.  More details
+##0 are coming in about this mine.

 ##0 While still slow to act, Tulimshar has begun 
-##0 monitoring the changing monster threat in the sandstorm
-##0 and sent agents into Argaes.  The landbridge that long 
-##0 united Argaes with Tonori has fallen into the sea,
-##0 prompting Tulimshar's merchants to charge a hefty fee
-##0 for trade and travel between the two continents.

-##0 Something sinister has happened to Taro, Nivalis and
-##0 the magical connection Kaizei had with Argaes.  Some
-##0 speculate it has something to do with the evil while
-##0 others think Nivalis and the Sages of Kaizei want to
-##0 isolate themselves from Tulimshar's influence.
-##0 Either way, all portals to Kaizei have been closed.
