Not long after the furious envoy from the Shattered Stone Plain left, news came from the border.
Heaps of shepherds' heads were piled into a small pyramid, and aside from the daring Norn merchants, no one else dared to trade wool on the border anymore.
In just a month, the wool input from the Shattered Stone Plain decreased by thirty to fifty percent, while the price rose by more than twenty percent.
For the nobles of the Shattered Stone Plain, the loss was not that significant.
Due to the region's unique geographical position, climate, and hydrological conditions that rivaled the mountain counties in the Thousand River Valley, only certain valley basins were suitable for farming.
Its greatest advantage lay in the abundant grassland resources and the warm, humid environment suitable for raising sheep.
