The hall of Durin's Folk was filled with delegations from far and wide, Elves, Hobbits, Dwarrows and Men. Lord Duinn presented the Trader's Banquet as the platform for secure trade in Eriador highlighting the establishment of the Durin's Folks Trading Company wirth outposts in Zigilgund and Othrikar.
All were welcome to join in relations and trade opportunities, and many were eager to begin. The outposts offered vast reserves of silver, gold and iron, which all were interested in as war became ever more apparent in all lands near and far.
Long into the night they discussed what was to be done, how it was to be done and of the outposts, and of the trade. Goods from far and wide to holds and outposts scattared in every direction, it was obvious to all that the caravans would flow, but they would be have to be armoured to ensure safety of trade.
Another trade banquet would soon be arranged, but the night drew to a close in the Halls of Durin's Folk with wine, meat, music and dice.
