Jartapur is a city-state located at the mouth of the Merfates River down which could be found the heart of Arumelia. But between Jartapur and Arumelia is the renegade province of Danbak Kryle. With the river traffic interfered with by that nation, Jartapur has declared its independence from Arumelia and now trades with the rest of the world as a free nation. However, it is an open secret that Arumelia intends to sieze Danbak Kryle again, and after that, Jartapur could well lose its own independence. Some favor this, as this would bring back the trade of old. Others fear Arumelian retribution.
The prince of Jartapur is reviewing his options for Jartapur’s future. The most immediate question is the price of allowing a division of Venteelan mercenaries to pass down the river to attack Danbak Kryle on Arumelia’s behalf. Allowing them to pass could set the city-state up to fall after Danbak Kryle is conquered. On the other hand, keeping them out is likely to annoy Arumelia and prompt an attack as well. At least the Venteelans are offering money.
