The Merchant of Valinor by Tehta

Formen (north)

Finally! Our period of inaction is at an end; the Noldor are splitting into multiple hosts, led by their various princelings. Relocating will not be easy, as my stock of wealth has grown beyond what can be carried in a single cart, but that should set me up nicely in whatever place I choose as my new base of operations.

My first thought was to follow Morifinwë since, while he is too short-tempered to negotiate well, he understands trade–but then I changed my mind, for his understanding of trade includes a concept he calls ‘taxation’. Each of his brothers has flaws I am tired of (all the Fëanárions are some combination of too violent, too crafty, and too miserable) and, besides, they all plan to remain in the cold North.

No, I shall join Lord Findaráto, who has riches but no business sense, and who has leave to enter Doriath,  Telerin merchant.a kingdom closed to low-born Telerin merchants.
