A Scottish Emissary arrives;

He is welcomed into the Jarl's Hall with all appropriate fanfare. The Jarl speaks.
'Yes? What brings you to mine halls?'

A Dalmatae diplomat asks to see the Jarl.

He is invited to the great hall.

The diplomat bows and says:

"I wish to ask for trade with your nation"

Trade is accepted. What do you wish to trade with our Jarldom?

OOC: History being written, check back ya'll! :P

"Your fur weapons and metals for our gold, warhorses and honey."

'Accepted. Pleasure to do business with your land.'

"May we have future endeavours together. Goodbye."

Bump.
