This is where wood, main Quoa´s source of gold except magician missions, is cut and loaded on carts to supply other tribes.
Now it seemed that work has stopped after a long time, lumberjacks were resting under the trees or on piles of wood... not for long. Sound of coming horse awaken leader of the camp, messenger from Nerai has arrived.
"Ilena, Quoa´s people! Is here a man named Nore?" Rider stopped in the middle of camp, looking around with doubts.
"Yeeee, where else I would be?!" one of the lumberjacks stretched himself and yawned "...what is it?" He looked on the messenger. "Again Nerai?"
"I am from Nerai, but Ive come to ask for wood for Flaion, mr. Nore."
"Me and my men will send this to Flaion," he pointed on pile of wood behind him "if you pay for it."
"How much if we want the wood to be sent today?" Messanger started to search for gold in his backpack.
"Let me see..." Nore grinned. "its the best wood far around..."
"For sure it is the best wood far around when this IS the only FOREST far around." thought the messenger. He finally found the sack with gold and was counting gold in it.
"What about 4 gold for each trunk? That would make..." he turned on pile behind him "5, 10, 20... 80 gold!"
"80 gold? Thats price of..."
"Take or leave it, as you want." Nore extended hand to get the money.
"...allright." He gave the lumberjack whole sack. "And dont forget it to send it today!" he turned his horse and left in hurry.
Nore looked into the sack and grinned. "I will try to, youngster, I will try to.
Allright, men! This one is sold, we need another one!"
The lumberjacks took their axes and left to the forest.
