HARPER
"Especially with all the Fae to help and advise? I think it would be a great idea. Maybe you can even cultivate a strain that doesn't have the ear-ringing side effect?" It would take either magical help or carefully hybridized breeding, but then they could have a market for those that could compete with the locally sourced algae in Torchline. It seems a little backwards to be helping her out in competing with his home region's economy, but nobody ever said nepotism wasn't effective.
As for gold...
"The Fae never mined anything, and with the Greatwood breaking apart I'm confident you'll find all sorts of raw metals. Gold is very frequently found in rivers and streams, which you now have an excess of." Not that the war's effects were something to celebrate, but they could take advantage where they needed. "Plus since it's untapped, there's probably a lot already in the rivers without needing to do excavation." Shrugging, Harper takes another bite and chews leisurely as he considers his words. "It's at least something to look into! Even if I'm wrong."

some things take insane bravery
but after that, you'll be free
