Matches.
The things by which humans started fire when they didn’t have magic.
Hadama considered the item for awhile before moving through the canals once more, swimming slowly as he sought out a place where such things would be made.
He had to stop and ask a few people before he finally found a place towards the outskirts; a warehouse rather than a shop. Many shops sold matchsticks in small quantities, but in order to buy in bulk he needed to go to the place where they were made. It took more time before he could catch the attention of one of the employees and convince them to fetch their boss; a Mr. Augustus Crow, who was puffing fiercely on a pipe as he stood over the canal and listened to Hadama’s request.
”Matches, for war supplies. At the Queen’s request,” he rumbled. ”Delivered to the Halenani. As much as you can spare.” In exchange he removed a handful of large pieces of wave-smoothed amber from his pouch that would have any jeweler in town drooling over.
Hadama offers amber pieces in exchange for matches from Mr. Crow’s warehouse.
