"Ah, lovely," she said, leaning forward a bit. "Straight to the point, very good.
"The Nuralian Merchants' Guild, as implied by the name, represents the Nuralian holdfast in matters of trade. We have access to most resources produced in the holdfast, and are able and authorized to both import and export. The main pure resources that the holdfast currently produces, aside from smaller industries of common goods, are dyes, mainly in the ochre and yellow range of colors, but greens are quite common too - blues would be more expensive to produce but could be done, if in smaller amounts - as well as copper and tin ore and refined metal.
"I understand that Mestrland already has a thriving domestic copper industry, so while Nuralian copper is of quite good quality, perhaps you wouldn't be too interested in this particular resource. However, if my research is correct, you do not have any easy access to tin, correct? If so is the case, we would be able to provide a supply of said metal for your use, or if you wish to skip a step in the production chain we could indeed export ready made bronze as well.
"This brings me around to our main export goods, one of which - bronze - you've already heard of now. We do supply some bronze goods as well, if there is demand for it. Armour, weapons, tools, et cetera. Along a similar line we do also have access to a more exotic material. An endemic mineral to the Peaks, red crystals that - while quite brittle when compared to metal - serves as a good analogy to bronze equipment and can be used as a substitute in most situations. Myself, I have this."
She ended her statement with withdrawing a little container from a nearby drawer and placing it before Adri. Inside was a knife, not particularly notable, except for the fact that it seemed to be made of red glass, presumably the crystal of which Ningñalëka had spoken. "Please, inspect it if you wish. While it may look like glass, I assure you its integrity is quite sturdy, akin to bronze," she said and sat down again.
"Other than this, we also have a quite extensive production of cloth and clothing articles. This in combination with our production of dyes allows crafting of some quite intricate wares, of which I'm sure you could find quite some use.
"And finally, we of course produce the everyday goods of any holdfast, moderate amounts of timber and food, stone, expertise within various fields. If there was interest, we could sell this on for reasonable compensation, too. I hear the boatbuilders of Nurali are quite proficient, even if I personally don't know much of the field."
Finally, she leaned back and relaxed, taking a moment to let Adri have it all sink in. She smiled to herself as she considered her earlier choice of words. Perhaps she had gotten carried away. The poor man hadn't asked for an entire lecture on Nuralian domestic industry, but oh well, at least he would be more informed about the goods they could offer now. He could always ask if there were any specific things he wondered about.
