Trade Association of Blackwood & Gideon
Dear Road Administration of Gideon,
I was wandering back to Leyawiin from a business meeting in Murkmire when I noticed suddenly a concerning structure blocking the road.
I was not informed of any changes or upcoming construction projects on this road, and upon asking several other merchants from the area, I was told they also were not informed in any way of this matter.
Such a big undertaking should ideally always be first discussed and approved by the citizens as a whole through democratic process; but, at the very least it should without question be approved by the local Merchant Committee of Gideon. This kind of unannounced roadwork can be incredibly detrimental to the efficiency of our interregional trade routes! Furthermore, it damages the reputation of Blackwood as an influential trade figure in the eyes of reputable merchants all over Tamriel.
The material of the structure seems to be completely and utterly intangible, and with Ayleid influence. If this is the result of some secret experiments by some of the local magisters, then I have to express not only my displeasure with, but also my concern of the allowance of these kinds of activities in our region with no trace of preapproval.
In the name of the Trade Association of Blackwood & Gideon, we request to be informed and polled regarding projects of this size, especially if they would be affecting our day to day business.
Attached to this letter is an accurate painting representing the situation.
