The lamps were lit in Povus last night, so I stopped by to pick up any parcels. I have a standing agreement with Povus for chainmail and platemail.

The lamps were lit in Povus last night, so I stopped by to pick up any parcels. I have a standing agreement with Povus for chainmail and platemail.

How does this work?
I have trade agreements with some of the smaller Rakshasa towns, including Povus. There are buyers lined up in Statehelm for quality hand-crafted chainmail and platemail. Sizing isn't too important, as long as it can fit on a human.

What's the exchange rate for metal armor?
The arrangement is simple: I pay half the armor's estimated sale value, in Councils, directly to you. Then I sell the armor in Statehelm and make a modest profit.

Half the cash value? That's not a very fair offer!
Well, I also pay in exposure! I'll tell everyone that the armor was made in Povus. Word of mouth will drive more business, and eventually this sorry town will recover! And it's all thanks to you! And me! We'll be heroes. Whaddaya say?
(In addition to a modest coin payout, giving Ishiko armor also earns Town XP for Povus, helping it level up).
