The oligarchs of the Halveetian League have long enforced their tax and trade laws against villages and seaside ports that have no voice in the League Council!
Promises have been made, but never kept, that local taxes would benefit local people, to fund public improvements, to guard against Stamm, or to provide for law enforcement
LOCAL TAXES DONOTHING OTHER THAN FILL THE SILK-LINED POCKETS OF MERCHANTS IN THE MAJOR LEAGUE PORTS
VOLUNTEERS ARE SOUGHT TO JOIN BLOCKADE-RUNNERS TO SUPPLY VILLAGES ON THE SHORES FROM VISAIYAIN TO TARRISH WHO CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY THEOUTRAGEOUS TAXES DEMANDED BY THE LEAGUE
