The Free Cities make a real effort to avoid armed conflict, especially amonst themselves, as such endeavors almost never have any real winners. But tensions grew so high in their trade conflict that the likelihood of a full blown war between two Free Cities became not just a possibility but a near certainty for months. As skirmishes commenced and slave armies were quickly drilled for action on both sides, the slave market anticipated a boost to demand as soon as the fighting intensified. Miraculously, cooler heads prevaled and the Free Cities agreed to disband their armies. While many people sighed with relief the slave market was forced into a shock adjustment, projections show a short-term price drop of up to five percent. There will be no immediate impact on you or your slaves, but the coming weeks will be a fine time to buy new stock, and a terrible time to sell. @@.yellow;The market price of slaves has dropped.@@
