Repairs are coming along well. It was a tough winter for those forced to face it in tents and borrowed accomadations. Many were forced to leave the city and head to rural villages and the like, though money and work in Mariner's Hold was good, raising a family in a tent was not. Those boarding houses on the other side of the city that were not hit turned into a gold mine for their owners with the cost of rooms sometimes quadruple what would normally be charged and rooms divided in half to make more space and more profit.
The barracks alotted to the masons and troops from Lord Rael are modest as is the black flag with the red circle flying above it. The human and part elven troops sent abroad by the dwarven lord seem to blend well into the city, though with their arrivial there is a noticable decline in the number of Berilite healers around the city. Those seen are never gnomes but of a different race in the service of Her Perfection.
Rael's men help to organize the building and things are going orderly. On the advice of his Rael advisor, the King has set limits on the amount of food and building materials each vendor may have and a ceiling price they may charge to ensure that all the masses have equal opportunity to resources and not just the wealthy. There is some grumbling about this in Deliarite circles but it is minor. There are still plenty of avenues to make a coin in Mariner's Hold.
