Food shortages cause merchants concern	食糧不足
A poor harvest and damaged crops are leaving some merchants short of cretain baked goods. Karn Tassen, local merchant, had this to say about the food shortage. "It is hard enough to scrape by and make enough money to pay your taxes in this town. Now with this blasted plague affecting everything, I'm starting to run out of stock. It's a mess I tell you." A call has gone to independant bakers to assist our local merchants and those abroad in keeping their supplies properly stocked. Anyone interested in assisting the community in this time of need should inquire local members of the Merchants of Qeynos. Those traveling abroad are urged to contact the Coalition of Trade Folks.
