Silver Trading Concerns, a new company opened by the reclusives Busisness woman Melanis' Silveras began trading today. Bringing together the ladies already controling stake in many of Giltheran's busisness fields it looks to add new areas to it's portfolio. Exports began today in Evermead the first real vintage to come from the Islands, it bears the Kings own seal as Githras himself bought and sampled the first Bottle, declearing it as good as the best from their old home.

'The Ladies extensive investments appear to have paid off, indeed I rarely tasted better.' Was his official statement on the matter.

A Grand total of One Hundred and Fifty Bottles of the year have been placed up for sale, with prices starting at the 200 Gold Piece range. Othr years have been avaible for some time, and while they are adequete, none have had that special quality of home... until now.'

Of course the STC is not merely limiting itself to the wine industry and the profits from this industry, along with the ladies own seemingly bottomless purse have been plunged into establishing new fields for her attention. Today the next stage of this expansion was annouced with the hiring of the most promising new Craftsmen, mny of them key players in the construction of the Guardian which guards the shores of these Islands. A spokesperson for the company stated.

'Within the decade we hope to be producing our own line in exclusive items, ranging from the simple broch to the stunning suit of armour, avaible in both Magical and None-Magical versions. To ensure the continued supply of materials for this project we hope to soon be opening negotiations and contracts with various companies to establish regular supplies of raw Materials, competative offers will be sought.'

The Mystery of whom Exactly the Lady behind Silver Trading Concerns still rages within the Isles of Giltheran, many state that a Lady of such Wealth would not have gone unnoticed back on Evermeet, yet none can remember having met her, but in a decleration investigation into her identity rmains forbidden at this time by the King, who seems unwilling to risk angering a woman who has become so importent to the continued prosperity of the Isles.

'As Long as her intentions remain Noble, I see no reason to intrude upon her wish for seclusion.' is all he would say in the open session of the council of houses on the matter.
