You don't know that. Maybe those gribblies all like to trade in their off time. Everybody likes a good silk blanket, right?

The Ogres are actually the one exception to that whole lot. To my understanding, when Greasus united (I think) the Ogres, he facilitated trade between East and West in exchange for a large cut.

In canon, that was in a few decades.

There is also Karag Azul with all the fine metal crafting that can be sold now. There should be an explosion of trade with just dwarfs travelling there to get weapons.

There is also all of the people coming to try and strike it rich in Karag 8 Peaks. We essentially have become a gold mine on an already established trade route. I fully expect a boom town to happen and if we can keep it going than it will turn into a massive trade hub for the silk road.

The silk road was passable before. It was just very difficult. Not very many people were willing to risk it. Now that the difficulty has been reduced more people are willing to try it. At this point it becomes simple math.

More people are trying it so more people will get through. The more people that get through the more people think it's worth the risk. The more people who think it is worth the risk the more people will go. And so on and so on.

We could make this a huge stop on an invigorated overland trade route if the cards fall right.

OTOH we must consider that the more lucrative it is the more the Dawi Zharr will be able to make by raiding it, and thus more will raid it.
 
I'm kind of waiting for the first caravan to make it trough and it makes a fortune... rare trade praise be the gods. Then the next comes caravan and it makes a fortune and everyone is like... that is kind of weird, but exotic trade. Time goes on and people eventually figure out that this trade route is kind of inexplicably open out of nowhere. It just kind of is...
The first merchants aren't going tip people off at first to keep prices up and competition down. For the first few months it just kind of happens and then they have to rejigger all the trade routes. Some random Quest gets completely hosed as the trade route moves away from them and prices end up in flux.

Meanwhile Spider Quest is constantly whinging on and on about how stupid this siege is, until the GM informs them they are the only gribbly faction left in the area... somehow. Their survival rolls have actually been really high... its just the nonsense adventures of Belegar and his random Master magical ninja sidekick have derailed everything.

So amber journeymanlings are the GM saving throw? Sounds right.
