"And what concessions would you have us make?" "Allow us free reign over the jungle coastline, which we may do whatever we like with, untaxed trade in the jungle, promise that merchants or any Umbarians in Tanakul lands will remain unharmed, free ancorage at any ports you have, and allow us to control the southern pass between the jungle and the dark lands. You shall allow Umbar to extract any mineral resources, if you have any, from your jungle that you have not exploited. And a guarantee that the lands and conditions named above shall be maintained for perpetuity. The man laughs, but he doesn't look like he finds it funny. "So let me get this straight. You would have us allow you to desecrate and rape our land of it's natural resources while utterly destroying any of our trade, use special tax conditions for Umbaran merchants that we don't even give our own merchants, promise to let your merchants do whatever they wish, anchor in our ports and suck out our trade for free, control one of the most beneficiary trading and fishing passes on this continent, take whatever you want from our lands, and moreso give up any right to revoke these terms? I must say princess, you have a hell of a lot of balls."
