And which is far enough from your homes that there shall be no disturbance. Mineral recourses, which shall not disturb you considering that you have no use for them currently and also considering that they are located below ground, where you are not. Free port access is simply the concept of not taxing ships to encourage more goods to flow in and out, which is far more than what is gained from taxes. Protection for Umbarians in your lands is simple logic, we may be allies, and we protect each other, you wouldn't like it if Tankul were murdered in Umbar and we did nothing about it. As for the pass to the dark lands, we meant it not as a threat, but as a call for peace. Have your people ever even used to pass into the dark lands out of the jungle? Lastly, I would wish to clear up misunderstandings, we are not threatening to increase violence, we simply meant to say that this deal would cease pre-existing violence between our nations. Further, we will not touch the lumber or livestock resources, only the mineral" Miriel nods, agreeing. "Pane is indeed right, this affects you in no detrimental way."
