Action by Orvyn
With the travel to Arx and rebuilding, renovating, and cleaning of the Harthall Keep, there has been little opportunity to focus on the current affairs at Fair Harbour. Now that the Keep is in proper working order and the Trade office has been open for business, the Harthall family can get back to the management of Fair Harbour. Utilizing the new relations that they have all made throughout Arx and with the knowledge that they have gained of the current events, it is possible for them reach out with the individual specialties to generate the best possible outcome for growth of the March.
The Marquis Orvyn Harthall will be overseeing the economic impact and nuances that are needed in governing such a large project, ensuring that routes are made open, payment is taken care of and both new and existing methods of commerce are best applied to ensure overall success. He will work with the various trade captains and merchants in the employ of House Harthall to find the best rate for goods and services that they will need in the building of new homes, new farms, and travel costs. He will put forward the call to others of the Harthall family to take part and offer their expertise in their individual fields of study so as to best move the March forward to a brighter and more secure future.
Action by Islin
With his family once more focusing on the growth of their March, Islin will be devoting some of his time to helping them. As he serves as one of the Captains in their fleet he will have his ship making regular runs both with and without him, mainly to patrol, make supply runs and insure that the supply lines stay open. He will focus mainly on his strengths the military and economic aspects of the family business, doing what he can to assist.
Action by Brannen
Though no longer enjoying the privileges or protections of lordship, Sir Brannen is lending his mind for martial leadership to House Harthall. Specifically, Brann will be actively helping to access Fair Harbour militant's needs and daily mechanisms. He'll concentrate on streamlining military procedures, maintaining productivity while trimming unnecessary spending. He will do this with as grim and worrisome an expression as possible.
Action by Liliana
Not sailor, nor economic advisor, Liliana chooses a different path to take. She is good at procuring things, and list-making to make certain all the things are purchased. She will draw up lists of all the things a good household needs, from dishes to bedding, from spices to horseshoes, from nails to hammers, from anvils to horse feed, from horses to chickens, from bandages to buckets.. and so forth. She's seeking to purchase all the things that they'll need right away until the settlements become self-sustaining.
Lists in hand, off she'll go to do what she does best: shop! She'll scour the city of Arx for merchants willing to provide quality goods at discounted prices due to volume and future business. She pays well, despite requesting discounts, to have everything carted down to the docks and stored in warehouses for transport upon Islin's ship, and others in the fleet.
Additionally, she knows the lands where she grew up like the back of her hand. She'll suggest potential places for settlement that are near travel routes (likely rivers) with sunny plains for planting, and woods nearby for timber and hunting.
Action by Sunniva(RIP)
Action: Marquessa Consort Sunniva Harthall is a woman of heart and passion and belief in her family and their holdings. They have the room and the ability to take on more people and give them a place to find a home. She begins by speaking to the refugees that have been gathering in Arx and expounding upon the benefits of relocating to Fair Harbour and the isles owned by the Harthall March. She will speak of her belief that everyone has a place and a purpose and that Harthall welcomes all those who wish for a purpose and a prosperous life with the opportunity to find a stable place to live.
Action by Hadrian
Marquis Hadrian doesn't rule over House Harthall. He's not even a vassal of the Oathland's House. What he is though is connected, socially and economically, through his own House. So while he can not speak for House Harthall, he can certainly speak OF them. Taking on a support role within the endeavors of Marquis Orvyn Harthall and House Harthall, Hadrian plans to speak with a number of other influential members of society - particularly within the world of finance and commerce. The message is clear: House Harthall is making efforts to drive trade toward Fair Harbour and they have his vote of confidence.
Within that effort, Hadrian will likewise be working to promote greater trade relations between Ostria and Fair Harbour. In the midst of rubbing elbows and directing further commerce toward Fair Harbour, so too does Hadrian make efforts to bring further trade to the ports and gates of the city-state of Ostria. Economic wealth, after all, promotes growth. And Ostria's in need of another ring or two of walls!
Action by Cambria
Cambria is the other half to Hadrian's plans to promote Harthall and Fair Harbor. Whereas he applies the oil to the proverbial gears, she oversees operations to make sure the right person is in the right place, or the right goods at the right price. Promoting good relations between Ostria and Fair Harbor benefits each, and in turn, the Compact at large.
Result
Marquis Orvyn Harthall has turned his hand to his lands with stunning focus. In trade and in advantageous dealings he has amassed a massive amount of resources that he, with single-minded purpose, immediately invests into the March - particularly surrounding improvements to Fair Harbour.
Lord Islin helps him now, devoting his time to train and strengthen their naval base. Sir Brannen leads military drills and training on land. Lady Liliana lends an organizational hand, and Marquessa Sunniva speaks of how close the Harthall family holds their responsibility to build and protect their domain and their people.
Marquis Hadrian and Marquessa Cambria, not to be left out, spend time reaching out to praise the entire Harthall family and to hold them up as examples to all. Overall though, the work speaks for itself as Fair Harbour is positively thriving, even in the dead of winter.
