Some folks might have been Very Confused when High Lord Victus Thrax appointed one Magpie Grayhope to handle their supply lines. But in a surprising move, not only has Magpie done an excellent job, with his team of scallywags (and Mayir and Fortunato, though it might conceivably be argued that both also could be considered scallywags) have organized a supply chain to Setarco that has the Silken City well stocked for the future.
Perhaps it's that entrepreneurs (read: smugglers) know how to get things from point A to point B. Perhaps it's that Magpie is singularly motivated. Perhaps it's just that his sailors are too drunk to notice how hard Magpie is actually working them, since with a ready supply of booze has come a drinking game not mentioned in polite company. Whatever his strategy it works, and Setarco - and Southport, and other cities in the Lyceum as well - are well supplied.
