Though Fort Bridge was founded nearly a dozen years, it has been lacking in industry and has only been making enough money to get by. I however noticed an interesting crop growing nearby and realised its potential. The crop, beetroot, can be turned into a very fine red dye when processed, and can easily be applied to wool to create a very rich red texture without damaging the quality of the wool. I decided to pass local ordinances ordering the construction of three new facilities; a sheep pen, a beetroot plantation, and a dye works.

Image
The beetroot farm was the first thing constructed. Though modest in size, its yield is plenty and I deemed it enough to start off the industry. In one harvest it can produce over 120 individual beets, which in turn produces much dye. The farm is cheap to run as well, and is self-sufficient as it produces more seeds than it will ever need in one harvest.

Image
The second facility created was the sheep pen. In a few short months the number of sheep increased ten-fold from the original few. The wool output is over a stack per harvest, which is unfortunately the bottleneck of the whole process. I however deemed it inhumane to put more than 6 more sheep into that pen, due to cramped conditions. It is therefore on the agenda to build yet another pen for more sheep to occupy.

Image
The third and final building created was the dye works, where the wool is processed. It is first unravelled and dyed, then ravelled back up into the fine red wool. The plant too is modest in size but still has a large capacity and output. It is expected that shops and market stalls will be propped up to accommodate the influx of industry. Furthermore, should the industry prove successful – which I have very high hopes that it will – Fort Bridge will have to prepare for an influx of population. It is my full belief that this will tip Fort Bridge over from a town into a large town, if not city, should it be successful.

This is excellent news Count Raymond. It brings me great joy to hear how Fort Bridge is thriving.
