	Some Navarr are bitter about the fact that their lands contain not one but ''three'' large weirwood forests - but only a third of that bounty is actually in Navarr hands. The Golden Trees in [[Miaren]] and the [[Heartwood of the Great Vale]] in [[Hercynia]] are both Imperial resources. The Navarr territories produce nearly a third of the weirwood used by the Empire - yet they control less than a fifth of that production. More than a few [[Navarr_economic_interests#Brokers\|brokers]] grumble that this situation is unfair; but there is little the Navarr [[senator\|senators]] can do about it. At various points in Imperial history, loose conglomerates of Navarr brokers have "bought back" what many see as their legacy - using unexpected monetary reserves to size the "missing" Navarr weirwood and using it to improve the herb gardens and [[forest\|forest preserves]] of the Navarr.

	In Autumn 381YE, in response to an [[The_place_you_called_home#The_Song_of_the_Great_Forest\|offer]] by the [[orc\|orcs]] of the Great Forest living in [[Therunin]], the Senate voted to [[permit Great Forest Orcs to work the Thimble]]. The Great Forest Orcs are expert tenders of weirwood trees - when they dwelt in [[the Barrens]] they worked the weirwood groves in the [[The_Barrens#Eaves_of_Peytaht\|Eaves of Peytaht]] producing a steady stream of valuable timber. The Orcs speak fondly of these groves; they clearly place some value to them beyond the wealth of the trees themselves, and they long to take them back. For now though, that resource languishes in the hands of the [[Druj]] - leaving these skilled ~~craftsmen~~ with no wood to work or work to perform.

	Their shaman and totem-speakers approached the Empire shortly before the Autumn Equinox, proposing that their woodcutters would work the trees in the Thimble in return for a bounty of four wains of weirwood each season. Doing so would mean that the entire cost of running the Thimble would be negated while the agreement was in place. The Orcs could then use the weirwood they gained to create herb gardens and similar of their own in Therunin. After some deliberation, the Senate agreed. The production of the Thimble was reduced, but the need to provide upkeep was removed. The pragmatic Navarr woodcutters and tree-tenders previously employed to maintain the groves quickly found employment at one of the other weirwood groves, or simply joined a [[striding]] and set off to see the Empire.
