The natives show the Muscovite miners of the massive gold mines. They are treated extremely well and trade begins with the natives. Any man found attacking or harassing a native is pit to death. The secret of the gold mines is close guarded secret.
You sent assassins to kill rural blacksmiths because you wanted a new metal... Blacksmiths from a land you just fought for in war. I don't trust your backstabbing ways
We didn't send them to kill the blacksmiths, you fool, I sent them seize some. AKA, steal. Bloodsworn Blood-Seekers are deployed to seize steel in the stealthiest way possible. And yes, I am aware that they are masters of stealth and assassination. And to be frank, I don't trust you either. You were an ally of Shigori, and therefore are subject to distrust.
