So say the ports are under your control and the woods are still mine. But what will you do for food? We can't allow you to farm in vallenwood bit I could offer that my people give you a supply of meat but your produce had to come from elsewhere

Rome survived for years off of food shipped over seas, and these settlements will be much, much smaller, but local trade for meats would also be beneficial as it will be supplemented by fishing. Woodhearth survives mostly by fishing already anyway.
