Vera joined her hands together and pressed the middle of her lips. "That will be risky, without a doubt. Having three armies together in one underground cavern with two not meant to know about one other...And then just expecting they'll unite against the daedra on the spot when they're on the other side. I don't know." She let out an exasperated breath. "Starting off, how would we gather them both here in secret? Last I checked, we couldn't move entire armies across Tamriel at once, let alone with their supply lines. The Dominion would have to go through Imperial territory to reach Blackreach."

Sabine pinched her brow to recall. "Moon sugar...is rationed. You can find it but not much. It is hard to obtain this far from Elsweyr." She gave Do'rhajul a glance. "Ahnasha saves it for special occasions."

The sizzling faded behind them as they continued.

"It used to be we could hardly find any," Sabine elaborated. "Our best sellers were in the black market. Only in the last four years have the clans traded using caravans overland. They may look and operate like regular caravans but they are manned by lycans. They trade in the cities, both as regular caravans would as well as with clan representatives, that haul goods back to the clanhome in secret." Sabine went slightly apprehensive. "Caravans are common targets for feral lycans so we had no lack of experienced drivers."

They neared the sounds of hammering on wood. A smaller square up ahead -- barely twenty metres across, was covered in trestles, benches, vices, tools, lengths of wood, and carpenters handling them all. A longer building on one side appeared to take storage but without inclement weather, most work was done in the open air of the cavern.

Unless Do'rhajul or Yerig expressed interest in seeing more, this would be the end of their tour for now.
