(you can get a new city)

Issue 32: Economists have suggested putting up checkpoints all along the roads of Kaldonis, so as to gain revenue off of travelers and others using your roads.

-An Altmer whose gained the repute of being very tight-fisted is the one who brought up the suggestion, "It's a simple concept, really. The people are using our roads that we built with our money, so it's only natural that they should have to pay something. The only issue I can see is that you won't be getting every Septim from the checkpoints, seeing as how a lot will go into expanded guards to watch over them. There's still to be some profit to be made though."

-"Paying guards won't be a problem, I've got a cheaper solution," Says a scraggly old adventurer, "What if I told you there were, uhh, 'people' who would be willing to work for much less than you'd pay a guard. It'll certainly lead to more profits, though some people might complain of, uhh, 'hostility'. That's the price of cheap labor, though."

-"This is ridiculous!" Says a renown traveler and merchant, "Why is it that at every turn, someone seems to be trying to restrict our freedom of movement? These checkpoints will put a strain on the economy too, because where do you think us merchants will go if you start using these checkpoints? Somewhere the we can use roads as they were intended, that's where."
