Now, about five-sevenths of all ebony stocks are to be used in the production of arms and armor for the army. The recently increased production of iron is also being used by the People's Empire, with the use of reinforced steel (steel reinforced with corundum, iron, quicksilver, and small amounts of ebony) becoming popular in the production of arms and armor.

The mining colony based on the coast of Vvardenfell has been growing quickly. A good number of builders from Blacklight, sent to the colony under orders from Empress Sysene, have been put to work in the colony's construction.

Meanwhile, the People's Empire has been showing interest in expanding farther south, following the Velothi Mountains downwards towards Cyrodiil and the Valus Mountains. The beginnings of more towns and mining settlements have shown up around this area, with large numbers of workers moving south under the Empress' orders to aid in the swift construction of these settlements. (If you look for the Arena map of Morrowind you can see that there are actual locations to take south of Blacklight. Using vague statements about expanding south isn't going to actually give you more soldiers and income.)
