Piracy

Well, there were a few snags in my plan. The mountains were granite, exposed bones of the earth. The sandstone was found on the ocean shelf to the south.

Which, I agree shouldn't have been a problem. I had already purchased [Titanic Swimming] at an expensive cost of 21 cultivation points. I don't know which surprised me more; the reminder of the cost, or the fact that I could just drain it from cultivation.

[Split Stone] was equally easy to acquire.

Right? Just swim out there, a few well placed splits in the rock, and I'd be swimming back to shore with one or possibly two holystones. Not a bear, because first of all that was overkill, and second because I wanted something that normal people could move around easily.

Well, the Makura didn't need to be told that coral grew well on sandstone. Or that by placing their home directly over the mining site would further cripple the Tidelands empire.
