After the vestige-smiths' queries were met with apt responses from Lucas, they had gone on to discuss the financial aspects of the deal and set out the terms. The deal was that the Novanio Tech company would form a dealership business to handle their weapons vestige business. The dealership would buy a fixed number of vestiges from Lucas every month for the next year, which couldn't be increased nor decreased, unless both sides came to an agreement. Also, the dealership would be made the sole distributor of Lucas, or rather his master's vestiges in the surroindg regions of Baylands city-state. As for the city itself, Lucas would naturally be the sole distributor.
There was no reason for Novanio Tech's dealership to compete with Lucas as not only was it pointless, but their vestiges would be higher priced compared to the source. But in other regions, Lucas' influence and reach was limited, so they could truly embody the title of sole distributor.
