Thrid Person POV
Dorne, 295 AC.
---------------------------------------
The ships began to anchor in the harbor while Doran's guards were already trying to maintain
order in the city, announcing that there was no attack, just commercial boats setting up stalls in
the harbor, as the giants lowered the sails and undertook the heavy tasks required to dock the
ship and begin unloading their goods.
At that moment, Jon approached the ships with his guards mounted on Ghost, as people
moved away with a mix of fear and respect after what they had heard about the "wizard of the
north."
"My king!" The men already on the ships that had come with Jon many days ago approached
while displaying their Eldenmetal armors.
"How are things going?" Jon asked.
"The ships are docking and getting ready to start removing the goods," the man informed Jon.
Jon nodded, and they began to move towards the ships filling the entire harbor. "Prepare to
unload and keep the products safe before the Dornish inspect the cargo for the merchants, do
not let anyone else through," Jon said, and the men nodded as more soldiers came off the
boat, since a crowd was forming at the harbor, this would prevent problems.
The ships that had just anchored began to come out and greet Jon. "Bring the goods to the
front of the ship," he said, and the men began to do so, while the giants started to bring the
heavier loads and all the ships began to do the same throughout the harbor.
Jon waited for the goods to accumulate while only merchants began to arrive after getting past
the guards who kept the crowd from approaching.
Jon continued talking to them and instructing the men as they began to move the goods into
the city, his ministers also soon appeared as they assisted him after the Dornish confirmed the
negotiated goods.
The giants present were much larger now, and the curious people just stayed there to watch
them with curiosity and admiration, seeing men of 4 meters in their armors for the whole city.
"What can we do with the ice?" asked a man from House Martell responsible for the ice in
Doran.

"You can place them in Sunspear, at least until we build the storage, but I would recommend
using it and distributing it throughout Dorne for everyone to know, after all, they may not last
long," Jon said, implying that his storage would be made with a special material to hold the
energized boxes by the grand weirwood even more.
"Yes, my lord," he said and began to leave and start asking for Martell men to pick up the boxes
and leave for the castle.
Jon spent some time in the harbor finishing organizing his goods while staying until late
afternoon as he emptied all the commercial ships, and asked everyone to rest when everything
was finished, after all, they needed the ships still in the harbors to start picking up the goods
they bought.
"Let's return, we have more work tomorrow," Jon said as they returned to his wolf with his
guards before going back to the Dornish castle.
"You finally returned," said Ygritte waiting for him at the entrance with Seryna.
"Let's dine... I have a few more engagements," he said and accompanied his wife inside.
They dined with the Martell family, and Jon returned to his room with nothing much different
than usual. The next day, he met with Doran and began to organize the final points, he ended
up closing the harbor while the ships were there, picking up the goods and relocated any
arriving commercial ship at sea to another area.
"About literate people, can you help me with some of your men to speak to your population?"
Jon asked.
"Yes, I've already been speaking with some contacts in the city, we are organizing this," he said.
"Alright, but I need to filter these people, so we will be interviewing the candidates," Jon said,
in short, he could not place just anyone in his kingdom, even if it was to be isolated.
Doran nodded a bit hesitantly, after all, he wanted to place many spies, but nodded, seeing
that he could not go against Jon's logic. "Alright. My men will be in touch soon to talk about
this," he concluded, and Jon nodded, before returning to the city, as today would start the first
shipment of items bought for the ships.
And as expected, the first wagons began to enter the city, filling its streets with various animals
inside them, after all, Jon had purchased thousands of animals not just from one trader, but
from all who were able to negotiate.
Throughout the rest of the day, Jon and his men began to organize the ships. He might not have
been dealing with this, but he wanted to participate in the logistics process. In the end, they
only managed to load 2,000 animals and arranged their transport on a few ships, after all,
there were a total of 8,000 animals and it was a lengthy process to get them out of the desert
and onto the wagons.
In the end, it took 4 days to fill a dozen ships with this part. On the fifth day, they began to
bring in steel and iron ingots, tons and tons of them filling the ships over the next 2 days.
"Jon, can this iron be used for building the army?" Arya asked excitedly.
"Yes, but it's still not enough. We've only purchased 10 tons. We need to buy more on this
trip," Jon said when Arya decided to join him one day to see the process as well.
