Merchant of Mogadishu
From Pella to Pattala, then back to Babylon
I just docked my ship, at the Porto di Venezia. The Venetians are very hospitable people, (compared to their hated rivals, the Milanese). There is a high tower besides a large open square, the Venetians call the Piazza San Marco, it looks immense. I shall be meeting Leonardo Loredan, Doge of Venice and chairman of the Venetian Guild of Merchants in the morning. We will be talking about how we can amend the trade routes between Venice, the Ottomans and the Ajuraan Sultanate, due to latest Ottoman-Venetian War, which has recently been concluded. The Ottoman diplomat, Hasan Özdemir, will be present too.
I hope this meeting will be fruitful for all parties involved.
