A week had passed since the end of the war. It was only a week, but a lot had changed in that time. First of all, civilian exchange had begun between Rosenheim and Basel, whose relations had been frozen until now. To put it simply, trade caravans were now traveling between them.
The regional lords, who had been economically exploited by the Swiss Confederation, drove out the Swiss merchants en masse and brought in Rosenheim merchants instead. Wenzenberg's business in particular took off, centered on Hissen.
It was a good thing, since there were now more places besides Breisburg buying Rosenheim goods, but at the same time, it sparked an odd tension between Rosenheim and the Swiss Confederation.
Rosenheim and Zurich were now competing over Basel. In sheer size, Rosenheim was no match for Zurich, but the anti-Zurich faction was keeping Zurich in check.
