The Sloads are money grubing slug people, and they constently attack Summerset Isle just for the fun of it through the use of conjuring up title waves and monsters. I'm sure they would be happy to lend a hand, for the right price that is. I don't know, putting faith in Jubba The Hutt people? what if they want half of West Tamriel to expand their "little empire"?
