Dublin's Reach was a virtual representation of one of Eivor Varinsdottir's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
Eivor met with Azar to conduct trading.
As Eivor traveled the kingdoms of Ireland, she would clear out ringforts seized by bandits, natural predators, and other hostile forces to develop into trading posts. In order to provide a steady supply of clothing, texts, delicacies, and luxuries, she established these posts at Rathdown, Lisdurrow, Athlone, Port Auley, Drumlish, Dysert, and Ardmel, claiming all necessary title deeds to these lands ahead of using raided trade supplies to build up the posts themselves.
With these supplies in hand, Eivor spoke with Azar in Dublin. Her comments varied each time Eivor spoke with her.
Azar showed Eivor the available trade contracts. After deciding on which ones to fulfill, Eivor stopped.
They worked together to fulfill trade contracts all over the world, starting with the relatively nearby Iberia and increasing Dublin's renown, opening up new trade opportunities with Egypt. Eivor eventually asked Azar about her origins.
After raising Dublin's renown to the point where contracts opened up with the Rus, Eivor inquired about Azar's injury.
Eivor continued to trade through Azar's network, raising Dublin's renown to open up contracts with Constantinople, and afterwards, eventually raising Dublin's renown to its maximum potential. In time, Dublin's fame and Azar's role in it would draw the ire of Konstantinos once more.
Eivor traded resources, which she gained from re-building Ireland's ringforts as trade posts, in tandem with Azar, greatly expanding Dublin's influence in the world.
Beyond the required objective to raise Dublin's Renown to Level 2 stated in Flann over Ireland, before Eivor can speak with Bárid to advance that memory further, the Irish trade mechanic has no further effect on the main story. Despite this, it behooves players to make regular fast travel trips back to Dublin to clear out the collection box before it reaches max capacity in a given resource, in order to maintain a steady flow of goods to complete contracts over the course of the Ireland campaign, without losing any to waste. The box can hold a finite amount whereas the player can hold far beyond the DLC's mathematical requirements for every contract.
Prioritizing the storage capacity increases over the production rates at the trading posts will allow more time in the field to complete memories and optional markers without players having to abruptly suspend what they're doing, travel to Dublin to clear the box, and then return to their adventure. Across all seven trading posts, production rates and storage capacity for most goods can be upgraded to four per minute, with maximums of 480 for Clothing and 400 for Text and Delicacies, thus maintaining a rate of fill to maximum at roughly 100 minutes across the board. Adding the Luxuries reduces this considerably, as they start at 1 per minute to a max of 50 and can only upgrade their production rate and storage once each at Port Auley. Once added, they will effectively lock the "waste-free" time to return to Dublin at every 50 minutes, halving it to 25 minutes when just upgrading the production rate, raising it to 100 minutes—and achieving parity with the other three types of goods—when just upgrading the storage, and the two upgrades together effectively canceling out and returning the time to 50.
