The trade of knobweed sap is a ludicrouslucrative business among the apothecaries supplying the warcamps.{{ref|b|twok|c|27}} The highprinces are unaware that the reeds they see growing are knobweed, so the apothecaries charge a high rate, two [[spheres|skymarks]]. When Kaladin discovered this, he began selling some of the sap he collected for his [[bridgemen]] to one of the apothecaries for money to feed the wounded and to pay for the nightly stew's ingredients. The apothecary agreed, even though he received less profit, because he could claim ignorance as to where the reeds were coming from if the Alethi found out what he and the other apothecaries had been doing.
