Stephanivien would be marketing such pistols/handguns as novelty items, and not making them en-mass, and certainly not before the entirety of the siege is over, as he fully expects the likelihood of a gun or several getting resold to Rathakku, even. That's why they're a limited commodity.
He's also thinking for the longer road. It was my understanding that Eles sells not only for this conflict but also in broader aspects in the world at large, and—theoretically—would be interested in a partnership that continues on even after Alem is resolved in whichever way that happens.
a) Stephanivien already has some inroads for this, at least for the larger material problems & general iron, but the saltpetre is something that will be investigated further b) The larger armaments aren't for sale outside the keep, and more specifically, to anyone who isn't Deimar. They're off the table altogether. Deimar spoke for half, and Stephanivien's technically reserving an additional quarter as a thank-you bonus. The rest will be personal armaments for other PCs or individual, unassembled pieces meant on retainer for the purpose of repair/replacement of what he's already selling/giving Deimar.
