Commerce and Trade in the Overrealm

Due to its aggressive nature, Ilmanor enjoys very little trade with the surrounding lands. Being effectively at war with Malidor, Tauron and Ardadain, most of the borders are guarded, and very traders allowed in. The Orcs of Ilmanor are almost entirely self-sufficient; any weapons which may be needed are made in their own smithies, and food is generally grown in the underground forts. Most trade is internal, with weapons being shifted from the capital to the lesser towns, and food being sent where it is most needed. The main external trade is from Daenor, to the south. As travellers are few and far between in Ilmanor, the Orcs rely on slaves and sacrifices from the lands to the south. Every few months, slave ships are sent north from Daenor, hundreds of elves and men captured in the surrounding area. Most of these eventually arrive at the Warlords' forts, or the capital, where they are put to work building siege engines and towers, or pleasuring their masters. Occasionally, food is also sent north, usually by wagon, or along the river Fornarda. This is common when a campaign is imminent, and food is required to support the swelling armies.
