Misc. Information: As a very De-centralized civilization it's hard to do some of he usual stuff expected from established bureaucracies. Instead localized small familiar elites lease work to foreigners which provides them a representation on land. There is only a low scale trade in existance so docks and ports are small and vessels are at best medium sized.

## The Forest of Silvam Primo

## The Free Peoples of Azaed

Main Trading Hubs: Bandar Kapal is the primary trading hub of Azaed with low taxes and lax trade laws, as well as being easily accessible by road or boat. Rayak is also a profitable trading hub, particularly for the upper end goods and clients with an eye for the extravagant, though trade laws are enforced more strongly there. Also easily accessible by ocean and road. Akmolinsk is a much more remote destination, but if the trader is willing to take the arduous trek to get there, they will be rewarded with quality metals, spirits or a well trained militia.

Exports: Rayak: Horses, spices, silks, leather, extravagances etc... Akmolinsk: Whisky, highly valuable minerals and masterly crafted weapons and armour. Also an extremely well trained mercenary militia. Dataran: Bloody Starboon: Large, red, fleshy fruits with high mana content in them are occasionally brewed into elixars but otherwise highly isolationist with little trade links. Bandar Kapal: Seafood, wines, fruits, smuggled (often illegal) goods, ships.

Imports: Cotton, lumber, grains, products with high water content, slaves (in Bandar Kapal only), quarried stone...

Magical Services: A dedicated magic section of the Akmoli Mercenary Company and three major collages which accept entrants from all over Whend which focus on: Magical archaeology and preservation; Rift magic and battle magic respectively.

Preferred Currency: Mostly a barter economy, but for more expensive goods and services, gold and silver will do just fine!

Banned substances and restricted goods: In all provinces bar Bandar Kapal, slavery is strictly illegal. Narcotics are prohibited (though widely smuggled through Bandar Kapal and rarely checked by authorities). Good luck getting 'heretical' books or artifacts into Dataran, but elsewhere in Azaed is fairly liberal for trading. Magical items are regulated through Chased Shaman officials, but again this is not strictly enforced outside Dataran.

Taxes and Tariffs: Bandar Kapal has very low taxes on imports and exports, making it the ideal destination for traders. Tariffs are rarely imposed on the populous. In other Azaedi cities, trade laws are better enforced. This means high tariffs on spices, silks, seafoods... basically anything under the exports will be taxed in these cities.

Major Exports: Valuable Metals, Animal Products (pelts, leather, ivory etc.), and mercenaries, Timber

Major Imports: Fine cloths, food products (grains), jewelry, fine craftsmen, wine, spices

Magical Goods or Services: None available to outsiders (native magic is a crude sort of divination and witchcraft, and reserved to temple affairs)

Preferred Currency: Barter / Khaoran and Elhenic coins (no native currency)

Banned substances or restricted goods: none in particular, though magic worshippers and magical items are spurned, and in more conservative regions one can find themselves driven out of town for trafficking them

Taxes and Tariffs: Varies by local ruler, but both over and under the table.

Special Regulations: There is no state superstructure to impose such restrictions, and the rulers of the regional states do not care much as long as tariffs are paid. However one must follow the established trade route through the central territory of the Rals, and not take one of the smugglers routes through the hills to avoid tolls (it is often wildly dangerous to do so regardless).

Current Trade Deals: Extensive trade with both the Khaorans and the Aramic peoples.

Misc. Information: the Ghjar is a very rugged area with few navigable and safe trade routes through it. Despite this, the mineral wealth of the region ensures that caravans are constantly moving through it, as well as its strategic position dominating the interior border region and the passes between Elhas and empires to the east. Caravans should be well protected, and would do well to ensure quality guides, but can be rewarded with great wealth for their efforts.

## Ghofos

Main Ports and Trade Hubs: Multiple cities on the coast of mainland Ghofos, including Chavesh, Pravaka, and the capital Yashabed. Several colonies on the Ghofosi islands.

Major Exports:Slaves, Cotton, Lumber, Spices, Sugar, Molasses, Gold, Silver

## The Grand Radiancy of Sái Khaor

Main Ports and Trade Hubs: The ancient city Náśabeiz is the largest port in the Radiancy, where almost all formal naval trade is conducted. However the northern shore is dotted with small coastal towns that deal with more niche products. The capital city Nummora is the hub for land-based trade.

Major Exports: Food (barley, rice, tomatoes, beans, tubers, capsicum), spices (chili peppers, numbing peppers, horseradish), fish, shellfish, seaweed, sea salt, desert salt, silver, gold, clay, and stone.

Various trade deals with the Rals.

Some small and unregulated (mostly indirect) deals with the Azaedi Khanates.

Misc. Information: The above information, for the most part, only applies to the business in Nummora and Náśabeiz. Outside of these cities, prices are not regulated due to the feudal nature of Khaoran administration, and one can expect to see bartering, scamming, and smuggling in smaller business areas.

## The Korvarro Confederacy

Main Ports and Trade Hubs: The confederations largest port lies in the city of Sartal, and while naval trade is fairly light so far north, the vast majority of ships land at Sartal. The southern frontier town of Marioch acts as the main hub of inland trade.

Major Exports: Chitin, Copper, Tin, Bronze, Weaponry, Masonry, Sculptures, and Certain Dyes.

Major Imports: Textiles, Silk, Lumber, Mana, and Spices.

Magical Goods or Services: Most magical goods and services are imported into the confederation rather than exported. While there go exist natural sources of mana within the confederation, most notably a fountain of magically infused water owned by Clan Kastroti, this mana is almost entirely utilized by the Kastroti. However, the sorcerers of various clans will occasionally trade copies of their existing scrolls in exchange for mana or new magical knowledge.

Preferred Currency: The economy of the confederation is entirely barter based, as there isn't an organization capable of minting coins. Certain weights of chitin acts as an unofficial currency in a sense, and goods are frequently compared to a pound of chitin to determine their value.

Slaves of any race are universally legal and are to be immediately freed upon seizure. The punishment for anyone caught owning or dealing in slaves is death by stoning.

Current Trade Deals: None currently.

Misc. Information: N/A

## The Kurtdogru Dynasty

Main Ports and Trade Hubs: These places Note need revision and updating.

Major Exports: Metal (gold, silver, copper, zinc, bauxite, nickel, bronze, steel), lumber, fur, coal, salt and fish. Though Gold, silver, steel, coal and salt are somewhat low in supply, and are thus more expensive and not as exported. But still offered.

Major Imports: Silk, spices, exotic fruits, general finished goods, books and general knowledge (especially on ship building and exploration).

Magical Goods or Services: A scant few magical items exist within the kingdom, and there's no way in hell you're getting them. Mages can offer their services to you, how ever this is extremely unlikely as the mages rarely offer their services to the Wolfborne, let alone foreigners. If you get permission from the High King you could get something out of them, magical emergencies are a good way to get the mages attention too.

Preferred Currency: Gold, silver or bronze coins, though bartering is still a major part of trade.

Banned substances or restricted goods: Narcotics and other intoxicating substances, (alcohol is technically allowed, though not really encouraged to be brought and sold within the nation, same with applies with swine.). Magical items are certainly going to be looked at, as well as slaves and agricultural goods for their respective reasons.

Taxes and Tariffs: Somewhat inconsistent, however a Tax of Accomidation exists in at least all the major ports. Two gold coins (or any other equivalent) for unlimited stay in the city. Both alcohol and swine is taxed, among other taxed goods, and official trade deals will have set amounts of taxes and tariffs according to the amount specified in the trade treaty.

Special Regulations: Magical items, slaves and agricultural goods.

Current Trade Deals: Elhas, Seshari. Ventara, Zahn, Sirene

Their primary cause is to secure that Toméllian merchants can sell and buy goods at better prices by doing covert actions.

Magical Goods or Services: No magical goods or services are provided except by those of royal blood. Even they choose to use their powers scarcely. However, with the help of some "herbs", a few undercover magic users can provide divinations, or speak to dead relatives.

Preferred Currency: Due to the mercantile nature of Aagdrea, any currency is accepted. For the most part the coins are melted down and reforged to Aagrean currency, the Golden Derch. The golden derch is approximately 4 centimetres in diameter, and 0.4 centimetres high, in a cylindrical shape. The coin depicts a Toabeast on the 'heads' side, and a shield on the 'tails' side. Golden Derchs are commonly used in gambling and are thus always perfectly balanced and crafted. It is the desire of the Aagdreans to make the Golden Derch the accepted worldwide currency.

Banned substances or restricted goods: Trade is mostly performed by individuals, so there can be little regulation. However there is strict regulations regarding religious or political paraphernalia

Taxes and Tariffs: To fund the state, a yearly tax of 10 Golden Derchs is demanded by the state, which is collected in the mandatory pilgrimage to Phalanfortus. This is also when the census is performed. To govern this, the king or queen uses their magic to divinate if people within the kingdom have not travelled to the island.

Special Regulations: No harm is to come to the local ecosystem without permission, and outsiders are not allowed access to the seeds of the plants being sold, nor access to the farms on which the goods are grown.

Current Trade Deals: Trading a variety of metals with the Zyndal Empire for whatever the individual buyers offer. Trading food to Bagria once again for metals and tools, and military protection and alliance

Misc. Information: Virtually all trade is done individually, but trade is so well known regarding the Aagdreans that many travel in large groups to Aagdrean ports to conduct business. Individual Aagdreans sometimes travel outside Aadrea to sell their goods, usually making a large profit. Despite many places banning drug trade, it is not common for buyers to have underworld contacts in Aagdrea to supply them with 'the goods'

Misc. Information: The Five Cities welcome foreign traders and have a wealthy merchant class, many of whom hold positions of political power reflecting their prosperity. They are less likely to strike out for new markets themselves, although it does happen.

## The Vazhaltsy

Main Ports and Trade Hubs: The two largest towns/ports are the towns of Hallgarad and Zhalvord on the mouths of the Ilzhalt and Yalzhalt respectively. Hallgarad is the bigger of the two with a population of around 20,000 and hosts a large foreign quarter for non-Vazhaltsy residents and visitors. Zhalvord is somewhat smaller with around 17,000 people and allows only a thousand foreign residents to assist with communication and trade.

Major Exports: Timber (particularly hardwoods), various crafts, wool, various qualities of leather, and amber

Major Imports: Iron, spices, dyes, and foreign luxury goods

Magical Goods or Services: Runic engravings and, if you are devoted to Tsveral or one of his followers, contact with the Ilyunski and certain miracles.

Banned substances or restricted goods: Many instances that vary from town to town to protect local artisans and the economy.

Taxes and Tariffs: Depends upon the town or settlement, but places outside of Hallgarad and Zhalvord have complicated sets of trade tariffs and monopolies/special trading privileges.

Special Regulations: Complicated trade laws and permissions plague the towns of Hallgarad and Zhalvord, and the rest of the towns in the region for that matter. For example: all dyes or pigment brought into Zhalvord must be offered to each member of the locals clothiers guild before the trader may sell to anyone else within the town. If the trader sells their goods to non-guild members before this clause is completed, or completes the clause but offers the goods to a non-guild member at a lower price than was offered to the guild members, will be fined the value of the goods plus 50%.

Current Trade Deals: Probably a lot, but there are too many tribes within the Vazhaltsy that make deals to keep track of them all.

Misc. Information: Map of trade routes through Grav Krya

## Voh-Kohda

Main Ports and Trade Hubs: The nation is an extended city-state, so there is only one major city within it, which shares the name of the rest of the territory: Voh-Kohda. However, the Kohdohv have several trade posts throughout the steppelands to the north, one in the mountains, one along the southern sea, and two to the east, bordering the Yeringot Empire.

Major Exports: If it can be found in the ground they export it. Chief amongst their exports are tons of crystalline mana (and other refined forms of it) produced by the rift, Kohda, that their territory is centered around. Besides that they export Limestone, Granite, Iron, Copper, and smaller quantities of precious metals. They are adept at stone working but sell mostly raw stone, not finished products. They also sell exquisite manure... of their own making.

Major Imports: Non-edible organic products (leathers, soaps, twine etc.). They have little use for precious stones or jewels, seeing as their eyes mostly see black and white, and they have no need for spices or exotic foods because their diet consists of soil and more soil.

Magical Goods or Services: They don't perform magic, but they have crystalline mana by the ton. They also refine this crystal into various other forms that a magic user may need.

Preferred Currency: None amongst themselves. They largely work and live as a collective, so as long as a member does work, they get goods from the state.

Banned substances or restricted goods: None.

Taxes and Tariffs: None. However, they dislike people who live above ground, so there is a chronic tension between them and their trade partners.

Special Regulations: Surface-dwellers are generally not allowed within their tunnels. All trade happens above-ground.

Current Trade Deals: N/A (I haven't specifically set any up yet, but am willing to RP with anyone who wants to and just say it's been happening for awhile)

Misc. Information: While there are some Kohdohv who can speak surface-languages poorly in order to get through trade negotiations and whatever diplomacy they may encounter, largely the languages of the Sundwellers are not widely known or cared about by the Underkind. This often puts up obstacles as far as understanding and communication in deals go.

## The Wali Republics

Main Ports: Faho City: On the island of Faho-Huia, Faho City is the Wali's westernmost port and is vital to trade with the "Second Continent(western Whend).

Special Regulations Magic users must register with the local Pakehi Cult before entering the city, giving a description of abilities, to receive a Mages' Proof. all those caught using magic without a Proof will be jailed.

Current Trade Deals (If anyone involved in these trades disagrees or wants to add an addendum, just say. This is just what I imagine makes sense) -Pearl and Ink for Seshari slaves(need to write those books on something), -Slaves for lumber and stonework from Ghofos, -Boats for Ya'akana linens and copper.
