Nomoa
In the nation of Hara, Nomoa is a settlement known for the Nomoa Wool they produce, more commonly known as merely Nomoa like the settlement. Sometimes known as Harana-Nomoa for some reason, it has a population of a few thousand, although a proper count has not been done in decades.
Located on the Harayan coast, Nomoa has grown massively in its 1000 or so years of history from a small hamlet with nothing of note to its name nor location to what it has become, known for its silks and dyes. Within the walls of the settlement, although most of the town is outside of it thanks to growth, lies something called the 'old town', where many of the town's most notable locations lie.
Silk production is one of its most known industries, considering the form of highly treasured and sought after silk (with an illustrious odour) is named for this place. Dyes also seem to be a common thing sold here considering that the silk comes originally only in white. From what we can deduce, all of these dyes are naturally based, as to be expected. We cannot exactly make 'artificial' dyes as that is not the intention of alchemical research, at least from my understanding.
As of recent, some wealthy folk and the occasional scholar with good patrons, can make what could be considered a tourism industry for this rather plain location. While visitors might seem few, due to high cost (most of these so-called tourists are from the mid continent or the east of Chasuria), it is rather profitable for those who can provide services for them, due to the gratitude that is expended on their behalf.
