Kymenic are not fond of strangers wandering deep in their borders. Most of their trade with outsiders is done in the city of Katai.   Their most valuable trades are oceanic items from Katai's shores and plants located in the forests and mountains near [insert city].   The ocean near Katai is rich in pearls, vibrant sea weed and exotic fish.   The Kymenos mountain contains Northern Rock Cane, a rare plant sought after by southern nobles, including the King himself after the Royal Fever outbreak.   The forests contain unique flowers that are popular in Derresi .
