Economy of the League of Mar Miskun

The economy of the League of Mar Miskun is characterized by robust maritime trade and resource-rich inland industries. Comprising a coalition of semi-autonomous towns and cities, the League thrives on its independence from larger powers like Forbin and Teros while fostering cooperation among its members.

Key Industries

The League's economy is diverse, with several key industries contributing significantly to its wealth. Notable products include:

• Maritime Trade: Coastal towns like Ashanok and Penstrarn are central to the League's economy, leveraging their strategic locations for trade. Ashanok, situated on the western coast, serves as a vital trading hub for the Seynan Islands and southern and eastern Forbin. Its well-protected harbour supports extensive maritime activities, facilitating the export of goods to these regions. In contrast, Penstrarn, positioned on the northeastern coast facing the Sea of Fair Winds, engages in trade with eastern Forbin, including cities like Mintrass and Holdras, as well as southern Teros and the Mar Mabon Townships.
• Mining and metalwork: The town of Kunkana, situated on a high plateau, is a hub for mining and metalworking. Local artisans produce high-quality brass, bronze, and iron goods, contributing significantly to the island's economic strength. Additionally, Barvon Bir, known for its geothermal springs, also supports mining activities, further enhancing the League’s metal industries.
• Agriculture: The fertile Riverlands, nourished by rivers such as the Ashan, Barvon, and Thalmir, support essential agricultural activities. Towns like Ashanok benefit from these fertile valleys, producing crops that sustain the local population and supply trade.
• Craftsmanship: The League is known for its skilled artisans who produce textiles, intricate carvings, and statuary. The craftsmanship in towns like Ashanok and Penstrarn showcases the cultural heritage of Mar Miskun and serves as an important aspect of the local economy.
