Gerald Bosh's "Trade in Genertela" article is great, but Loren's website is long gone -- does anyone know if it's hosted somewhere else now?
I've got a small list of uz products at
http://www.wam.umd.edu/~gerakkag/goods.html, and there's some additional
uz possibilities in
http://www.wam.umd.edu/~gerakkag/fifty.html. Plus you can add freakish
voralan stuff. Plus there's all the weird non-human stuff from mostali
(Greatway), Aldryami (Redwood Forest) and Dragonewts.
Just about anything mundane can be useful in mythic terms, though, as long as you make the right myth IYG. For example, say, some kinds of (non-magical) wool might still have great ritual significance, and be better for certain rituals than wool from another area, another sheep breed, harvested a different way, etc.
