[from my campaign notes]

Pelandan Trade



Pelandan city-states are small, extending at most sixty kilometres from their city, and the cities are also small, having a few thousand inhabitants. Carting grain, and other bulky necessities, between the city and the countryside is therefore practical.

The Dedizoraru ruthlessly enforce their monopoly of the long range, river trade on the River Oronin and its tributaries. They export the superior craft goods of Pelanda in exchange for bulk imports of foodstuffs, especially rice and wheat from Dara Happa. Without this trade the cities would starve.
