Spices from the Pelrian basin (any aromatics), perhaps there is incense or similar aromatics, gems (freshwater pearls or Brollian fire-amber). Exotic slaves (I need a red haired woman with green eyes!), goods from the elder races (particularly mostali metalwork - there seem to be no mostali east of the Wastes), Things
>From The West - exotic stautary of saints. Iron? Pelorian brasswork?

And of course there are always Pendalan dried frogs - you know, the humourously posed ones with the hats and musical instruments.

OH! Rathori bear gall and ground Moon Antelope horn and similar medicinals (no aging mandrin likes being droopy!).

Moon rocks - they glow and look cool. Wine... Wine was one of the largest trade goods through out the ancient world.

You're going to have to look at luxury goods - portable. And for the vanity market.

But you are correct, Kralorela is rather insular (but its not as bad as Vormain) so its hard to pique their interest.

Ancient trade to China - recent archeology shows it more extensive than previously thought with Roman and Greek bronzework (apparently it was highly prized) being found as far east as Indochina. It seems much of the silk traded as far as Rome was given to the barbarians surrounding the Chin to keep them happy. This made its way west.

Why is the island of Telos starting to seem more like Celyon was during the early part of the Current Era? Trade wind were called that for a reason. =) Sorry, YGMV.

Hope this helps,

Jeff
