>Which part of Dragon Pass are you talking about?
Doesn't much matter from the Pelorian point of view. It's all the EWF heartland...

Talastar is probably a big source of wool; I don't know that the empire would have to export cloth.

Kind of vague, though I realize my question was mighty broad.

IMG Anadikki pays tribute mostly in furs, Talastar mostly in wool. I haven't worked out Aggar. (These folk are all Pelorian, but subject to the EWF in 900 S.T.)
Dara Happa probably pays in gold.
But I'm more interested in knowing what comes north.

This is pretty well documented in Glorantha: The Second Age (and King of Sartar). Orin Jistrel, Banjarn, Nevelmarkan, Salor, Olorost, etc.

I think they're mostly ruins in the Third Age, probably shunned because the dragons destroyed them once...
