Trade within the kingdom is challenging. The roads between the major cities are in fairly good repair, but they are not well guarded. Ishyr's only external land-based trade is with Nythoria, and that is hampered by both poor roads and robber barons. This leaves much of the external trade dependent upon shipping in the unpredictable weather and waves of the Inworld Sea. Ishyr has local boats that move cargo along its coast, but larger ships belong to either Laladen or the pirates of Sherna. Being off the beaten track, Laladen ships moving Ishyr cargo charge exorbitant fees; and, Shernan pirates may choose to take your cargo instead of deliver it. </div> <div> Most of the kingdom's trade occurs by sea. Its major trading partners are: Nythoria, Laladen and Sherna. </div> <bR> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 57 ><NOBR><div> <B> <A NAME="population"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B><B>Population</B></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="534"><div> 2,960,000-human 52% (Valin 32%, Eslan 20%), Dwarves 23%, Half-Elves 12%, Elves 8%, Gnomes 5%.</div> <bR> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 57 WIDTH="108"><div> <B> <A NAME="class_structure"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B><B>Class Structure</B></div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="534"><div> Nobles 5%, military (non-Noble) 25%, clergy (non-Noble) 21%, merchants 3%, peasants 41%, slaves 5%.</div> <bR> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 40 ><NOBR><div> <B> <A NAME="languages"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B><B>Languages</B></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="534"><div> Common, Dwarven, Elven, Gnomish.</div> <bR> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 40 ><NOBR><div> <B> <A NAME="alignments"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B><B>Alignments</B></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="534"><div> LN, N, CN, NG, NE, LE, CG</div> <bR> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 40 WIDTH="108"><div> <B> <A NAME="religions"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B><B>Religions</B></div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="534"><div> The Old Church (55%), the Right Path (45%).</div> <bR> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 40 WIDTH="108"><div> <B> <A NAME="allies"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B><B>Allies</B></div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="534"><div> Nythoria</div> <bR> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 40 WIDTH="108"><div> <B> <A NAME="enemies"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B><B>Enemies</B></div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="534"><div> Valithra, Eslebi.</div> <bR> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 57 WIDTH="108"><div> <B> <A NAME="weather"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B><B>Weather</B></div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="534"><div> Long, cold and wet spring.

Their descendants live there now, long untouched by the king and his forces. To the south, the Dunihki have intermarried with the native Ishyrans, but in this far northern reaches, the Ishyran blood remains pure. Many of them believe that, as is foretold in the legend of <I>Galthor the Bloody</I>, they will be restored to their rightful place when the Fourth Cycle comes to an end. </div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <div> Copyright 2000 by Breminor.com.<FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" ><B> <A NAME="copyright"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B></FONT>     All rights reserved.</div> <div> <I>Version Date: 06 December 2001   Primary Author:  Stephen Castillet</I></div> </td> </tr></table></body>
