Inside the Capital City

Tre'Volos is known far and wide as the capital city of the World — but it is also known for its resources of herbs, spices, and unusual food items.

Several companies make good livings manufacturing herbs and/or spices for retail and wholesale. Others prepare herbs and spices for magical use. Both of these types of businesses are always looking for employees.

Things that can be found here that can be found nowhere else include: ketchup, mustard, relish, mayonnaise, and many other condiments. The vast majority of these can trace their invention back to Sedmon. Dried Fish, Salt Fish, and Beef Jerky are common trail foods. It is said that there are enough food items in Tre'Volos that one could go an entire year without eating the same food twice. Poorman's Sausages (what we would call Hot Dogs) and Poorman's Patties (what we would call Hamburgers) are sold in stalls throughout the city.

Tre'Volos has a thriving alcohol trade, and brewers make many types of beer, ale, mead, wine, and distilled spirits.

Pretzels and other breads are common. Cakes and pies are made in prodigious quantities.

Believe it or not, Ice Cream is sold at stands throughout Tre'Volos, as is Amastre (what we would call pizza). Amastre is Eldish for “Round Food”.

No one will ever starve in Tre'Volos. There is a small Food Tax on all prepared food that is used to help stock food banks and granaries. The Food Tax is used to help feed the needy and destitute.
