Rharne’s economy, like the city itself, is thriving and full of life. As a centrally located port city, Rharne has access to a wide variety of goods not only to sell within the city itself, but to buy and trade with the rest of Idalos. The Docks are always busy with ship traffic entering and exiting Lake Lovalus, and the constant trade and tourism is generally looked upon with positivity by all but the grouchiest of Rharnians.

Rharne’s imports include common commodities like metals, wood, and livestock, as well as luxuries like gems, fruits, sugar, cocoa, spices, and high-end fabrics. Alcohol is Rharne’s main export: beer, wine, and hard liquor are all popular goods from a city that prides itself on brewing nothing but the very best. Rharne also has a strong wheat, barley, and oats trade, thanks to the abundance of these farms in the Stormlands. Grapes from the vineyards and fine cheese from local farms are other less common exports. Above all else, however, Rharne is able to export goods from any easily accessible city in Idalos. Visiting merchants will often sell their goods in Rharne, and then Rharnian merchants will export these goods to other cities.

The Merchants Guild has a good level of control over both the trade and tourism industry, and regularly petitions the Council to improve relations with different Idalosian cities in order to expand their ability to trade. The guild has their fingers on the pulse of popular goods both within and outside of Rharne and makes every effort to help their members broker trader deals to either supply or acquire said goods.
