Ramanian Harvest Feast

"Now now, you can give the wondertful merchants that bestowed us this food much more than a mere payment. Give them thanks! Tell them of our joy with such food!" 
 

- Prince Ellis, showing a rare sight from within the kingdom of Raman, kindness. 

Raman, as a solitary city, holds little farm land. This would, in most cases, cause destruction and ruin for any powerful city. However, what makes Raman a powerful city-state is not the farmlands, or the armies, or the defensive measures that the city has. it is, rather, the bastion of gold that is buried under the city. Reserved only for the Royal Line of Raman, these reserves of gold are taken annually, and most of the money is spent on keeping the city afloat. The infrastructure is maintained, the soldiers are paid for, and the King is kept fed. The lack of agriculture in the kingdom means that most of this money is spent on importing food into the city, through merchants and tradesmen from other regions. The most common place to find a merchant for the Kingdom of Raman, outside of the city-state, is the coastal village in the east of Halland Island called Cliffside. Since the region is abundant in fisheries and harbours, it means that even in the barren Ramanian waters, the diet of a common Ramanian is mostly made up of saltwater fish. In other regions, especially Terio and Azeroth, the Ramanians have had access to tropical fruit and other materials that originate on plantations, such as peppers, Aetherfruit, and olive oil. The food of Raman, all year around, is known for being fancy and high in quality.
