The Goblin Emperor headcanon no one asked for or needed: the Ethuveraz having a thriving salt mining industry but importing fine Barezheise sea salt for use as table salt for the wealthy
I’ve followed you long enough to doubt that it’s as high as 70%

Ambassador and Osmerrem Gormened, all dressed up and being good hosts.
The attempted assassination (or the Ethuverazhid Pietà). I spent nearly 18 hours on this, and it’s not as done as I’d like but it’s as done as it is ever going to be.
the things fantasy writers REALLY need to consider when worldbuilding are fisheries and salt production.
what is the fishing industry like? who is fishing where, what are they catching, what currents and climate conditions enable this catch, and how is the fish preserved for trade inland? which areas rely economically on their fisheries? how have the fisheries changed over their history?
how does your fictional society handle salt production and trade? where are the salt mines and who owns them? who is producing sea salt and how advanced is their system of evaporation ponds? who is controlling the salt trade and what goods are they creating with salt to add value to the trade (salted fish, meat, aged cheese, pickles, etc)?
me, reading a fantasy novel:do they have whaling though???
