| The tin and iron ore brought by barge from the Break Ridge is smelted into ingots for export and local manufacture. Hides from all across the region are tanned into leather and parchment in an extensive series of tanneries. There are multitudes of small cloth-making operations, and a gigantic mill called the Great Loomatorion which produces huge amounts of middle-grade wool cloth, but seemingly has no work force. Grain that is not consumed locally is made into Polychron Biscuit, a form of hard-tack, that has a very long shelf-life and low-moisture content like all hard-tack, which makes it ideal for transport, but also is much more palatable than other hard-tacks. Polychronopolis has also become a world-hub of book manufacture. The city is also famous for its highly-skilled jewelers (both Gnomes and humans) who fuel a brisk export trade. | The tin and iron ore brought by barge from the Break Ridge is smelted into ingots for export and local manufacture.

| While most of the region’s gold mines are played out, so much of it was mined, coined and made into jewelry over the last millennia, that ruins can be crammed with it and jealous monsters collect it for its mysterious power to sustain their magic. The Jewelers of the city, especially are keen to have treasure hunters dig the stuff up, since more of it in circulation lowers their raw material costs. | While most of the region’s gold mines are played out, so much of it was mined, coined and made into jewelry over the last millennia, that ruins can be crammed with it and jealous monsters collect it for its mysterious power to sustain their magic.
