The role of the Farmer entails tending to the grazing pastures of Istriot soil and reaping its crops for the progression of agricultural industry within the duchy.

 

The role of the Breeder stands to raise Larian livestock until they reach an age suitable for the slaughterhouse, or until purchased by an outside source.

 

The role of the Lumberer  is meant only for some of the strongest Istriots within Orenia, for it is the Lumberer who must hack down the towering pines within Laria and Pompourelia to collect wood.

 

The role of the Artisan is to shape the raw lumber into furniture or other practical uses. An artisan is also expected to be a stonemason, chiseling the rocks and ores the miners retrieve into pieces of Istriot artwork.

 

The role of the Miner entails plunging one’s self into the deepest nooks and caverns unbeknownst to the naked eye where they may carve from the earth’s crust precious minerals and ores.

 

The role of the Blacksmith is thought to be another vocation requiring strong Istriot arms, as they are those who tend to the melting fires of the forge to process raw ore into weapons and armor manifold.

Payment and Contracts

 

Workers of the Istriot Mercantile Co. make what they merit based on what contracts have been completed. There is no routinely wage for any smith or breeder, but instead there is what the client has offered. The agreed upon sum between the company member and the client will then be paid to the company itself and cut given to the member taking into accord of the services the company has given the member.
