'''Economy:''' Tartaros has exclusive noble privilege to a small aquifer to the north of Tyr.  While the lands are somewhat further away from Tyr itself than many other noble holdings, Tartaros lands are very prosperous.  Tartaros is VERY adept at growing crops and various types of herbs/vegetables/mushrooms.  Tartaros is also very adept at concocting a number of different types of alchemical substances such as the variants of "Dream Honey" the regular type is used to keep the vast number of slaves in line and docile a slightly altered form of "Dream Honey" (known as "Nightmare") turns a recipient into a berserker.  The number of slaves that Tartaros has and seemingly produces at an astonishing rate no can say if it’s by forced enslavement or forced breeding.  The slaves serve a secondary function as the main portion of the military (see below).
