Rationales

In devising this page, I took in the following facts:
- Pathi is isolated — no outsider traders would be allowed access
- Pathi traders are wizards who both know how to Walk, and want to — this has been stated to be a low number
- Pathi has no access to transit powers that would allow for easy shipments of goods
- Pathi traders use small, single-crewed ships — no large cargoes
Thus, I can come to no other conclusion than that Pathi has to be self-sufficient for day-to-day living. From there, I simply used Greece as a template for what they produced. This is somewhat logical too, as ancient Greek city-states did not trade heavily, and so their agriculture was largely self-sufficient.
