The people here have plenty of fire to them, and indeed, they're almost always ready to work and improve their station in life. The land here is hilly and windswept, and while there aren't a lot of rocks in the soil, water retention is a difficulty that is hard to overcome for the average farmer, as is the backbreaking work of either smoothing the land or farming up and down the inclines. As such, much of the income that finds its way into the Illumine family's purse comes from artisans and craftsmen, potters being among the most prominent professions here.
