Tobacco Industry of Zundrbar

((WIP))

The growing and shipping of tobacco is a major investment taken by the Principality of Zundrbar in an attempt to make Zundrbar more well-known and have more power.

Zundrbar mainly grows tobacco in plantations in the Cape of Stranglethorn (as of the founding of the Cape Colony), and in the Southern Barrens (as of the founding of the Red Mountain Colony).

Zundrbar's primary competitor in the tobacco industry is the Tauren tobacco farmers of Mulgore, who grow the majority of the tobacco utilized by the Horde and its citizens. In the Alliance, Zundrbar is the largest single tobacco growing entity, and produces fifty percent of the tobacco utilized by the Alliance, whereas the smaller portions are attributed towards individual Pandaren farmers in Pandaria.

Zundrbar's tobacco is shipped through an increasingly complex system of trade routes in air, land, and sea, and the production is run by the Zundrbar Trading Company, specifically the Freetraders- led by Lenarre Coldbane.

History of tobacco production in Zundrbar
Tobacco was first planted in Zundrbar by Hermann Greenleaf, who eventually formed the Pat Hermann Company with Pat Pipebeard- a maker of pipes. Today, the Pat Hermann Company is one of the many subsidies held by the Zundrbar Trading Company.

Tobacco in Zundrbar was grown in the southern area, known as Soedhoek- or southern quarter. Soedhoek was known for its more tropical and Wetlands-esque environment, whereas the area of Noordhoek- or northern quarter, was known for its climate more analogous to Dun Morogh. Tobacco was grown in vast plantations, which were plots of land owned by farmers known as, "Taabakboeren," or "Tobacco farmers." Tobacco was grown like this for many years until Ghlafferge Sootbeard stepped to the throne as Prince of Zundrbar. Unlike many wartime strategies, the Dark Irons did not use a "scorched earth" policy, but rather sought to claim Zundrbar and make it a staging point for an attack on Ironforge some time in the near future. The battle was lost, but the plantations remained, and they were still used, although some began to fall into disrepair as more manpower was needed for the growing of food, rather than a cash crop.
