"Prices, of course, tend to fluctuate with given markets and seasons. If there are few such on the market in a given time, their prices will tend to be proportionately higher." HUNTERS OF GOR, Pg. 32

A golden tarn disk was a small fortune. It would buy one of the great birds themselves, or as many as five slave girls." TARNSMEN OF GOR, Pg. 191

"The tarn I had sold in Kasra, for four golden tarn disks." TRIBESMEN OF GOR, Pg. 43

There are a couple types of flora indigenous to this region. The needle tree, an evergreen, is common in the Thentis mountain region and also the northern forests. Its oil is used as an ingredient in making perfume. Thentis Veminium is a bluish, softly petaled wildflower commonly found in the lower ranges of the Thentis Mountains and also used as an ingredient in perfumes. These two items would tend to imply that cities within the mountains may have numerous Perfumers.
The high city of Thentis lies in a remote area within these rugged mountains. It is most famed for its fine tarn flocks and skilled tarnsmen. The books do not state who leads the city or even if an Administrator or Ubar rules. The city must import its grain so it is safe to assume they engage in little agriculture. But, it is a wealthy city due to its large tarn flocks and a number of silver mines. Though the mines provide them with a source of wealth, they are not as rich as the silver mines of Tharna. Though it is a mountain city, it is still composed of cylinders like most Gorean cities.
Black wine is a coffee-like drink made from beans grown in the mountain city of Thentis. It is very strong and bitter. Thentis does not trade the beans to make this drink. They wish to maintain a monopoly on this product, further enhancing their wealth. But, it is a luxury even in Thentis. It is commonly only served in High Caste Homes. It is also an expensive luxury outside Thentis, affordable only by the wealthy. Few except for the most expensive of paga taverns would serve blackwine due to its rarity and expense. There is one reference where a cup of blackwine outside of Thentis sold for a silver eighty-piece.

Leathers and Furs
– A full, tanned piece of leather or a fully tanned fur pelt

"'The price of a good sleen pelt is now a silver tarsk,' said Arn." HUNTERS OF GOR, Pg. 23
This would be like buying from the outdoor trapper. Once the fur goes to the tanner and furrier, the price goes way up.
