Workshops Types

Each workshop type specializes in different production chains and serves specific market demands across Calradia’s diverse economic landscape.

Olive Press

Olive presses transform olives into valuable olive oil, primarily found in southern Calradian regions. These workshops capitalize on Mediterranean-style climates where olive groves flourish and oil commands premium prices in northern markets.
