Bejwaere is small and not particularly important on a global scale, but it does have one asset. Bejwaere is full of bees. As such, the Faestir produce much of the area's honey. But a more important asset is the wax. Unique to the bees inhabiting the caverns north of Arsonis Vex, this wax can be melted into cloth or leather. This waterproofs the cloth, while allowing it to remain supple. This is far more pleasant than the animal fat otherwise used, which smells, causes leather to crack, and is not entirely effective. This is the primary export of the Faestir, and in exchange they receive metal goods and food to supplement what they grow.

Honey, wax and waterproof textiles, while highly valued, are not the only export of Bejwaere. The Faestir devotion to hats has created a number of interesting styles novel to outsiders. Faestir millinery is prized by both the fashionable and wealthy for its excellent construction and cunning style. Few such hats are exported as the local demand more than meets supply, and making one suitable for outsiders requires custom work. This only makes them more prized as a status symbol elsewhere.
