Agriculture & Industry

Fertile land is scarce and food grows slowly so a huge amount of food is constantly being imported into the region. They have a monumental mining, smelting and blacksmithing industry and export their wares around the world. Their countless fortresses support a large and highly skilled masonry industry.

The main arterial road leads straight Amber City with an off-shoot leading to Wesport and bares the majority of the kingdom's trade. There are numerous smaller roads that lead to Maringrad and Morris. All roads in the region converge on Motherburg. They also trade through small ports on the coasts.
