[Mkguild] Economy

[Chris]

I'm just trying to get some kind of mental image of the place so I can
figure out what Euper is actually like sizewise, etc.  And what the
place
itself is like.  but the people on the #MKGuild channel on IRC don't
know,
the information is either absent from the Wiki or REALLY well buried,
and
I'm just finding out things that, given the information I have, just
aren';t
possible.

If I'm going to make a proper map, and a proper economic background
article,
I think I'm going to have to have a real time chat with you and
Matthias,
and whatever other experts you recommend.

I've asked others specifically if there was some kind of reason for
religious pilgramage to the keep, and was told there wasn't any...

It seems that the Wiki needs work...  :)


>>>The Wiki ALWAYS needs work!

>>> Also The valley does have a few mines operating. The biggest ones
produce small amounts of iron and copper. The forests in the valley do
produce a healthy amount of lumber most for consumption in the valley
but some is exported. The southern part of the valley is mostly devoted
to farming and keeps the valley self-sufficient.

>>>Fear of the curse keeps a lot of potential trade away from the Keep.
