[QUOTE="Buttercup, post: 755135, member: 990"] [b]Mor's End Craft & Trade Dossier[/b] The city of Mor’s End has around 10,000 inhabitants. Like all medieval cities this size, it is a trade hub. However, Mor’s End is also renowned for several unusual natural resources, which have brought talented craftsmen into its walls from all over the known world. Chief among these resources are the clay beds along the river. These yield clay of a surpassing quality and unusual color. Mor’s End has many pottery works that turn out everything from standard plates and cups to incredibly expensive decorative pieces. Also found in the vicinity are sapphire deposits. Ranging in color from pink to green to deepest blue, and in size from pin head (common) to robin’s egg (quite rare) these sapphires are coveted for many uses, from the mundane to the magical. The lake from which the river flows is also home to the giant Silk Fish which excrete a substance known as watersilk. Here are the businesses we will need for the city, and the number of each. If you want to create something not on this list, email Buttercup at: sprockiedog at yahoo dot com, and we can discuss it.
