Napier

Napier started out as a guard post/barracks that quickly grew due to its choice location.  It was intended to act as an outpost for the then state’s capitol Messiah (Then called NaMonne). Residents found that there was an abundance of Boar-Bass in the nearby Presby River, a boon which greatly contributed to Napier’s rise to prominence.  As wharfs and fishing farms popped up, Napier’s wealth and population grew.  Today, Napier is the Coalition’s premier supplier of Boar-Bass, a staple commodity across the region.  There is also a moderate mining sector in the town, primarily serviced by the contractor Ruairc Excavation Services, LLC..  Workers primarily mine Vanadium, Osmium, as well as Cinderite at select locations in the Bostrom Peaks as well as the Devanean Alps.  It has been alleged that Ruairc and other companies may be using slave labor to improve their profit margins, however it is unknown whether this is true or corporate sabotage between competing businesses.
The town still shows signs of its military roots: the residents are a hardy and self-reliant people  and it is the only city in the Coalition that maintains a strong local-run standing army (around 100,000 troops), functioning as a quasi city-state.
