Marno

Marno is a mountain city in the Ezel Mountains of Leira, known for it's local agriculture and quarries. The city has existed for years, since the aboriginal tribes quarried the dark stone found in the Ezel Mountains for buildings. The city regained it's former glory when the kingdom on Ashar came to be in the beginning of the 3rd Century. The gnomes of Marno pride themselves in their Droatic patriotism. In the mountains is where talk of revolt began during the Great War, and Marno is known as the home of the Revolution.
Marnoans are a hearty farming folk, very warm and inviting to strangers and kin. While the mountains are rich is stone, unlike in Ashar and in areas down near the mouth of the Amlug River, there aren't many ruins of the Ca-Coul civilizations. The stone was mostly merely harvested here by the Ca-Coul, but used down south. There are many who mine and quarry the stone still today. When it comes to agriculture, rice, pineapple, and peanuts have been farmed in the region for as long as it's been civilized. The principle crop for these agriculturists though is rice and export through Bertelis has granted Droas most of it's wealth.
