## Worldbuilding

### Economy

Considered to be one of the richest domains of the Northern Kingdoms, Aedirn with its well-developed economy, and its location between mountains that supply abundant resources.

For example, Gulet and Eysenlaan have huge steelworks and forging plants, while Vengerburg and Aldersberg, specialize in the manufacture of wool and weaving as well as having malt mills and distilleries. A favored crop of Aedrin is pumpkins. Though this information is from before the war and sacking of Aedirn by Nilfgaard.

### Society & Culture
