Black Rock City borders a small country affiliated with Aran and is the starting point of the Mulong Railroad.
Though it has been less than a year since it was converted into a duchy, in its kingdom days, this place frequently traded with Aran and Beima. Famous products from the Far East, shipped from Beima's East Coast, were sold by merchants to land traders who resold them at exorbitant prices in Golden Palm Port, west of the Narrow Sea, often passing through this place.
In these times of great turmoil, powerful nations constantly struggle, and full-scale war could break out at any moment.
For the wealthy west of the Narrow Sea, the import prices of Far Eastern products are high, and even during wartime, escort teams take great risks. With the railroad far from complete, the last few years of this sunset industry are crucial for those who've made a living off it all their lives.
