Trade & Resources

List of notable resources in the kingdom:

LOCAL CURRENCY

The Kingdom of Castiel has a thriving economy thanks in part to the previous Ardalian occupation. The Cassians were always considered strong shipbuilders and sailors. When the Ardalians introduced their organizational strategies for trade, the city of Castiel flourished from this new line of commerce and strengthened by the sea trade routes. The kingdom also found themselves the inheritors of displaced craftsmen and farmers from the wars to the east which further increased their role as a power in the north.
