Dimazcus

Dimazcus is the main trading hub for commerce between Azuria and their friendly trading nations.

History

The natural port provided by the 'Golden breakwater' saw the evolution of Dimazcus from a coastal port to a major trading hub. The city is famed for its Golden domes that sparkle in the morning light when a number of ships round the Orgrith heads and see the city for the first time. The city was built on the coast of Lureka Bay and at the river delta of the Ogrowe River which leads deeper into the Azurian lands.

Commerce

Aryag Oil

Arygan Oil comes from the nuts of the Arygan tree and this tree is unknown for many people since it grows only in the South Western part of Azuria, in an area covering 700,000-800,000 hectares. The Arygan tree produces nuts from which is extracted a very nutritious oil with the remaining husk and inside being used to feed the cattle or provide nuts shells for heating. Nothing is lost. For centuries, Azurian women of the region have produced Arygan oil which was used for their consumption and traditional Azurian medicine. Trading nations are interested in this oil either for its cosmetic and nutritional properties.
