Originally, exports were made to the north through the mountain passes into the Plains of Flatness *name, but soon foreign traders began to show up on the inner gulf coast. Initial traders occurred through the fishing villages of the Bjerg clan, but eventually the three mining clans set up offices in the village of Risod. As more and more bureaucrats, tradesmen, and foreigners filled the small village, it quickly pushed up against the cliffs nearby. Soon, they began digging, and by the year 200 BUT the three main clans officially declared a new government and name for the city, Tailan.
