The Rise of Aman-Tal

Revolution

With the ascension of Lord Luck, Bahram, the first major mortal civilizations began to acquire wealth and sophisticated systems of trade.   Skarum-Tal is one of these civilizations. They discover secondary gold in the canals around the blossoming city.

This is not remarkable, except for the fact that the city’s mining operations also strikes a gold vein, rich with quartz, silver, gold, and other precious minerals. Mining operations increased capacity.   The presence of gold propels the city into prominence. Its wealth in knowledge and its wealth in literal wealth make it a desirable regional destination. Its accessibility by river from the west and by land from the north helped it become a powerful trade hub.   Gold was so plentiful that it began to find prominence in city decor: Gilded marble, gilded caps on buildings, gold woven into aristocratic clothing.   During this time, the settlement becomes known as Aman-Tal, the Golden City.
