Allos
Allos is a province in the Midian Empire, located on the island of Moria. It is known for its dense forests, and the large cave and tunnel network that runs beneath its surface, which is home to the majority of the province's population - kobolds. The province is rich in natural resources, particularly precious stones, minerals and metals, which have been extracted by the kobolds for centuries. The province's mining and artisanry industries are well developed and respected, and they have become major exporters of gems, jewelry, metalwork, and other crafts.
The major aboveground city, located on the southern coast, is a bustling hub of trade and commerce, connecting the province to the rest of the empire and the world beyond. The city is a melting pot of different cultures and races, where kobolds and humans, dwarves, elves, and halflings all come together to trade goods and share ideas. This city is known as Tunnelport and it's one of the major ports of Midia.
Allos is a land of natural beauty, but also of great danger, as the cave and tunnel network are home to many hazards, including cave-ins, dangerous creatures, and treacherous passages. Only the most skilled and experienced kobold miners and explorers dare to venture deep into the underground. The province's culture is unique, and is based on the kobold's way of life, and they have a deep respect for their underground home, and a strong tradition of mining, craftsmanship, and trade.

Agriculture & Industry
What Allos lacks in agriculture it makes up for in industry, the extensive cave networks are home to foundries and forges beyond count. its said that no finer steel exists than what is forged in the caverns of Allos.

There exists some rail networks spread across the underground tunnels, which have been repurposed from mining to the transport of goods and people between the warrens.
