North Thornafell

North Thornafell is a powerful and influential nation in Moria, renowned for its near-complete domination of the water industry across a planet where hydration is a rare and invaluable resource. In a world plagued by heat and arid climates, North Thornafell thrives thanks to its unique natural environment—sprawling lands dotted with colossal cacti, each the size of small towers, capable of naturally collecting, storing, and purifying immense quantities of water within their thick, fibrous bodies.
  Capitalizing on this natural phenomenon, the people of North Thornafell have built massive industrial pumping facilities around these titanic plants. These factories, complex and humming with energy, tap into the inner reserves of the cacti and extract clean water which is then processed, packaged, and prepared for export. The facilities are powered by Aetherdiesel.
  As the nation exports its precious commodity to cities and regions across the planet, Thornafellian water becomes both lifeline and luxury—and with such value comes danger. Outgoing shipments are frequent targets for bandits and black-market syndicates who aim to seize control of the water and resell it at outrageous prices. Armed escorts, arcane shielding, and desert patrols are constantly employed, but the hostile environment and organized raiding parties make protection a costly and never-ending effort.
