Thus, Baron Leyan did not develop the region, leaving the mines idle in that area; after all, given the richness of resources in South Ridge, it was cheaper to sell Dawn Glow Grass Extract and then buy ore with the money than to mine it himself.
But now, Ian was certainly going to restart the development of these mines and wastelands, as it's common sense that significant resource development cannot rely entirely on imports.
In the Barony, Leyan Territory could be said to have the highest level of configuration.
One must know that Ian's hometown, overseen by Viscount Grant of Harrison Port, though large in area, only had a slightly larger population than Leyan Territory. As for wealth... as a major trading port, it could be considered on par with Leyan Territory.
