The Plateau
Expedition logs, personal journals, and many texts from old Aramya found their abode within the sepulchral den of wisdom, the small library of Etass. Only half birthed when first opened, the structure is open, like a market for learning. Speakers hold corners to themselves for classes on the gods, poetry, literacy and business sense. The marketplace of Etass is an extension of the academic, core, of town. The marketplace, for the first century since the town was lead by the Aramyan king, was a busy centre of exchange. Coupled with the busy learning centre, the two began the process of diffusing Aramyan techniques and technology, while spreading Aramyan culture and building good starting relations with the locals.
Farming in the past was highly subsistence, and settlements were small around the lake of Etass. Traders went north, finding more villages and better agriculture, and supposedly far north there was true civilization.
Days were often sunny -- the land pleaded for intensive irrigation. Etass was situated opposite the rivers flowing into the lake, and a system of farmers, containers and directed channels was required for good growth in the enclosed region.
The first 50 years of Etassian history saw slow growth, but constant diffusion of knowledge, culture and resources to the region for its development into a trading state between the oft fantasized northern civilization, and the great consuming beast-nations south, in Levea.
