Being the third largest city of the country, Thekhor plays an important, if understated role in the nation’s politics. Located against the foot of a large mountain range the city gets most of its economic wealth from its mines. The gemstones mined from the depths of the mountains are often sent to Eskhor where they are purchased by the wealthy or sold on at a premium. Accusations of illegal trade routes to Athesh have always been denied by the local government.
