Although Hornfort is the capital of the Monta Republic, Solingen is the most prosperous and thriving city in this mountain nation.
Benefiting from its rich mineral resources and the settlement of skilled craftsmen, Solingen has long been a famous town of ironworkers in the Monta imperial domain—albeit only within Monta.
Constrained by the mountains, the high-quality ironware of Solingen could not be transported out.
Even if it could be transported, the lords and autonomous cities outside preferred to protect the local iron products that contributed taxes.
Until thirty years ago, two major events happened.
The first event: The completion of the Wooper Canal, which connected the waterways between Rose River and Ashen Stream River.
To excavate this short canal, the Solingen Ironsmiths' Guild took forty years just to raise funds.
