Glass is a surprisingly hot commodity in Attovia. It’s usefulness is well known, but especially in the handling, bottling and shipping of caustic or perishable fluids. However, the sand typically needed as part of the creation process is a dangerous material to gather. While it is abundant physically it is quite scarce in its acquirement. Generally teams of at least 10 men with a majority there as fighting aid in the case of True Monster incursion must be hired for a flat rate, and paid based on the weight of sand they can cart back to their employer. This is quite expensive, and people to do such work are not found just anywhere. Zoher has made this more difficult by outlawing the gathering of sand or general disruption of river systems or lakes within their borders since they are believed to have been Hormus’ tears and therefore sacred. Their fresh water is the safest on the continent thanks to the way it interacts with the Frihet Lake, but sand gathered from it can only be poached on penalty of 1000 Clips or 10 years incarceration.
