Ungra Balan is the largest town in the lands of the Wegwiur.[1] It lies on the shore of Lake Quag and as a major trading port with Perrenland.[1]
Description
Ungra Balan is in the territory of the Guchek tribe of the Wegwiur.[1] It is more populous and more prosperous than Eru Tovar, since Eru Tovar lies so close to Iuz, and Ungra Balan is the commerce center of trade[2]
However, its inhabitants are not truly representative of the Wegwuir. Many townsfolk are not nomads at all, but some are former nomads who were exiled for some offense. Goods and horses can be obtained here that would otherwise be unavailable to anyone unwilling to travel the plains, so the town continues to grow. Many nomad bands have taken to wintering in the region as well, despite the disapproval of their tarkhan.[1] There are even a small number of tribal (half-mad) mages of the Wolf Nomads known for being allowed to sport the full skins of huge, white winter wolves which ordinarily are reserved for the significant leaders of the nomads. [2]
Economics
The coinage of Perrenland is accepted in Ungra Balan, which is unusual because normally throughout the lands of the Weguir, the accepted system is barter and trade.[1]
