The Springs of Manxx
The purest source of water near Manxx is at the Springs
of Manxx or Manxxian Springs. Right on the border to the Calliak Forest,
this vulnerable location is where most Gashkan distillers come for the
water for their spirits.
Manxxian Springs has recently been
an area of dispute between the Empire and the Dominion. The Empire believes the
Springs, a border area between The Empire and the Nation of Freemen, should remain
a buffer zone. With the Calliak Forest full of Freemen troops, Catalania believes
that only Imperial troops could provide adequate security.
The Manxxian government, however, fears that an Imperial intervention would close down
the springs as one of the vital sources of Manxxian economy, as the best drinking water
comes from here. Distillers would be forced to close down their business or move elsewhere
for a more constant supply of water. In addition, the Government believes that the mountain
rangers, with a large garrisson near Milina, and within less than a day away from the border
should provide adequate protection.
The problem remains to be solved, the local government confident that an intelliegnt and
workable solution will be found.
