Bolgowan

Merchant House and City of N'Ger

(Merchant House City)

Established approx. 10,000 years before UE by Karthanian Colonists. During a time the Karthanian just developed their space ship building and Tech exporting society.

The Karthanian leaders name was Bolgowan.

N'Ger intended to be one of the first trading posts for Karthanian merchandise outside of Khartania.

It was established by the Hullbuilders guild.

The rivaling Engineers guild established Boluren at about the same time, and while they were both Karthanian the rivaly (first subtle) begun almost from the start.

The distance and the courier ship only communication had the colonies become more and more independend.

Instead of just selling products of their mother guild. They started purchasing from all Karthanian guilds and were less and less willing to share their profits.

The Karthanian Trade post of the Hullbuilders guild became an entirely independent colony, after the first Engineer favored Boluren over a now forgotten argument.

Bolgowan declared itself no longer part of the Karthanian society. It started to buy ship wrecks, outdated and old vessels from other sources ( Orkh, Togar , Ongloran ) and stripped them and rebuilt them using their own

tech. The demand was there and their refurbished ships of good quality.

This is the core business of the Bolgowan Merchant house to this day. Buy old tech and refurbishing it to sell it again. It expanded over the centuries trading ore, scrap, minerals. Since trade was based on the exchange of goods (no common currency) the

Bolgowans operated merchant ship fleets trading with other wares as well.

Like all the other houses they rely on slave labor for anything that could be done this way.

Large Slums and Slave camps developed aroun Bolgowan (and all the other cities)

The leading families are the Bolgo-Lords, mostly but no longer exclusivley Karthanian.

The City has apopulation of about 8 Million, with slave and slum populations estimated an aditional 10 Million.The Bolgowan controlled land with factories, towns, farms, mines etc spreads over about 10% of the Surface area.

A City guard (hired) and a Lord Militia provides security and enforces the will of the Bolgo Lords and the ruling Lord Master.

The City colors are Brown and White. The tents and stalls at the Glaring Desert of Profit beloning to the city are marked in these colors.
