Dimensional Descent

The Ore market was the most lucrative in Valiant Heart. If one thought about it, this wasn't too surprising. What else would one expect to find in a world of such mountainous regions if not and endless number of Ores? Valiant Heart was especially known for its rich Urbe Ore reserves.

One might imagine, then, for a mere white belt to claim such a large portion of this market, he definitely couldn't be a normal man.

No one knew exactly what the King of Ores' secret was, but what they did know was that he was a vicious man not many dare to cross.

All this said, the Ore Market of Valiant City wasn't what one would expect. The youths of Valiant Heart had no need for buying raw Ores. Aside from some Crafter factions within their organization, sales rarely, if ever, ended up in the hands of the students of Valiant Heart.

Rather, the Ore Market was a hotspot for traders coming from outside Valiant Heart.

The youths usually took missions that could range in anything from finding the sources of new Ore Veins to excavating already existing mines. Usually, these youths would be under the wing of factions who laid claim to these Ores for themselves.

These Ore Factions designated youths with unique abilities to find new Ore sources while deploying their stronger members toward guarding the veins they claimed. The lowest ranking members were tasked with minding and bringing these Ores back.

These Ores would then be brought to the market and sold, mostly in bulk, to various trading companies.

Valiant Heart Mountain was content to allow their students to battle it out over these resources, taking a kickback from the taxes. This way, they could both accumulate resources and funds while training the next generation all at once.

Due to these reasons, the Ore Market was simultaneously a place of profit and a battlefield of commerce.
