Nitre, brimstone, and char, that's the alchemical formula for wealth.
- Within the depths of the Strashyan Geyser Coral Column, near where the coral sits flush over the geysers, is a promising outcrapping of nitre. Early Divination speculation has revealed it to be a very lucrative vein.
- To make matters even better, the geyser is a natural source of sulphur. Xetto intended to add an explosives factory to Nejethon, and to make a strong family business in precious explosives.
- Unfortunately, the presence of the Nitre compels the Gishani Marshall's Office to place a different family here and move Xetto off to settle another area. Although Xetto enjoys settling, he is tired of living IdSathiid, and would rather finish growing Nejethon into a family stronghold for tel Rakuni, leading to the current argument.
Strasyan Nitre would be of greater service to all if you sold us your island. We will reward you handsomely, give you a new plot of land on the frontier, and grant you oversight of further terraformation on Strasya, but all inhabitants would be moved offsite and replaced with Jhoutiagari.

Massive Deposit
According to the Masons who discovered and surveyed the deposit, the vein runs down beyond 100m.
Covered Mine
With the coral column growing overhead, it would not be difficult to clear out a hollow to mine within, however it would produce dangers of exhaust and pollution that would have to be carefully weighed and negated, lest the still-fragile and growing ecosystem be killed before it has matured
