Bor is the capital of high technology in all Magnamund. Although the Borish are usually xenophobic and highly protective of their discoveries, they are close allies with Haven. Bor is not openly expansionist, seeking rather to show the world its invulnerability and authority through technology rather than through warfare and conquest.
Besides technology, the Bors are also famed miners, smiths, and gemologists. The mineral abundance of the mountains of Bor makes the country disgustingly rich and powerful, and helps pay the cost of future research and “development.” Bors are fond of drink and food, much of which comes from the nations surrounding Bor. Bor trades a great deal with these countries, usually in the form of minerals for sustenance.
