Once the capital of the Duchy of Exemplia, it's been a major trade hub for the duchy's intense trade with Antaian merchants. That traffic has only slightly subsided with the Duchy's attempted integration with the Eternal Empire, since the Emperor's attention has been on the Twenty Year War and then the Great Work following that. The Contoso Holding Company headquarters is found here, as well as the Kleinleise Exchange1), where one can trade stock in various Exemplian companies.
