Nohraz was for a time a great producer of quarried stone for Vorduhrian constructions. However, even before the explosion of Dain they lacked the wealth or influence of many of the other regions. Therefor, when the explosion of Dain covered much of Vorduhr in toxic and destructive magic, the city of Nohraz was largely ignored by rescue and recovery efforts. To add to the suffering was the unfortunate fact that much of the settlements and industry of the Nohgar region were at the bottom of mines and quarries, where the deadly toxins settled. It has only been in recent years that the region has become safe enough to reconnect via the new Blimrail. Even with newer anti-magic technology of the 4th Age the city of Nohraz is bleak and haunted, and living there is considered high-risk for magical maladies.
