Imperial Arcstones arrive in the city from an unknown mine. The miners that go there never return. Arcstones are shipped by ship over the River Aniene. The transport is managed by the Imperial Army; they provide the ships and men. The ships arrive in the city at the Imperial Docks. These docks were once a hub of trade within the city, until the imperial government took over everything there. All docks, warehouses, and other buildings became property of the Empire, who paid a fair price.
Once arcstones arrive at the docks, they are distributed to nearby warehouses, again under the supervision of the army. The Ministry of Imports then distributes arcstones throughout the city to Pallida University, Magewrights, the Order of the Gorgon, and other organizations.
