When tribes of wanderers first arrived in Mnar they built the cities of Thraa, Ilarnek, and Kadatheron along the river. Other tribes, hardier than the rest, pushed farther up the river all the way to the shore of a vast unnamed lake. There they built the city of Sarnath at a place where precious metals were found in the earth. These important natural resources contributed significantly to Sarnath's immense wealth and power.
