ZernasssBefore the discovery of Arcanium, the mines were considered one of the most dangerous zones of the world and were mostly a barren wasteland where no one lived. Yes, the mines had plenty of common minerals, but those could be found in more accessible zones in the world, which meant that no one wanted to go through the logistical hassle of dealing with this land.
After the discovery of Arcanium, it was quickly named a special administrative zone, meaning that no country could claim the terrain as theirs and it was under the purview of the RCAE. Thus now the council had a task ahead of them, they needed the arcanite that was only accessible at this location to maintain their new found power to control essentialists, but the same issues that plague the zone before were still present. No one, no matter the price wanted to come to an essence monster-infested zone riddled with many possible dangers including cave in's, gas pockets, and many other hidden horrors.
Throughout the years many different strategies were tried including having a stationed Hunter's organization in the area to deal with the monsters that appeared in the area. At some point in the last 200 hundred years inmates who were the worst of the worst and had been sentenced to the Maximum Security System were used to mine the place for resources, since all of them were essentialists they could use their essences to withstand the stresses of the region. Due to this the supply of Arcanite stopped, but a new problem arose, how will they maintain a constant workforce in such a dangerous area since highly dangerous inmates were not an infinite resource?
