Historically, Urteau was of rather great importance as it used to be situated upon the canals, which means that House Venture, who had ownership of the city, had control over every shipment of merchandise that needed to get to other cities (particularly Luthadel). Since ships are one of the only ways to transport heavy merchandise at a reasonable speed, through taxes and other fees, the city had quickly risen to become one of the most important ones in the area.{{book ref|mb3|14}} However, during the time of [[Quellion]]'s rule, the canals were dried and used as roads, as places for merchants and beggars, and as a location for homeless skaa to spend the night.{{book ref|mb3|16}} |
