History
Market Chipping was originally a small Kyono farming settlement that was made the capital of the Abrose colony after its creation. It was annexed by the developing Kingdom of Irieu in 1403 AD along with many other neighboring colonies. As the Industrial Revolution began it was made a center of industry for its centrality and ease of access to resources, connection to Porthaven and Kingsbury, large population and economy, and its already present rail line. Market Chipping has become a military target in the current Third Day War for its industrial capabilities and has been bombed several times by Ciloumante airships. During the March 5 raid by Ciloumante, 30% of the city was destroyed and more than 2,000 people were killed, many more were injured. The following day more than half of the population evacuated.

Culture
Market Chipping has a rich history of culture. The city has long been a centre of trade on Espion and with it many unique items and goods have been brought through Porthaven from foreign lands giving it a diverse cultural identity.
