Closer to home, as our city slowly grew, our people began to innovate. Mastering agriculture, we cultivated the nearby cornfields. Mastering basic ship building, we honed our fishing capabilities to begin extracting large quantities of clam from the bay. And the development of masonry techniques led to the quarrying of the nearby stone and the production of a paved road on which to transport the great construction material back to the city.
In 2250 BCE, we had our first major domestic development. A group of Bibracte citizens saw great promise in the land and sea straight south of the capital city. We already knew of the wild rice in the area, but the ocean side of the southern peninsula was also as tremendous a fishing environment as the bay was for clams. This new group of settlers elected to construct a new city on the peninsula to take advantage of the rice and fish, and one day foreseeably compete in the bay's clam market. They named their settlement
Durnovaria, the second major city in the nation of Celtia.
