Export regions

Quicksilver is mercury, a silvery liquid metal that runs into bright, mobile drops. It is surprisingly heavy, and a leak can send it into gaps between other goods. Leather bags are among the containers used to carry it.

Silver miners need it for amalgamation, a process used to recover silver from ore. Almadén and Huancavelica supply important routes in this trade. A cargo of quicksilver may look less impressive than the silver it helps produce, but mining settlements depend on its arrival.
