* **Maxwell Pantera** - A star football player for the York Boreals, and its captain. Boys and girls alike are likely to have a picture of him somewhere in their bedroom. In addition to captaining the team, Pantera also fields as a striker or attacker. Max frequently uses the lulls in his schedule to make visits to schools, teaching kids the importance of good fitness, teamwork, and charity - as well as signing autographs and showing them his awesome kicking skills. | * **Maxwell Pantera** - A star football player for the York Boreals, and its captain.

York's economy is reliant on its trade of refinery and export of materials. York's forests provide lumber, which is refined into timber and shipped throughout Albion.

York also shares close trade ties with Longuyon for its raw materials. Once prepared and packed onto a train or through Null, the products are exported primarily to Regum, Iwerddon, Myrddin, and back to Longuyon. | York's economy is reliant on its trade of refinery and export of materials.
