Eisendreieck
The Town
The hamlet of Eisendreieck was once a thriving farming and mining community. When rich iron deposits were found in a trio of hills, the region became known as the Iron Triangle. A group of colonists surveyed the region and identified the current location as ideal for a village to support the mines being dug into the hills. It is situated about a week’s journey west of Sudenburg. This walled hamlet supported farms, orchards and fed the miners toiling underground nearby.
The coming of the Twin Tailed Comet however proved to be an ill omen for the region. Within days of the first sighting in the year 2000, the ground shook in what locals called the ‘day of reckoning’. The largest of the mines experienced a catastrophic cave in, killing many of the miners. The superstitious miners began to flee the region, and many of the farmers with them. As the bandits and beasts and monsters moved back in only the hardiest, most dedicated remained. These souls renewed their resolve, fortified their farmsteads and kept on doing what they had done for generations – providing food for Sudenburg, as well as iron ore in as great quantity as they could dig out of the ground of the one remaining mine.
Today, with the rise of the Merchant Princes, spirits in this hamlet are high. Situated high on the cliffs over the branch of the Blood river leading to Sudenburg, the council has established a permanent watch tower in the hamlet to give early warning of shipping, be it trade or military, along the river. With this there are also recent arrivals to the area, both cooperative and opportunistic. Bandits and marauding raiders have been spotted, possibly utilising abandoned farmsteads as their home bases, and unconfirmed rumours of elves. Orcs have also been seen in the hills near the mines.
The burgomeister of the hamlet recently granted leave to an engineering school to claim and begin to restore the old foundry that once serviced the mines, and strange human visitors from across the seas have offered their aid in managing the beasts and bandits.
Regular caravans of food are sent along the main road to Sudenburg, and twice yearly a major caravan forms, as the burgomeister presses the local militia and other supportive factions into service to escort the precious ore that is the regions only other source of wealth. Skilled soldiers are always welcome to apply to join this journey, and will be paid well, in addition to the opportunity to see the great sights of Sudenburg.
