Derelict Mine

The Derelict Mine was the first place the non-native humans of the Aslan Valley wanted to develop. First and foremost they hoped to find new deposits of ore, but they soon discovered that there simply were none – not even a trace of ore was found. Before long the Mine was abandoned. Because the Aslan Valley was not considered a worthy place for a settlement, those who wanted to search for ore returned, and the whole area up to the Bloodhound Mountain was thoroughly searched.

Now the whole mine is overrun with weeds, inside and out. All mining tools, that were left behind are now completely rusted. The mine attracted lots of rare plants that like the humid and dark environment. Now it has become the home for hill dwarves and spotted mushroom beings.

The Silverfall Village

The village gets its name from the shimmering silver-white waterfall in its proximity. Silverfall was once a barbarian settlement, but with the expansion of the main road it evolved into a magnificent village. The barbarians who lived there were integrated into society, however some traces of their cultural heritage have stood the test of time and even real shamans still exist.

Now Silverfall is a simple hunter’s village, where tools for that craft can be found everywhere. Its main source of income is the hunt and the sale of necessities to passing adventurers. Every so often some visitors also come through here.

Bloodhound Mountain

Since the wildfire of some years ago an emerald green forest has sprung up along the Bloodhound Mountain, which is different from the rest of the Aslan Valley. Here the trees grow relatively low and there are a lot of bushes. In many places even the hard and dry soil can bee seen.

Even though the Bloodhound Mountain is goblin territory, according to barbarian legends it is a holy hill. They believe that a mighty spirit by the name of “Guard dog of the holy halls” watches over a sacred passageway. Settlers that arrived in later ages perverted the “Guard dog of the holy halls” into the “holy bloodhound”. For that simple reason newcomers think that a terrifying monster in dog guise haunts the hill and they call it Bloodhound Mountain accordingly.
