Cogweaver's Claim

Discovery, Exploration

The gnomish tribe of Cogweavers discovers a large vein of iron ore in the mountains near the current location of Ironhold. They establish a mining outpost and begin extracting the ore.

A thousand years ago, the gnomish tribe of Cogweavers made a groundbreaking discovery. Deep in the mountains near what is now Ironhold, they found a large vein of iron ore, the likes of which they had never seen before. Recognizing the potential value of this find, they quickly established a mining outpost and began extracting the precious metal. For years, the Cogweavers worked tirelessly, tirelessly mining the iron ore and refining it into useful materials. They developed new techniques and technologies to improve their efficiency and make the most of their discovery. Soon, word of their success spread, and other gnomish tribes began to flock to the area, hoping to share in the riches that the iron mine promised.   As the mining outpost grew, it became a hub of innovation and progress. The Cogweavers developed new machines, tools, and technologies that made it easier to mine and refine the iron ore. They built workshops, factories, and forges that could produce finished goods out of the raw materials they mined. The outpost quickly grew into a thriving settlement, attracting merchants, adventurers, and craftsmen from all over the land.   The discovery of the iron mine marked a turning point in the history of Ironhold. It allowed the gnomish tribes to establish a permanent foothold in the area, laying the foundations for the city that would eventually arise. The iron that the Cogweavers mined would become the cornerstone of Ironhold's economy, powering its growth and development for centuries to come.
