Stoneflint Mines
History
Founded in 876 as part of House Emberforge's expansion during the Age of Emberforge. Rich marble quarries were surveyed in 814, after which an expedition was launched to mine them. The veins turned out to be more significant than was first discovered, and so eventually a permanent colony of Stoneflint mines were set up after other materials like iron and tin were discovered in the area.
A large explosion in 916 damaged a large part of the town. The hard working conditions and rough and tumble nature of the town means its not a very inviting to strangers and so few people have moved here.
Population
Today the town is home to 2500 people, with 60% being dwarves, 30% Humans and then 10% everything else. The town is continuing to grow, though slowly. The town is not very inviting, with hard work in the mines for nearly everybody.
Economy
Marble, Tin, Iron and other non precious materials are mined here in large abundence. This industrial nature of the town has led to a hardy but also uninviting part of the town. The exception to this is Hooper and Cooper , a renowned barrel maker who is sought after across Belkar.
