Darkhallow

An ancient city famed for the unique black stone mined here. Darkhallow is the oldest city in the Uncrowned Lands. People have lived in the region and mined the Inkstone found here since before the Age of Arcanum. Although centuries of mining has seen the city slowly move north-ward as new buildings are built closest to the current vein. Currently, most of the mining is done outside of the city, closely guarded by the Broken Throne's troops.  

Locations

The Cleaved Bastion: The fortress that serves as the primary headquarters of the Broken Throne, as well as the home of the Uncrowned King. The Cleaved Bastion is an imposing structure with black spikes and heavy fortifications, it's most notable feature the diagonal edge of its upper floor, which gives the fortress its name.
Upcast: The affluent part of Darkhallow. Close to the bastion, the area serves as a residential district for the well-off, as well as the location for most of the better shops.
Longwall: The largest area of Darkhallow, lined against the inside of the city walls. Most people and shops are located here.
Blackdamp: Old areas of the mines that have been picked clean of Inkstone. These days they are used as cheap housing by the poor, or as hideout for those unwilling to be found.
Stinkdamp: The industrial part of town, where most of the labour not associated with mining is performed. Situated against the river, the area seems permeated by the smell coming from the tanneries that process the hides coming in from the surrounding farmland.
  Rose Keep: The home of the Red Wizards in Darkhallow. Rose Keep is a trade compound consisting of a walled enclave holding a courtyard and a reinforced building with an attached tower. The top of the tower has traditional battlements, but it also holds an observatory of sorts. Rose Keep is open for business on daylight hours, where any customer can enter the courtyard and peruse wares or commission a service.
