An independent settlement of 15,000 located on The Black Road between Llorach and The White Barrens to the west of the Stubrn Wood nestled in the south-eastern foothills of the Aegea Mountain Range at the edge of The Hellspont Dessert.
This isolated mining town is the site of extremely rich veins of copper and silver. The metallic ores were exposed by a long-ago volcanic explosion or perhaps a meteor strike that blasted out a large bowl-like crater, shearing away tons of rock, hence the name, Fireshear.
The inhabitants are all miners and trading company workers (representing most major non-evil races) who dwell here year-round, though their families may live elsewhere. Everything else is imported: food, goods, services. The ruling triumvirate seeks to ensure that the valuable ores of Fireshear fall under the control of no other city in the North, particularly Saelz.
