Highrock
A mining village in the Fairheight Range, and the County of the same name, on the island of Alaron. The Count of Fairheight has a representative, the Reeve, in town to collect taxes and dispense justice. He keeps the peace, is respected, known to be fair, and seems to be just.
The village exists in a state of racial harmony between its few different races. The town is nearly completely human, though there are a few non-human races in the area.
Highrock is built on ancient ruins though most don't realize it. The ruins are actually deep in the mines, and serve as an entrance to the Underdark. Highrock is known for its silver mines, whose ore veins never seem to run out.
Highrock has two drinking establishments (Ladle & Hydrus, Turok's Tavern), no inns, one general store that specializes its goods somewhat to the miners' needs, and a marketsquare that fills twice a tenday with the goods the farmers outside the tiny village grow. The rest of the town are basically all modest residences.
