Malthlyn
Originally a land grant to a Foerdewaith knight by the overking five centuries ago, Malthlyn found prosperity through a silver mine established in the nearby Mistwood. Unfortunately, after several years the original Count Mathen went insane and murdered his family before killing himself at the family estate. The mine was closed, and the town sank into obscurity for centuries. Only recently has an heir to the Mathen name moved back in and re-established lordship over the town and mine after mithral was discovered within. A consortium of merchants in distant Bard’s Gate provided the Mathen heirs the funding to reopen the mine and their ancestral estate. Because of the ominous reputation of the Moon Fog Hills and the dangers in transporting the mithral ore to the nearest ports, the consortium contracted Wayriders from the duke of Waymarch to provide security in and around the town. When shipments failed to arrive as expected, a company of Lyreguard from Bard’s Gate was dispatched to investigate the problem. The merchants have yet to hear back from these troops.
