Oakhaven Deep

Oakhaven Deep is a vertical industrial marvel clinging to the jagged walls of Mount Oros. Its architecture is a blend of stout stone masonry and iron scaffolding that hums with the vibration of heavy machinery. Smelters glow like embers against the perpetual gray mist of the peaks. While the exterior is rugged and soot-stained, the interior tunnels are vast and surprisingly warm, illuminated by bioluminescent moss and magical lanterns.

History

Founded three centuries ago by a coalition of exiled dwarves and human pioneers, the town flourished after the discovery of Star-Silver. It survived the Great Tremor of 114 which collapsed the lower residential wards. Since then, the town has focused on reinforcing its foundations with magical runes. It remains the primary source of rare ores for the southern kingdoms despite its isolated and dangerous location.
