Ironjunction

Ironjunction sits at a vital nexus where deep-earth ore is brought to the surface and traded to four kingdoms. The town is built into a canyon side with pulley systems connecting merchant districts to mine entrances. Dust from the smelters creates a permanent haze over the streets. Despite the grit, the constant flow of traders keeps the town spirit high and its markets full of exotic goods from distant lands.

Gritty and bustling with a constant smell of sulfur and hot metal.
