Oakhaven Deep

Oakhaven Deep is a vertical marvel where dwellings are carved into massive Iron-Oaks and mining shafts plunge deep into the emerald-veined rock. Glowing moss provides light in the streets while the constant rhythmic thrum of hammers echoes through the leaves. It is a place of damp earth and high stakes where every gold coin earned is paid for in sweat and soil. The boundaries between nature and industry are blurred into a singular, grimy existence.

History

Founded by a pact between wood elves and dwarves, Oakhaven Deep was designed to extract Green-Gold copper while preserving the sacred forest canopy. For generations, the settlement thrived by trading refined ores for southern grains. However, the recent discovery of the Abyssal Vein has sparked a gold rush that threatens the town's founding treaties. Today, the town stands on the brink of a civil war between those who worship the trees and those who crave the deep.

Founding EraThe Pact of LeavesElves and dwarves signed a treaty to share the forest mineral wealth.
