Iros Forge

(article on the old wiki)

Iros Forge is a mining community in the Bloodmane Hills near Wydmoor Free City. It produces regular iron, as well as a magical, chaotic variant known as Red Iron.

The first shaft at Iros Forge was sunk shortly after the end of the Third Interregnum, and mining operations have grew steadily since then until the Calamity. For almost all of its history, these mines were controlled by a consortium of interests, both civic and private. Most recently, Iros Forge business interests are managed through companies with direct ties to the Odessan government, without any real effort made to conceal the connection. Productivity has climbed in recent decades, but are still not at their pre-Calamity levels.

Not surprisingly, Iros Forge has played a prominent role in military and political affairs in Wydmoor. Most of the powerful First Families of Wydmoor owned shares in the Iros Forge, and the profits from these mines were instrumental in forming the Bank of Wydmoor. Today, Odessan influence has made its contributions to the recovering Wydmoor's economy less crucial than in the past.

Anto was born and raised here, before moving to Wydmoor to pursue a bounty hunting career.
