History

Originally known as Ruby Hollow, and home to a few independent inter-related families. They were soon bought out by the Mining Guild some think forcibly, but as the family isn't talking no one knows for sure. Walter Finch, made the first claim, he called his family to help stake his claim and keep it. 

The Finch family discovered a type of huge "worm" that tunnels through rock searching for limestone and other types of rock and minerals. The ones that they can't digest are left in its tunnels as a trail behind it. This actually made it easier to mine, because the tunnels left behind were composed of soft deposits that were easy to clear out and its droppings were the types of minerals that they wanted to mine. Oddly, it bypassed the orichulum as it gave them indigestion. 

Geography

The mine is located in a dense area of highly desired minerals and ores. Eureka is situated in a rough mountainous country that is hard to get to with wheeled vehicles, four-legged transportation is a must.

Natural Resources

The surrounding area is covered in cedar and Douglas fir forests, as well as maple, willow, and others. The hills abound in wildlife of all types.
