Breptor
Breptor was one of the first Empire towns founded after Eal in the late 500s in response to discoveries of gold deposits in the neighboring hillsides on the edge of the Eastern Desert. Its founding is responsible for the creation of the Ravens Way, the road from Eal across the desert to Na'Faish, as explorers pushed deeper and deeper into the rock and sand in search of more treasures. These initial gold deposits have long since been mined out and the area is pitted with old mine pits. Travellers are advised to stick to the roads as abandoned mining shafts aren't always well marked.
It is not uncommon for Breptor to gain a new influx of travellers in response to rumours of a new vein of gold being discovered in the area. The reliability of such rumours is...varied. Still, citizens of Breptor do make a reasonably prosperous living. There is more than gold to be found in the nearby hills. Iron, copper, nickel and even tungsten are being actively mined in the area. Control of the mines is held by only three families of the magocracy, and Empress O'Mala has had to repeatedly threaten to forcibly take over operations to keep prices of these materials under control as the closest alternate source is as far north as Mt Pizol.
Breptor was lost to Conclave forces on 0.4.26 agf, but has been reclaimed and is slowly being rebuilt.
