Haven

"What do ya' need to know? Haven is a rough place... a small town in a cold land. Sure there are rich mines in the hills, but between the wild elves in the hills and the goblin tribes in the valleys it's hard to get to anything from here. Why do you think all of our coaches are armored and guarded? Or why do we have so many mercenaries sitting around? This land is harsh, and iron or blood both come at a price. So tell me, why are you even here?" - Deep Iron mercenary captain.
