Direbluff
Direbluff is a village at the base of the mountain range with mining - and why it was built here in the first place. There is a vast network of mining tunnels and shafts built into the mountain behind the village. Over recent years, they have built a mining facility to increase operations in order to keep up with the Empire's demand for steel. This part of the mountain mostly provides iron, copper, and steel, which the village mines daily.
Roughly half of the population here are Dwarven. You will also find a few other races, but humans make up most of the other half of the residents. Most everyone here either works in the mines or for the mining facility, but you will find a few residents that make a good living crafting the metals. There is also a well known but slightly eccentric gnome metallurgist who lives here providing help while doing his unorthodox research with the mined resources.
The Idle Hammer is a fairly typical dwarven inn providing strong ale, bland food, short beds, and loud laughter. If you're ever wanting to waste a few hours of your time drinking, then merely ask either owner about the huge rusty hammer hanging on the wall. Besides the dark heavy dwarven ale, this is also a good place to kick back and relax while catching up on all the latest gossip.
Due to the mining contracts signed with the Empire, there are Imperial barracks here, so guards are a common site. They ensure that the precious steel is shipped promptly to Imperial forges to make more weapons and armor. The guards tend not to interfere with the daily operations as long as the steel shipments are leaving on time. They are highly suspicious of any strangers visiting that may look like bandits or the sort that may want to steal Imperial shipments.
Recent whispers have been heard of a few miners going missing while working inside the mines. The guards have assured everyone that no one is missing and everything is perfectly safe within the mines. So, it's business as usual here in this mining village of Direbluff.
