History
Sherborne began its life as a small encampment set up by the Sherborne Mining Collective, which at that time was a very small mining operation that had struck a sizable vein of iron. A few years into the dig, they discover just what a score they had unearthed. Discovered in addition to the iron was large amounts of silver, copper, and Vectrium. The need for laborers, smelting, forging, transportation, and storage brought more and more people to the camp. The permanent structures began to make an appearance as families sent down roots to live and work in Sherborne. The camp grew to a point that it needed leadership to maintain organization and peace leading to the village of Sherborne birth. Sherborne continues to expand and grow over the years. The Daxtron's Foundry was founded to allow smelting their large yield locally and for larger profit. With the Grey Trading Company moving in shortly after helping provide transportation and accounting for mercantile efforts of the town.
