Rhuine Rauta

Rhuine Rauta is a small mining village in Nomtai that was recently taken over by Ord-Touched Ivank The Inormous, a goliath businessman from Peridot who took over the land after the mysterious disappearance of Ord-Touched Carmine Gruff. A Dwarf artisan and architect. The village is heavily built for mining in the area and creating Ruin Ingots to the point that it is nearly impossible to find a blacksmith in the area that makes anything else. 
Alot of this is due to the towns reliance on runic shards, it powers their equipment, they use it for the engines and magical energy of their tools and lights and it is also distilled and sent to them as 'crystal' a highly addictive stimulant that can allow one to work days on end and improves mood but is, naturally, a life destroyer that many of the city are so reliant on that they find themselves working long hours for the drug or moving onto less legal means of acquisition.
The town is incredibly low on protection as Ivank only hires mercenaries to protect the town and has recently allowed them to be 'rented' by the Coldaine family in preparation for Princess Coldaines birthday.

Demographics

Mostly Dwarven due to the need for good miners and smiths though there are also significant amounts of humans and gnomes for the tinkering and blacksmithing skill.

Government

Controlled by the recently inserted Ord-Touched Ivank The Inormous, a Goliath businessman from Peridot who was inserted in return for increased shipments of runic shards to Rhuine Rauta... including more crystal being sent.

Defences

Ivank the Enormous puts heavy investment into mercenaries to protect the town and act as rough guards though he is looking to make a deal with The Jewelled from Peridot for a more 'military' and ordered guard. The town doesn't have any real defences apart from that and it's wooden walls are fairly easy to overcome after their metallic protection were removed and melted down to make more ruin ingots... in short, the town is being stripped bare for a singular purpose. 
Ivank has recently sent around 70% of his mercenaries to the capital to assist the city in preparation for the celebrations.

Industry & Trade

Ruin Ingots. It has reached a point that there are 12 blacksmiths in the town and they all deal exlusively in ruin ingots and won't take on other work. 
This leaves the settlement deeply reliant on trade with Peridot, hence why there is a sky anchor spot in this small village as its exlusively for Peridot skyships to land and accept the ruin ingots in return for runic shards and gold. 
In terms of import they only really deal in importing labour and the Freehouse farms feed the people so they heavily rely on a diet of meats and potatoes with low amounts of grain and veg. 
There has recently been interest in slavery from the Ord Touched for more workers.

Infrastructure

It was formerly an artisans barony filled with highly skilled architects and artistic smiths working under the former Ord Touched but, since he disappeared and was replaced by Ivank the town has switched in the last few years to the point that they now EXCLUSIVELY mine for Ruin Ingots and their smiths act as refiners for the ingots to increase trade and match the demand of Peridot for their creation. This has given the village vastly increased wealth in return for them losing any other artistic ability.

Assets

Their mines are deep and filled with amazing minerals and ores but they choose to delve deeper and deeper for ruin ingots instead.
They also have a vast space for farming all around that is tended to exclusively by the Freehouse family.

Guilds and Factions

The Ord Touched primarily controls the town, floating around it is around 4 different bandit camps ready to strike the town soon as they are so low on defences and the people themselves are either too weak or too Crystal addicted to defend themselves.

History

Rhuine Rauta only received its name recently as it was formerly another Barony owned by Ord Touched Carmine Gruff that specialised in weaving metal and minerals into its architecture to make gorgeous filigreed homes and stores. However, when the quantities of ruin ingots in the mine became clear Peridot placed more and more pressure on the town to sell to them which was mostly resisted until Carmine Gruff disappeared in the night. 
Soon after that Peridot introduced Ivank to the fold and he named the town Rhuine Rauta as they were shifted to primarily focus on ruin ingots. This left alot of the training artisans furious and the town emptied of the skilled blacksmiths and instead now employ almost an army of labourers to delve into the mines dangerous conditions.

Architecture

Gorgeous architecture as simple homes exist but have been twisted with metal in the stone (a process only Carmine and her closest apprentices could complete) leaving them shining with flecked veins of jewel, mineral and metal in their very walls and ceilings. In the last 2 years since Ivank took over the houses have not been looked after and have fallen into disrepair whilst more cheap cabins have been erected as bunkhouses for workers and inns for travelers.

Geography

At the base of the mountains and leading into a mine into the mountain range below.

Natural Resources

Shitloads and shitloads and SHITLOADS of ore and mineral in their mines that formerly could be used for a variety of purposes though now most ore is ignored in favour of Ruin Ingots. This has led to an interest in the town from local bandits and other villages who see their resources as useful for weapons and other designs as opposed to ruin ingots.

Unclear due to constant change in workers and mercenary hires... though they are certainly swelling without expanding
