History
Winthrop first started as a humble mining town, its residents mostly families of the miners. They mined primarily shale, but over time discovered silver and gemstones, stripping away the surface in order to reach the ore deposits beneath. As time went on and the land kept providing, the small town slowly began to expand. With more residents, they eventually discovered that some of the materials seemed to have magical properties. With some rudimentary research, it was speculated that the mine laid parallel to a magical ley line. Soon, research was being done on the magical materials- discovering their properties, stability, and uses.
It wasn't long after that news of the town spread, and the population boomed. The name was quickly changed, infrastructure developed seemingly overnight with the intention of creating a new city to act as a magical hub. The now-city and the region around it declared their independence and announced Winthrop their new capital.
