Deepspike Mine
When former political allies in the Free City grew uncomfortable with their relationship with Balabar Smenk, they contrived to grant him the near-worthless deed to this failing mine, necessitating that he leave the capital to personally see to his affairs. Smenk swiftly squeezed the last ore from the mine and used the profits thus generated to consolidate his power in Diamond Lake by forcing other mine managers out of business, some say by blackmail, and pressing his embarrassed friends in the Free City's government to re-assign the deeds of the failing operations to him.
