The Elder Scrolls: Tamriel

Just beyond the tents of Darkwater Crossing, nestled into the rocky slopes of Eastmarch, lies Goldenrock Mine—a modest but active corundum mine that sustains the small settlement. Operated by the villagers themselves, the mine’s entrance is framed by wooden supports and tools scattered about, a sign of hard but honest labor. Inside, the mine is narrow and simply constructed, with lantern-lit tunnels and ore veins lining the walls. It’s managed by Verner Rock-Chucker and worked by a handful of resilient miners, including his adventurous wife, Annekke Crag-Jumper. Though the mine is relatively safe, the occasional cave-in or wild animal intrusion keeps the workers wary. Goldenrock Mine may be small, but it represents the backbone of Darkwater Crossing—a place where sweat and grit fuel survival, and where the earth gives just enough to those willing to chip away at its secrets.
