Abandoned Amajina Mythril Mine
The discovery of mythril in a small copper mine in Bluefug triggered the Great Rush (also known as the Mad Mythril Rush) which saw would-be prospectors flock to the Sea of Spires in search of quick and easy furtune. The veins that ran through the mountains, however, were not deep, and it was but ten summers before the mines refused to yield the precious metal, forcing many to abandon their claims. Now the shafts serve as hideouts for remnants of the Lambs of Dalamud, a doomsday cult that rose in popularity at the end of the Sixth Astral Era.
Amajina & Son's Mineral Concern
Founded by Mistress Amajina during the Mad Mythril Rush, this bustling mineral concern has become a cornerstone of the mining industry in Thanalan. The company not only controls the main mines but also boasts a formidable standing force of sellswords known as the Stone Torches, ensuring the safety and prosperity of its operations.

Amdapor Keep
Once, the lost civilization of Amdapor thrived in the Twelveswood, her citizens wielders of powerful, yet forbidden magicks which could be used to alter the very fabric of existence. However, as is oft the case with peoples who fancy themselves gods, the self-assuring hubris of the Amdapori eventually became their downfall, and as quickly as they rose to power, did they disappear from the world. For generations, this relic of their once-mighty civilization has remained hidden in plain sight─cloaked by the elementals who sought only to prevent newer generations from stumbling across the ancient Amdapori magicks. That is, until the Lambs of Dalamud─a dark cult who worships the now-fallen lesser moon as a god─dispelled the elementals' glamour by means unknown, and claimed the keep as their own. Now the crazed followers use its ancient chambers to perform blood sacrifices in an effort to resurrect their evil lord.

Aurum Vale
Soon after its discovery, miners from across the realm flocked to the Aurum Vale, driven by rumors that deep within lay endless veins of mythril. What they found instead was gold, but not the sort which would make them rich. Believing the substance precious aurum, miners unknowingly stumbled into deep pools of glowing venom thereafter known as goldbile. Not only did the liquid burn their skin, but the noisome fumes given off by the foul ooze cooked their lungs when inhaled, bringing on a quick, yet excruciating death. These truths, however, have done little to prevent new miners from braving the suffocating shafts, now even more driven to find what those who entered before could not.
Bayside Bevy

Ceruleum is a highly unstable substance and will begin to evaporate when in contact with air, resulting in the bluish haze from which this area earns its name.

Copperbell Mines
Abandoned once purged of ore, Copperbell Mines lay untouched for nigh on three centuries until Amajina & Sons Mineral Concern reclaimed the shafts—the guild's sights set on expanding the mines downward in an attempt to tap yet undiscovered veins of valuable metal. Unfortunately, it was not riches the powder kegs uncovered, but sheer terror, for when the smoke cleared, out poured an army of raging giants from the darkest recesses of the mines. The hecatoncheires—thralls of the lost Thorne Dynasty—were, at last, free from their lightless prison, three hundred years of hate fueling their madness.

When the house's digging uncovered an entrance to the void, allowing an army of voidsent into this realm, however, they immediately abandoned their plans and withdrew from the subterrane, sealing it off so that they might contain the otherworldly invaders within.

From facial creams concocted from rare Coerthan honeys to shampoos derived from the milk of exotic phurbles, her daily ritual of beauty treatments escalated until it was rumored she was bathing in the blood of her virgin maidservants.
