Sword Coast

These mines are known for their production of iron, gems, and precious metals, by the people of Naskel, which are then processed in the town of Crimmor before being shipped to Athkatla and beyond. The Nashkel Mines have a significant history, as they were once contaminated by a Cyric cleric, which led to the Iron Crisis that affected the Sword Coast.

A sprawling network of tunnels and shafts dug deep into the northern slopes of the Cloud Peaks. The entrance is a fortified structure, reflecting its importance and the need for protection due to the valuable resources extracted from within. Inside, the mines is a labyrinth of passages, supported by wooden beams, with the walls reflecting the glint of various ores and minerals. The air is thick with dust and the sound of pickaxes striking rock echo through the tunnels. The mines are bustling with miners, carts filled with ore, guards from Amn, and the constant activity associated with a productive mining operation.
