Fystone

A small mining town in the southern mountains, in eastern Iquai, near The Valley. The mine is owned by Brian Lane, an upper-middle-class man who inherited the mine from his father. He and his family run the town and treat the miners more like serfs. Many people in the town are poor and illiterate, and the Rorgh happily oppress them. The Lane family is ignored by them primarily due to their eagerness to enable the police in keeping down the peasants.

Inhabitants
The town is inhabited by poor miners, farmers, orcs, and dwarves.

Brian Lane
The owner of the mine and the great-uncle of Oren. An older man who runs his business and lives an aloof and privileged life.

Ezra
A brewer who employs several dwarves and makes a decent living producing ale. He is married and has three children.

Aimee Lane
Oren's sister and the wife of a local farmer. She has several children.

Landmarks
The town is made up of a large shanty-town style settlement where the miners live. There are orchards surrounding the town in the hills, and fisheries on the lake. A gated part of town holds most of the wealthier residents and the businesses they use.

The Mine
The Lane Family iron mine is the main reason the town exists as more than a trading post. It is very productive for its size and keeps the family well off, though they're hardly a threat to the true upper-class of Iquai.

Prison
A series of small individual cells just inside the vast desert known as The Valley. Each has a small well and shelter from the sun and rain. Prisoners are locked in a cell for days, weeks, or even a month. Rarely is a longer sentence needed. Being left with enough food to keep them alive, they suffer alone and almost always come back raving about ghosts and other spirits. Most consider these creatures to be myths, though nobody ever goes to The Valley willingly at night to find out. There is very low recidivism in the area.
