The Cursed Blue Rose
Of the mining settlements scattered through the temperate desert at the continent's centre, Brunthar is the one that outgrew the pit. It began in the third wave of expansion as diggings like any other, and it still digs — but ore now arrives from beyond its own shafts to be smelted, forged and sold on, and the yards where it is weighed and loaded are as busy as the workings themselves. Mining, industry and trade run together here in a way the smaller desert towns cannot manage. Fuel, fodder and grain come in over long dry roads; metal, tools and finished work go out along the same tracks.
The Brunnic are Lohanar, and their city is a chief place: an allegiance is named for Brunthar, and lesser settlements answer to it. The Flammund rule here; beyond them the city stands within the wider bloc of the Creed, whose religion it keeps — the Infernal Creed, hierarchical and unsparing. Standing in Brunthar is read off the same ledgers as output, and the men who move the most metal sit nearest the top of them.
