- Gold Ore, quality 7 (400gp/miner/week).  

The lookout mountain, furthest down the [[tri_king_peninsula|Tri-King Peninsula]] of any of the Dwarven outposts, DK#4 is blessed by small but secure harbors on both sides of the [[tri_king_mountains|Tri-King Mountains]].  

It is also the best gold mine of the [[three_kings_of_the_dwarves|Three Kings]]' mansions.  The gold for the three crowns on Arda of the Harnic, Krynnic, and Faerun dwarves was mined and smelted here, and the fires from the ongoing smelting are visible far out at sea, warning shipping to detour south around Tri-King point until they see the lighthouse at [[in21|IN#21]]. 

Considered too divisive if held by one of the three Dwarven Nations, it has a population from all.  It includes temples of

        * [[church_of_eru|Church of Eru Ilùvatar]]
        * [[church_of_moradin|Church of Moradin]]
        * [[church_of_dumathoin|Church of Dumathoin]]
        * [[church_of_gorm|Church of Gorm]] 
        * [[church_of_reorx|Church of Reorx]]

The squadrons from [[in21|IN#21]], [[in16|IN#16]], and [[in17|IN#17]] join in protective escort maneuvers when the bullion is shipped up the [[firth_of_durin|Firth of Durin]]. 

Much of the food and drink for DK#4 is imported, though several species of tasty crab are common on the rocky shores, and goats, sheep, and pigs are herded along the [[tri_king_peninsula|Tri-King Peninsula]].  Appropriately for a gold mine, it is well fortified, and maintains a large fighting complement.
