Middle Town
Middle Town - Map: O22
Copper ore vein, tin ore vein, iron ore vein, pure silver vein (2000sp/week/miner, no smelting needed)
In the first days of expansion from the Capital Cites, hill dwarves in service of the Three Kings of the Dwarves began exploring the Jojojopo Peninsula. On the site of Middle Town, they found a vein of pure metallic silver, along with useful ores, in the cliffs along the Dargonesti Sound. While the terrain is not suitable for deep diggings, they have built into the cliffs, and expanded steadily ever since. They now have a fair sized trade port, in an excellent location, along with an open air market atop the cliffs.
It is primarily a Krynnic settlement, and includes a Temple of the Church of Reorx.
Much of the Free Imperia's coinage is minted from the silver mined here. They have exceptionally fruitful plum orchards, from which they distill potent spirits, and do excellent casting work in bronze and iron, supplying everything from statuary to buckles to markets across the Empire. They also grow peppercorns of high quality, and have herds of native large-horned goats that move easily up and down the cliffsides.
While most dock-work is contracted out, they do have some ship repair facilities. They also have significant acreage of hemp fiber and the largest ropeworks in the Free Imperia. They are the primary cordage supplier to the Imperial Navy and WATC.
