There are four mines in the jungle run by the The Walraven Consortium and protected by either the Ithosian Talons or the Immortals of Karsis.  

General Mine Composition

Over 1,000 people work in each mine, so a small town surrounds each mine, with a sharpened bamboo fence line with a trench. There are three shifts of 12 person mercenary squads at the camp, so 72 mercenaries total, two thirds of which can spring into action, if there's a problem. It's likely a third are guarding a shipment or back in the city.

Crimson Fang Ruby Mine

Heaven’s Anvil Diamond Mine

Emerald Cradle Mine

M3. Azure Abyss (Sapphire)

• Guard Unit: Ithosian Talons
• Captain: Captain Lysandra "Steelbloom" Thorne, an elf with a striking presence and a tactical mind. She is both feared and respected, known for her quick decisions and unyielding nature in combat.
• Problem: Pterafolk Attacks - The mine has been under siege by Pterafolk, flying predators that swoop down to snatch workers or drop rocks from above. Their nests are high in the cliffs, making them difficult to eradicate, and several aerial skirmishes have cost lives.

These settlements are heavily fortified and protected by their respective mercenary forces, but the challenges they face are significant, keeping the security forces on constant high alert.
