Description and Atmosphere:
A sleepy fishing town forever stuck in the shadow of its neighbor, the Merk Stone Mine.
The mine is a gash in the earth, filled with Merk ore and whispers of darkness. The Iskristy prospectors have been claiming it's haunted by the spirits of miners trapped by greed, while others speak of an even deeper, older evil, stirring in the depths.

Culture:
Varash is caught between its sleepy past and an uncertain future: As more and more prospectors from Iskristy are filling this sleepy town with the promises of fortunes (or perhaps disaster), some of the locals are beginning to show signs of resistance to the way their once peaceful fishing town has been changing.
