and fortified town where some have come to settle after joining the

eye on their activities and Dominus patrols do come through despite the
lack of trouble. The town sits upon a large silver deposit which has
made outside miners interested to set up business in town however Isenburg Hauser have yet allowed anyone to do so. Only trusted locals are mining the silver in order to keep Northgate running smoothly.
