Many mining guilds have set up operations in Lakeend, and the town acts as a hub for their operations. The mining guilds that operate in Lakeend are renowned for their expertise in mining and metalworking. They have honed their craft over generations and have perfected the art of extracting ore from the Silverfields. The guilds are known to be fiercely independent and often compete with one another for the best mining sites.
Despite its small size, Lakeend is a bustling town, with a constant stream of wagons and carts moving in and out of the town, transporting ore to the city of Moor. The town is also home to a thriving community of craftsmen who work with the ore extracted from the Silverfields.

The town is governed by a council of mining guild leaders who make decisions on behalf of the town.
