The Widow's Veil Peaks

From the Great Library of New Targonor

Bordinar's Cleft, the rocky mountain home of the dwarves, is home to many of the most precious ores on Thestra. Mining teams of all races can always be found excavating the surrounding area, hoping to strike a vein. 1

The mining teams dig in the Widow's Veil at the good graces of the dwarves. They claim it to be a mutually beneficial relationship as they are able to sell supplies to the visiting workers. Many have found it peculiar though, how nobody but the dwarves seem to ever be able to find the large deposits.2

The mines in the Widow's Veil, while having the potential to be very rewarding, are also wrought with danger. Many of the region's natural inhabitants do not take kindly to strangers tunneling into their homes. Some of the more intelligent have been known to launch pre-emptive ambushes on mining parties before they even begin work.3

Few places in the known lands contain such a bountiful supply of ore and stone as do the Widow's Veil Peaks. Construction of Bordinar's Cleft, Rindol Field and even Tursh all relied at least in part, on stone quarried in the Widow's Veil.4

When the Halflings called upon their dwarven neighbors to save their fields from flooding, the resulting construction project was a massive undertaking for which generations of Halflings would be indebted. The stone used in the dam was quarried almost entirely in the Widow's Veil.5
