Highforge is a mining Community of Gnomes and Dwarves situated in upper-middle Karameikos. It is the central hub for Mining of Silver (which is shipped refined to Threshold for minting into coins). The mine from which this silver is extracted is known as the Beldanan Mines. These mines are an extensive mine network extending north from Highforge beneath the Atlan Tepes mountains. Unfortunately they are an unending maze of tunnels because about a hundred years ago a gnomish inventor created the brickmac (An automated mining machine which cuts its own tunnels and converts the material into bricks to place about the tunnel. There was an accident in which the machine was left to run (pretty much forever) and as a consequence it vanished into its self excavated miles long mineworkings...never to be heard from again.
