Blackridge Camp

A mining settlement clinging to the charred slopes where obsidian deposits run thick. Blackridge supplies raw material to Black Hammer Forge and trades cutting tools with Rookforge. Life here is hard — the air smells of sulfur and the ground trembles weekly. Within the Ashen Spine, this site is part of the long chain of forge-towns, quarries, and iron-vein settlements that work the world's oldest forges from Ironmark down to Old Varr. The smoke is the climate. The Fray here is physical — cracks open in the rock, tunnels appear that were not there the day before — and the Cleaved is the regional consequence. Forge guilds keep their own records, and they keep them close.
