As the largest mining operation and most profitable ore export point in Salem, this ravine is constantly under heavy protection by armed guards and skilled mages. Train and mine cart tracks tangle across the surface and along the ravine walls, while mining tunnels stretch far and deep beneath the mountains.

Should you be adventuring midway up the mountains and stumble across a rolled-up rope bridge nestled in a crevice or a retracted platform pulled back flush against the mountain's face, you may have just stumbled into the town of the Iron Bluffs. The people here usually live hidden in metal-walled tunnels within the mountains, but crafted mechanical contraptions which can unfold in times of low danger transform their living space into a sprawling cliffside town. Being so far from the major cities of Salem, laws are not enforced here, and it is a known den of bandits and airship pirates.
