Tibeth

Tibeth is a small village near the southern edge of the Shire.

Founded by settlers from the Solurian Empire, Tibeth is a vibrant community that enters around the export of iron ore and ingots. As such, Tibeth is home to two blacksmiths and a smelter, as well as a small fort on the southern edge of the island. A dock surrounds the isle, and can lead to one of the two libraries, the butchery, or the small system of walkways above the central farms. There is also a small underground hot spring available, for a price, if travelers or residents seek comforting relief from their day-to-day activities.

Tibeth Iron Mine

The Tibeth Iron Mine was started when settlers discovered a vein of iron just under the surface, and has been mined until the current day. While not a large source of iron exportation, the Tibeth Iron Mine has been a stable source of iron for investors and buyers in the market.

However, following the excavation of an iron vein, miners broke through a thin layer of ore into a large cavern below. Unfortunately, one miner died in this event, and this has halted further mining until an expeditionary group can determine if the cavern extends below the rest of the mine. This has heavily affected the trade of Tibeth, and a merchant ship has anchored offshore to collect the remaining iron and drop off members of the expeditionary force.

The remains of the miner can be seen below, though none know how his body was stripped to the bones.
