The Mines

Home / Places / The Mines

Deep underneath The Sewers and connected to Torch City by a long, rickety elevator, lie The Mines. Built before the city was even ready, The Mines provide iron and other metals to Torch City. Miners work closely under Technomage supervision, using whatever tech they can get to mine the precious minerals from the rich veins under the city.

Dangers
The Mines are well guarded and have only one point of entry: the deep elevator firmly attached to the lower layers of The Torch. Only specific people can use it and elevator permits expire on a weekly basis. The Mines are a deep, ever-expanding network of barely functional, dimly lit, claustrophobic tunnels and caves. The miners that venture into the deep often lose life or limb in the attempt.

Usage
The Mines have been in full operation since the beginnings of Torch City and although the miners dig ever deeper and deeper, the veins kept strong and true. There is no reason to believe that the veins would ever be exhausted.
