Great Mine of Briante
Overview
The Great Mine of Briante is located in Briante in the Freeborn territory of Kahraman. Custodianship of the Great Mine grants an Imperial title; a seat on the Imperial Bourse; and a seasonal bounty of valuable mithril.
The Resource
At the heart of the mining settlement of Briante is the great mine that shares its name. Perhaps the deepest mine in the Empire, it has been dug deeper and deeper over the centuries to excavate the precious mithril that is found deep underground.
- Reference Damatian Cliffs
Whilst the Damation Cliffs are possibly the most secure (in terms of numbers of fortifications) in the Empire, the Great Mine is most likely the most perilous. It is a great shaft, cut almost vertically into the ground, on the walls of which can be seen dozens of miners. Miners who are free-climbing, without need of safety ropes or nets, and seemingly completely oblivious to the fatal nature of any slip or fall.
