Posted on February 15, 2025 in Steel-Realms
Caenan’s Mine is part of the abandoned area of The Maithen Plateau. It is a Kaolin mine used for healing properties and ceramics, it was a small load and the easily accessed materials were played out within a few hundred years. There was enough so that locals still delved into it to make local pottery. Here there is actually two mines, one was producing the kaolin and the other, still productive, coal.
