History

Founded about thirty turns after the Ninth Pass ended, the Miner Hall was set up to take advantage of the major lodes of ore in the surrounding mountains. About fifteen turns later, the Hall was approached about building a new Hold, Garnet Valley. The Hallmaster was reluctant to comply, since the miners had just hit a mother lode of valuable ore. When a deal was struck that the Miners could keep whatever valuable ore and gems they found while digging out the Hold, the Hallmaster relented.

Approximately thirty-six turns after Garnet Valley Hold was established, the Smithcraft Hall was founded within a short walking distance. With their close proximity, the Halls were able to reach trading agreements fairly quickly.

The two crafts worked closely together from the beginning, and it is not uncommon to see Miners at the Smith Hall or Smiths at the Miner Hall on a daily basis. As part of their cooperation, a small Healer station was created at Miner Hall to provide for the needs of both Halls.

Location

The Main Hall is located slightly away from the mountains. The first Hallmaster thought this to be the best location because of the possibility of earthquakes. Subsequent buildings have been situated closer to the mountains, but only after careful surveys were conducted.
