The discovery of the Kryxivia mine changed everything. Inside lay the remnants of an ancient civilization and with them the magical gems that civilization had created: Kryxit. The resource is extraordinarily powerful, and every major empire on the continent immediately dispatched mercenaries to secure as much of it as possible. A city grew up around the mine entrance — named Kryxivia after the discovery itself — drawing in mercenaries, merchants, traders, and adventurers from everywhere. Three major factions contest control of the Kryxit supply, and the only reason their conflict has not exploded into open war is that war would disrupt the extraction. The tension is constant. The mine appears endless. The creatures protecting it from within are very real.
