Redwall

Redwall was a small, but prosperous mining settlement eking a precarious living on the very edge of civilisation. Outside of the protection of Corton and the fortified Giant's Stride, surrounded by marauding bands of hobgoblins and worse, the risk was great. However the reward was just as great, for Redwall was built around a rich seam of the rare metal known as blood iron. The town prospered for many years, using the wealth that it gained from the blood iron to hire mercenaries to protect its walls.

When Khazghuul the Cruel united the Hobgoblin tribes and lead them against the lands of Amentir, Redwall and its mines were one of the first settlements to be attacked. The inhabitants put up a brave defence, but eventually the town fell. Some of the citizens escaped into the hills, many perished in the conflict and yet more were enslaved by the hobgoblins and forced to work in the mines.

When the hobgoblin army was defeated and scattered, the town lay broken and empty, the once rich seams of blood iron all but exhausted. And so it still remains.
