Description: Norgarrum Mining Co. is a company established in a mountain with veins of gold expanding deep into the earth. Now, it accounts for a good potion of the gold for the entire region.
The military is rather simple, being mostly guards and the such, to protect the single city-like place established, and the mines that they control. It holds no ability to invade others, though people have often spoken rumors about their leader, and how things tend to go his way in any negotiations. People also question his religion, as he attends none of the temples and churches established within.
The culture and religion of the area itself is very diverse, anyone accepted as long as they're willing to accept the same, and to work. Hard. Pay is good, considering they literally mine gold, nearly 70% of it now being refined into their own currency and spread among the populace, establishing an economy to import anything needed.
History: The company was established after a large amount of gold ore was discovered in one of the mountains, Cerrox following an expedition into the caves to slay a young dragon, before it grew into something far more powerful. While fighting, a blast of fire melted away some of the stone inside the caves, revealing long stretching veins of beautiful, untapped gold. Clearly, the dragon had sensed the precious metals, arriving because of it.
Regardless, afterward, it was determined by the group consensus that the gold would be sold for the profit of all, along with the great reward for slaying a dragon split between them all, complete with the scales and bones of such a beast. In their sleep, Cerrox slit their throats, one by one, completely out of both greed, and devotion to his own god. She demanded blood, that no action he did could be for anyone but her or himself.
He declared them dead from the battle with the dragon, offering its severed head as proof of his deed. The funds gained from such an event was more than capable of opening up a mine to exploit the great veins of gold. The dragon bones and scales disappeared, and instead, Cerrox was seen with a brand new suit of black armor, along with an extremely well crafted sword at his side, clearly made from a bone from the beast.
Within the past year, adventuring out into an ancient tomb. secrets were discovered. No one knows exactly what he found inside the tomb, but it is known that weeks later, a small group of large golems, melded from stone and enchanted with a magic that feel wrong to anyone well attuned to mana. Very recently, the company has expanded to another mountain, discovered to have veins of iron within, and another mountain is in their sights, on the other side.
Leader: This will be updated in later, a link posted to it once Pyro gets off his ass and posts up his own RP.
Region (Mark an area on the map provided): Economic Stability: Very stable, no sign of decreasing in the foreseeable future.
Economic Basis (What makes your money?): The faction is dependent on mining entirely, the profits from the gold and iron going into importing food and timber. Efforts are being made to establish farms, but for the moment, most of the food is imported.
Other (This would be where you put distinguishing factors.): Possesses the ability to create golems through an unknown means, completely a secret to all but the leader and a very select few individuals. Is not an actual kingdom, but rather a faction intended to mine and create a profit instead. Their leader is often away on some adventure or other business, someone left in charge in the event that leadership is needed immediately.
