Henge Keep

With the small mines that provided the ores to make metals depleting, it was decided to found another keep with a dedicated mining focus. The mountains within the kingdom were scoured for a good mine location, and eventually a location in the South-Western foothills of the Yeheshua Mountains was found that had a number of veins of suitable ores. Henge Keep itself was positioned above the Western cliffs, overlooking Crystal Reach Island, in the mouth of the valley entrance to the mines, to guard the resources in case of invasion and provide a base for the refinement process.

The records of the original founder and name of the keep has been lost to time, and the year is only known because the three mines had the years they were first opened carved into their lintel-stones, and it is known that the keep was founded the same year as the first mine. The name Henge, however, came about because of a technique that the mages of the keep came up with to refine and purify the ores, and as the process became linked to the keep, so too did the name.
