Penumbra

Penumbra is the darkest island. Sometimes dubbed the Shadowlands, Penumbra is located directly under Solae. The island is covered in perpetual shadow, making sure nothing lives on the surface. Beneath the surface, however, is a completely different story.

The ground of Penumbra is filled with rich veins and pockets of crystals. Aside from that it also hosts a selection of dangerous creatures. These creatures formed AGS, with the help of magic they adapted to their new environment.

While there is no real government on Penumbra, the larger mining guilds do employ mercenary guardsmen to keep the order. The mining guilds own the island. The fluctuation of profits dictates whichever guild runs the island at that moment.

The Mines
There are five main mines on Penumbra, all ruled by different guilds with different rules.

The primary Iron mine, called the Vein, has most of the working population of the Island managing and mining it.

The primary Coal mine, called the Ash, is the second largest.

The primary precious metals mine, called the Glimmer, is the third largest mine.

The primary gemstones and crystals mine, called the Luminous, is the smallest main vein available.

People that are born in these regions often take the name of said region as last name, indicating some form of loyalty to their profession. The ones from the Vein for example, are often blacksmiths. Masters at the metal forge.
