Quarrelshigh

Quarrelshigh is a canonical Settlement / Crossroads Town located in the Sunset Vale & Western Frontier, prominently surveyed on the regional map spanning From Sunset to Sembia.

Overview & Canon History

This fortified gnomish village has been in existence since at least 870 DR, and probably long before. Its primary industry is mining rich veins of mithral and diamond deposits. Quarrelshigh sits between three high peaks and is protected all around by a deep ravine. It has extremely strong defenses that have never been breached. Every tunnel is set with deadly traps, and some tunnels are decoys filled with nothing but traps. These defenses are tested every summer by trolls and ogres from deeper in the mountains. Only a resident of Quarrelshigh can guide a visitor in or out of the village safely.
