The Silberquel Ridge is a very high[1] mountain range that divides the Marrow Valley from the Pearlbow Wilderness. Directly to its south is the Labenda Swamp.[2]
Silberquel Ridge and surrounding areas.[art 2]
Description[]
From many cities in the Dwendalian Empire, one can see the peaks of the Silberquel Ridge, but its greatest influence on the geopolitics of Wynandir is as an extensive source of gemstones and precious metals. These were used to build the city of Rexxentrum and fund the Empire, [2] as the veins within the mountain rage are the largest source of silver on the continent.
Further into the caves, one can find other metals, as well as pre-Divergence materials and dangerous creatures.[2] It is common for miners and travelers to hire adventurers as guards against these hazards.
The Ridge marks the geological center of the Dwendalian Empire.[3] The industrial town of Hupperdook is built into a ridge on its eastern terminus.[4][5]
Trivia[]
Appropriately for a placed named in the Zemnian language, "silberquell" is German for "silver source".
