Runmere and the Greyspine

Runmere and the Greyspine

A region of the Saltmarch · Foes from level 1 to 28

Runmere is a river village under House Marlowe's inland castle, known for its mills, its smithy and its inn. Stone Mountain rises to the south of it, and the Blackthorn Wood lies close by.

North of the valley the Greyspine hills climb towards the sea, with the logging village of Rushford, the mining village of Copperhollow and the Quarriers' and Forgers' Guild. Here is where ore is dug, smelted and forged, and where much of the coast's timber comes from.

The hills have giants on them, and the ground has more holes in it than the maps admit.
