Glimmerpeak was founded 113 years ago as a mining town. The mountain peaks the town was named after were so filled with minerals that they glimmered at dawn and dusk.
With the riches found in the mountains surrounding Glimmerpeak and six trade routes converging there, the town, while small, has enough trade to consider itself an independent city-state.
15 years after the town of Glimmerpeak was first built, tragedies started striking what locals call "the historic mines" and unfortunately, many lives were lost. The historic mines are maintained in their current state to preserve their memories. The tragedies struck in only one area of the mine, and stopped when that shaft was closed.
