Rumnaheim Cleft

Originally founded as a Dwarven trading outpost the town sits at the head of a small valley in the Alavor mountains on the continent of Karamway. The steep valley behind the town is home to numerous mines that have been in operation for several ages.

Black Square
The town's central square, so called for the black obsidian pavers that cover the area. The square is actually an elongated hexagon more closely resembling a rectangle but the town's magistrate prefer to use the designation "square."

Local lore suggests the square gained its moniker as the result of curse laid upon the town following the particularly gruesome execution of a local wise woman. The morning following the execution black clouds covered the sky seeming to keep the sun from rising and a pestilence which turned victims skin black as it peeled off. After a particularly lethal start, killing approximately one quarter of the population in the span of one week, the plague continued to periodically sweep through the community for six more years. It wasn't until a travelling scholar recommended the square be regraded and paved that plague ceased and the area gained its famous black pavers.

Rumnaheim Keep
During The Dragon Civil War forces loyal to Mora Regent constructed a keep to defend the town and trading infrastructure from enemy forces and marauding bandits.

It was later destroyed, historical records dictate by a group of unknown adventurers.

The ruins remain with untold depths that connect with the Dwarven mines in the hills surrounding the community. It has been rumored that the keep was constructed above a satellite research facility of the Kirk-Hill Institute that was still active at the time of the keep's destruction. It is plausible that a destabilization of an ongoing experiment may have contributed to the destruction of the keep above.
