Crosswych (Online)

For other uses, see Crosswych.

Crosswych is a relatively isolated mountain town in the north eastern part of Glenumbra, High Rock, east of the Cryptwatch Fort. It is situated on the very border with the region of Stormhaven. The town is mostly populated by miners.

Sometime in the First Era, a rich iron vein was discovered by Pinifred Lode-Finger in the nearby mountains and a mine was created. The town was founded for the miners.^[1]

During the Interregnum, the town was managed by a beloved mayor, Heseph.^[2][3] However, a group of bandits by the name of the Red Rooks used the chaos caused by the Bloodthorn Cult and Faolchu to seize control of the isolated and unprotected Crosswych.^[4] The Red Rooks murdered the previous mayor and took over the mining operations, using the mine as a prison, and prisoners as slave labor. The Rooks' leader, Sternis Gelves, had hoped to keep the town open to travelers in the hopes of more income and taxation.^[5]

A local resistance organized by the Vestige and Tamien Sellan succeed in restoring order and chasing the Red Rooks out of the town.^[6] After the uprising, a previous councilor and a member of the resistance, Lia, steps up and offers herself as a candidate for mayor.^[2] For the future security of the town, the Daggerfall Covenant and Fighters Guild both establish a local presence. Additionally Crosswych establishes contact with the Lion Guard.
