"A finger hold of order on a cliff of chaos." - Sigrun Whitehall, Owner of the Bob and Weave Taphouse
The small town of Amrun is the only city found on the continent of Ardurach. Founded by the Ashengull Mining Company in the year 654, it has grown from a fortified encampment to a sizable port. Home to the now famous World's End Tavern, Amrun is often called "The City on the Edge" or, more simply "The Edge."

"The mine is the heart of Amrun. Without the mine, there would be no feygold. Without feygold, there would be no town." - Wittan Olen, Foreman of the Mining Camp
Located about ten miles south of Amrun, in the Feygold Hills, the Ashengull Mine and associated camp is a sizable operation. With five to six hundred miners working at any time, and with a force of two hundred armed guards, the mine is akin to a small war camp. A wooden palisade surrounds the embankment on which the camp sits, overlooking the valley of Amrun some four or five hundred feet below, as well as the city itself nestled around the bay. A tall watchtower can send and receive messages from the city by lighting a series of fires, during the night.

"You would be well to stay away from there. The living stone still keeps memory of the elves of old, and it is jealous of its secrets." - The Wizard Tauster
Built ages ago in the age of the Empire of Velia, these elven ruins can been reached by traveling into the Feygold Hills, just to the south-east of the city of Amrun. Broken and cracked stone columns support a collapsed stone pavilion, while a bubbling pool sends water flowing swiftly beside. A ruined structure stands behind, empty and silent. The air is peaceful and calm here, but there is a tension as well, as if a deep breath before a plunge into icy cold water.

"Why do they call it that? Well, the sun glints off the snow in a strange way. Makes it look red and yellow, like a fire. I'm not sure why..." - Ava Greest, Ashengull Mine Taskmaster
The Fireforge is the highest peak in the Godspeak Mountains. Despite what its name might imply, it is not an active volcano, although hunters in the Coast March, the plain to the southwest of Amrun, have claimed to see smoke rising from it on clear days. These rumors of smoke have led locals to speculate that someone, or something, lives on the mountainside. Giants are the number one suspect, but others claim that an offshoot of dwarves lives under the mountain, crafting artifacts of immense power. Where these rumors came from is unknown, but the word does seem to have the belief of the locals at least.
