"Welcome to Quickstone, my new friend—the edge of the world as we know it. Let’s see if I can guess your trade. You’re no quickstone miner; you don’t have the build of someone who spends their days scooping stone out of the mountain. And you don’t strike me as a tradesman who’s looking to set up shop in our lovely town. With that blade at your side, you might be guarding one of the Graywall caravans. But something tells me you’re the kind of person who would appreciate an interesting opportunity… - Brogan Hul, owner of the Crown

Description

Quickstone lies within the foothills of the Graywall mountains, right on the edge of what is commonly accepted as the border of Breland and Droaam. It was originally driven by the mining of quickstone, a magically mutable form of stone.

Origin

Quickstone was established by miners and adherents of the Three Faces of Coin cult, but in 996 YK Count Thavius ir’Blis granted claims around Quickstone to veteran soldiers who’d served him during the Last War, while also settling a group of Cyran refugees in the region. Both of these groups largely dwell in temporary shelters outside of town while they wait for more permanent residences to become available. A third group recently joined this
tent community—a group of Khaar’paal kobolds, who are using their sorcerous talents to help Orien expand the lightning rail toward Droaam. There are tensions between all three of these groups… and the smugglers and miners who first founded the town aren’t thrilled
about the expanding presence of the dragonmarked houses or Count ir’Blis and Brelish law.
