Kobbersink

Kobbersink is a fictional town in the borderlands of the realm of Valestria, often cited in fantasy literature as a center of copper production and metalworking. The name combines elements meaning copper and sink or valley, reflecting its location in a copper-rich basin.

Geography and setting: Kobbersink lies at the confluence of the Silverrun river and a network of small streams in a hilly, forested region. The surrounding terrain fosters terraced workshops and open-air furnaces near the town center, with ore-rich hills rising to the east.

History: The town emerged in the late medieval period after copper veins were discovered in the hills. It grew under organized guilds, notably the Copper Guild and the Foundry, and prospered through smelting, coinage, and metal fittings exported to neighboring regions.

Economy and culture: Modern Kobbersink centers on metalworking, educational workshops, and heritage tourism. The annual Copper Night festival features inlay demonstrations, restored furnace tours, and performances that highlight local crafts. The town preserves multi-era workshops and a small museum devoted to copper technology.

Notable features: The Copper Exchange building, the Foundry Row, and the nearby Kobbersink Mine are frequently visited by travelers. A suspension footbridge over the Silverrun connects the old town area with newer crafts quarters.

In fiction and media: Kobbersink appears in several fantasy novels and role-playing game supplements as a hub of artisans and a gateway to copper-rich highlands.
