Whitecrest

Whitecrest is a fictional settlement located in the region of Eldoria. It is situated on the northern slopes of the Azure Peaks, a mountain range known for its distinctive blue-tinted rock formations. The settlement's name is derived from the perpetual snow that caps the highest elevations surrounding it, creating a "white crest" visible from afar.

The primary industry in Whitecrest is mining, with local deposits rich in mithril and various gemstones. This economic focus has shaped the settlement's architecture, which often features sturdy stone buildings designed to withstand the harsh mountain climate and accommodate mining operations. The population is composed mainly of dwarves and humans, who have coexisted and collaborated for generations.

Whitecrest is known for its skilled artisans, particularly in metalworking and jewelry crafting, who utilize the locally sourced materials. The settlement is a relatively isolated community, with the most common access routes being treacherous mountain passes. Despite its remote location, Whitecrest maintains trade relations with other settlements in Eldoria, primarily through merchant caravans that brave the journey during the warmer months. The local culture emphasizes resilience, community, and a deep respect for the natural environment.
