Roxsis

__TOC__
:
:Roxis is known for its mining because it's at the base of Drakken Ridge. There are plenty of wonderful mines here you've got some iron, silver, copper bronze, lead, tin, all sorts of wonderful things can be found in Roxsis. It is home to a fairly large population of dwarves mixed with a few humans, a couple of elves, half-elves, some gnomes, and some halflings. It's like a big menagerie of races just living out here in this town. It's a pretty inhospitable place.
:You come across the town, it's kind of small, and then as you get closer you realise it's not a small town, it's literally a "small town". That building which you thought was just like really far away isn't that far away, the roof is only like six feet high.
:The towns is built along the edge of the river which is bit of a canyon. There's a staircase that leads down to a makeshift dock down below. All along the side of the canyon are little lanterns that are hung in various colors, red, blue, yellow, purple, green, all sorts of colors hung on the edge of the the canyon lip, stretching all the way the length of the town. These are warning lights that help the citizen not fall into the canyon at night. It was setup by a travelling wizard (Dave The Enchanter), replacing a series of torches that had been there previously.

==History==
Around the year 500, Vlad Orrmore Led a group of ~1000 dwarves from the Hemdorkas Hills to the Draken Ridge to establish Goldhill, Roxsis, and Drunsbarr. Goal was to settle the mountains, but exact locations weren't established ahead of time. Went via Mahtava. Fought the green dragon there and lost his leg and ~100 of his people. Picked up some human followers, but also fought warlords, in the Vodan Plains. Lost an eye and some fingers here. 
Founded Goldhill with ~400 dwarves and a smattering of humans. They travelled around the Drakken Wastes, picking up more humans/halflings in the Lakonish Highlands. While skirting the Drakken wastes, the crusade wandered in and out of elven territory, skirmishing with the elves there. Vlad Orrmore was killed in one of these skirmishes.
His son, Fernokk, took over and founded Roxsis. Some dwarves wanted to see if there was anything more, and most of the humans and halfling left with them, eventually crossing the Hogwin Plains and settling Drunsbaar. Once the town was settled, some of the dwarves returned to Roxsis.
