Priabone

Feel free to reference or use this location in your lore, but please don't edit this page. Thank you!Priabone is a mining community that settled on Dragonhome's northern coast, to the west of Cairnstone, due to deposits of rare gemstones. 
Unlike most of Dragonhome, which is run by ore and oil, residents work with minerals and gems. Most are miners or specialists and their families, though there are a handful of artisans and merchants. Priabone is far enough from the sea not to be coastal, but there's talk of expanding the town to create a northern port.

====Earthen Landscape====
It's a common thought that all of Dragonhome is a desert of barren rock, broken only by stony mountains. For some areas, this is accurate; the Shattered Plain is essentially this rocky desert, and Greatwyrm's Breach has life that is few and far between. However, there are very productive areas (for Dragonhome, at least). Savannahs are common in the south, and some of the coasts are home to prairies and grasslands where many unique species live.
Dragonhome is quite a different desert than the Scarred Wasteland or the Shifting Expanse. For one, the Wasteland is hardly a desert; discounting the land itself, few things are alive there, but it is not arid. The Shifting Expanse is only semi-arid, with an entirely different geological makeup than Dragonhome. The most stark difference to the layman is that the Expanse has many areas of sand, whereas Dragonhome, even on its flat plains, is harder rock due to the elemental Earth magic saturating the region. This is why the Expanse has more plant life as well.
However, that isn't to say that Dragonhome is too harsh for plants. Many species are adapted or even magically enhanced to better grip the rock and find moisture. All wildlife in Dragonhome is highly specialized and, as such, very unique. The frequency of mountain ranges and canyons means that many of these species live in a highly specific area even inside of Dragonhome.
The region's interior is mostly dry and flat, but the edges have an abundance of unique ecosystems. The south is home to monsoon savannahs, the west to semi-arid canyonlands, the north to coastal prairies and alpine areas, and the east to the most lush portion of Dragonhome, which can even support some forests. The region is not useless, or standard in any way; Dragonhome is not barren nor basic. It is unique, just as every other region in Sornieth.
