These rocky islands seem desolate, save for a few small villages, sheep farms, and port cities barely big enough to be considered cities. Below ground, however, large communities and vast mine networks exist. Ruled by an ancient dwarven family, this chain of islands has maintained its autonomy and fiercely defends its rich resources.

Game Master Notes:
Bellow ground these islands are a maze of tunnels and caverns. Some areas are ancient and have not been accessed for a long time allowing for some interesting encounter options.
Traps are common to prevent thieves, and most entrances to the mines are fortified against enemy invasion.
Isles of Atkin
Principle city: Smallford
Government: Monarchy
Resources: Gemstones, Precious Metal, Ore, Weapons, Armor, Jewelry, wool
Long lines of family rule have led to internal power struggles. Other nations have tried to lay claim to these islands and their resources, but physically taking control has never been possible.
Smallford
Smallford is the largest city and the main port for all of the islands. It is one big market. The outer market deals mainly in wool and textiles. The inner market is where you will find finely made weapons and jewelry.
Mines of Atkin
These islands are the largest source of ore, gems, and precious metals. Immense forges are continuously operating and are supplied by extensive mines that extend to unknown depths below the ocean.
