Geology


The Faeng Mountains have a very specific makeup. Most mountains in the range are between 6000-10000 ft tall and this causes the mountain to have a very interesting makeup. Every mountain in the range has a similar mineral makeup. Aside from some miscellaneous ores and minerals spotted throughout the mountains, the Faeng is made up of six primary minerals:

Common Slate



The most common mineral found in the Faeng Mountains in Common Slate. It is used by the stone dwarves for building and crafting of buildings, utensils, clothing, and furniture. It lays in layers and is brittle in small amounts. However, with the ubiquitous nature of the ore, the stone dwarves found many great uses for it. It can be found throughout the first 6000 ft of the mountains. Sometimes the natives call it "sharp rock".

Iron

This is a very common ore throughout Harvaena and can be found throughout the lowest 1500 ft of the Faeng mountains. It's uses are broad and range from tools to weapons to armor.

Common Quartz

From ~1500-3500ft up common quartz is found. It's used for a variety of different things, mostly polished and used for common jewelry.

Rose Quartz

Rose Quartz is the prize jewel of the Rose Army. It's use in the grown of the leader of the Rose Empire helped it reach its iconic level. It's used by many different races for the Faeng due to its durable nature and impressive glow and can be found from ~3500ft to the top of the peaks.

Rose Slate

Rose Slate is one of the most durable and beautiful minerals found in the Faeng. Most commonly used for armor and clothing, Rose Slate, paired with the polished Rose Quartz gems, is the most iconic material found in the Faeng. Among the people of the south, it's a symbol of wealth and status. Due to it's height in the mountains (only ~3500ft and above), its challeneging to haul to civilization and thereby is very expensive.



King Quartz

Often called the "Kings Gem" is one of the more uncommon materials found in the Faeng. Being that it only exists in the peaks of the Faeng (only ~6000ft and higher), it is not only beautiful but very challenging to move or mine. King Quartz is a commodity, even in this era, and is only found among the super wealthy.
