Tabletop games

Fictional mines, commodities and disasters whose setting began in tabletop games, grouped by setting. Each record is researched and structured like its real counterpart and sourced to canon; see the Fictional section for what that means. The full lists across every medium are Mines, Commodities and Disasters.

Mines (4)

Dungeons & Dragons

• Mithral Hall
  The mine's own name has outlasted at least one dwarf who was believed to have died reclaiming it -- an apparent sacrifice that turned out, as these stories go, not to be quite the end of his story.
• Nashkel Mines
  The first real dungeon of Baldur's Gate, where poisoned iron and a cleric posing as a kobold god start the Iron Crisis.
• Wave Echo Cave
  A mine that was worth killing over twice, five hundred years apart, for exactly the same reason both times.

Warhammer Fantasy

• Zhufbar
  An entire Dwarf hold rebuilt by its own engineers into a water-powered industrial city, proudest of the mine-draining pumps invented there and exported across the dwarf realms.

Commodities (0)

No commodities yet.

Disasters (1)

Dungeons & Dragons

• The Fall of the Phandelver's Pact (More than 500 years before the adventure's present)
  A battle nobody won closed the mine as effectively as any collapse could have — and left something behind that made sure it stayed closed for five hundred years.
