VH/Eisen

Eisen, the Mine City, is a city built high atop and into the side of a mountain. It is run by the Blacksmith Guild, who control the entire town with an iron fist, employing their own militia to enforce order in what is effectively their company town. Not only does the town have many skilled blacksmiths who are able to make conventional weapons and armors, but the guild also has a magical research division, with witches and alchemists who are able to imbue the already high–quality equipment with magic to make them even more effective. Without a doubt, Eisen is a must–visit stop for buying some advanced equipment and crafting legendary gear.

Directions

Eisen lies northwest of the Mountain Brothel and Surglane Village. The directions start off the same as to go to the brothel.

Exit Hot Springs Town from the North Gate, and head directly north until you reach the Road to the Frontier. Head one screen north so that you are in Plateau of Zephyr 1. Head to the northeast corner of the screen, and exit Plateau of Zephyr 1 to the north, which will take you to Plateau of Zephyr 2. (If you exit Plateau of Zephyr 1 to the east, you will end up at Plateau of Zephyr 4, which is incorrect, and will lead you to Surglane Village.) Then head directly north until you reach Plateau of Zephyr 6. On this screen, exit centrally north, and you will arrive at Eisen Mountain. If you exit too much to the northeast, you will end up at the Mountain Brothel.

Notable Places

When you first enter Eisen, you start at the Eisen Mine entrance. You can freely walk around the entrance area and the lowest part of the residential area, but to get to Eisen proper, you need to go through the Checkpoint. However, no matter what you try to do, the guards won't let you pass. If only there was some way to come up with a "legitimate" reason why you should be allowed to pass....

	Eisen Central Area
	Pub There's a blonde–haired girl who looks suspiciously like Serena sitting in a corner, complaining about all of the lecherous men in the town. Items & Equipment Shop The counter is manned by an unmotivated clerk This shop sells Work Gloves, which are pretty much useless as a weapon, but is a nice touch... it gives a sense that developers who have contributed little details to the game over the years have helped make it a surprisingly deep game, content–wise.

Miners' Residential District	Eisen Mine	Eisen Residential District	Blacksmith Street
Many miners' living quarters are here, carved directly into the sides of the mountain. The Pub Under the Mine	Blacksmith Guild Headquarters	Ore Exchange Point One of the women behind the counter (the one on the left) will buy your ore minerals for money. Another woman behind the counter (the one on the right) will identify your Shiny Gemstones. (Basically this converts them into other minerals.) Eisen Excavation Site 2 This relatively small underground passageway also contains spawn points for various minerals, and some of the spawn points even seem to drop some materials that aren't dropped by any of the spawn points in the other larger Underground Passageway. This passageway leads to a cavern in the the side of the mountain with some strange, phallic–looking stone carvings at the entrance....	Adventurer's Guild If you are playing the game with Debug Mode turned on, the lower–left corner of the guild hall will have a staircase that takes you to the Debug Room.
