Underpath

The Underpath is a goblin-controlled “abandoned” mine shaft that threads beneath the eastern ridge of Nawadzi Valley. The Eastern Sierras are studded with genuinely abandoned silver and tungsten mines from the 19th and 20th centuries, and the goblin clans use a handful of them as surface cover for their own, still-active workings. The Underpath is one such operation: officially a dead shaft collapsed in 1889, actually a maintained tunnel with a small, courteous, and well-armed toll house at either end.
