of influence in Cygnar connected to a powerful family
that includes his nephew, the Earl of Rimmocksdale.
The younger brother of the former earl, Casner grew
up in Orven but was sent off to Caspia to find his
calling among the Fraternal Order of Wizardry. His
comfortable career as a wizard came to a close when the
new king sent him to rule Ironhead Station in 595 AR,
trusting to his experience with mining communities
as a youth. Viscount Rathleagh has proved an able
leader although the constant darkness and oppression
of being underground pecks at his sanity, and he has
begun to have disturbing nightmares. The viscount
has recently renewed his occult studies in an attempt
to distract himself. He is convinced there may be old
lore in various recently discovered mountain ruins
and is quick to embrace any excuse to see the surface
again. The viscount is a frequent visitor to the upper
levels of the nearby dwarven conclave where he can
observe the stars at night.
Marba Stoneground (female dwarf Rgr4/Rog4):
Marba has friends in unlikely places such as members
of the Glomring (see pg. 134) as well as rig-foreman
Jerg Daro in Highgate. However, she has made a
comfortable living in Ironhead Station as a scout,
both in the nearby mountains and descending into
the deepest and most dangerous of mine shafts. She
has become an invaluable liaison between the dwarven
conclave and the human mining companies and is
well trusted in both settlements. Marba is usually hired
to find new likely claims or to evaluate the safety of
ongoing projects and to warn of potential threats to
the town by dangerous creatures in the deeper shafts
or nearby mountain trails, of which there are many.
Locales of Ironhead Station
Chapel of Sambert: This chapel is built into the
wall of the cavern and through a clever bit of design
has several long shafts that reach the surface and allow
sunlight into the central chamber during a period
of the early afternoon. As if starved for natural light,
some in the congregation do not even realize this is
why they visit the church. It has made the chapel more
popular than it might have otherwise been among
the predominantly casual Morrowans of Ironhead
Station. The prelate who maintains the chapel is
Viktor Melgravka (male Umbrean Clr7), a hearty
but blind priest who emigrated from eastern Khador
decades ago. He is married and has three sons and two
