Northcawl Copper Mine Rail Track (Main Haulage Tunnel)
The Northcawl Copper Mine is a subterranean industrial wound in Androzani Minor’s bedrock, its labyrinthine tunnels carved through decades of copper extraction. Air hangs thick with the copper’s biting oxide sting, coating throats and metal alike, while harsh strip-lights flicker across jagged seams that glint dully in the glare. The constant thrum of extraction machinery vibrates through the rock, the floor slick with mineral runoff that pools in dark, iridescent patches underfoot. Rock bolts scream under pressure, their groans mingling with the distant echoes of collapse—reminders that the mine’s precarious balance between industry and ruin has just shattered. This is where hundreds of workers met their end in a single explosion, their labor now reduced to a market commodity in Morgus’ calculating hands.
