After quite a while it’s time to start a new place - the mining town of Eisenberg.

Eisenberg is located at the foot of the mountains, at the top end of the valley in which Karnberg located as well. The town exists only due to one reason: Iron mining. This has led the town to massively grow and equally massively decline a few times during the last 200 years ( point of time is still 1500 AD). Currently, Eisenberg is in a phase of decline again, as the mining technology once again is insufficient to reach the deeper ore veins.

The last peak of the development, which was about 50 years ago, has made the town very rich however, and furthermore attracted a lot of other businesses to supply the rich miners, and those have formed a relatively stable market town in the center of the mines, which reduces the economical consequences of the decline a bit.

The visible result will be a rather scattered, unfortified town with a solid core town and the mining areas around, and furthermore a lot of unfinished buildings, which can’t be completed anymore due to the decline - this includes the parish church and a monastery.

This is my first rough layout - if you have any questions or ideas, let me know:
