Charcoal City

A city surrounded on one side by the fringes of Jadewing Forest and on the other by the mighty Earthsky mountain range. The citizens of Charcoal City take full advantage of the resources that both provide, making good use of wood and stone in craft and construction. (They are careful not to abuse these resources or take them for granted, of course. They don't want to incur the wrath of the forest's keeper, or, worse, the monstrous spirit said to sleep beneath the mountains.) There used to be a vein of valuable gemstones in the nearby mines, one that ushered in a great deal of prosperity, but this vein was tapped out many years ago and Charcoal’s growth has since slowed; there have been occasional attempts to find new veins deeper within the mountains. The city also houses Petra’s Rock-type gym, a common first stop for new trainers.
