- ―Marent Ergend[src]
Crosswych is a relatively isolated mountain town in the north eastern part of Glenumbra, High Rock, east of the Cryptwatch Fort. It is situated on the very border with the region of Stormhaven. The town is mostly populated by miners.
Sometime in the First Era a rich iron vein was discovered by the Pinifred Lode-Finger in the nearby mountains and a mine was created. The town was founded for the miners.[1]
During the Interregnum town was managed by a beloved mayor Heseph.[2][3] However a group of bandits by the name of Red Rooks used the chaos caused by the Bloodthorn Cult and Faolchu to seize control of the isolated and unprotected Crosswych.[4] Red Rooks murdered the previous mayor and took over the mining operations, using the mine as a prison, and prisoners as slave labor. Leader of the Red Rooks Sternis Gelves had hoped to keep the town open to travelers in promise of more income and taxation.[5]
A local resistance organized by Vestige and Tamien Sellan succeed at restoring the order and chasing the Red Rooks out of the town.[6] After the uprising a previous councilor and a member of the resistance Lia stepped up and offered herself as a potential future mayor.[2] For the future security of the town presence of the Daggerfall Covenant and the Fighters Guild was established, as well as contact was made with the Lion Guard.
