Editing Dark Ring (section)

=== Isis ===
Standing as the guardian to the wastes that lie to the West of Qis, Isis is a city inhabited by miners and members of the SHD. With its silhouette standing alone on the horizon, it is perhaps the most isolated city in all the Dark Ring. The roads leading to it are potholed and covered by sand. Signs have long since fallen into disrepair. One day Isis might drift back into the sands it was built from.

==== ''Headquarters of the SHD'' ====
It is said that Isis contains the headquarters of the SHD. However, it is unknown where exactly the headquarters is within the city. SHD has never made public the exact address of their base of operations. Some believe that the headquarters is moved constantly while others say the entire city itself constitutes the SHD’s estate.

''Mining town''

The ground beneath Isis is latent with ore. This is how the city supports a few thousand miners which burrow beneath the sands. The work, even aided by undead, is difficult. Cave ins are common due to the shifting earth above. Human miners most delicately pry the metals from the rock before the undead take the ore to the surface.

==== ''Hell’s Throat'' ====
There is a spiral mining hole that carves its way a mile below ground known to the locals as Hell’s Throat. To this day gems and thick gold veins run alongside the throat and its tributary mining tunnels. However, in those caverns lie monsters. Large beasts who feast on the rich gem deposits will also eat any wandering miner. For this reason almost all mining operations, unless escorted by mercenaries, do not enter Hell’s Throat. Sometimes though the SHD will toss a particularly annoying prisoner down the hole. If they escape, they live. If not, the creatures of Hell’s Throat have some variety to their diet.
