Reaching Bluff

Reaching Bluff is a frontier village in the far north of Tal'Dorei's Cliffkeep Mountains

Description
Reaching Bluff is located in a fertile valley within the Cliffkeep Mountains, nearby to Tal'Dorei's northern coast of the Frigid Depths. The village is described as "rustic and charming". Nearby to the town is a mine that digs for iron and gold.

Culture
Reaching Bluff is a remote and insular village. Few travelers pass through, and those that do don't stay for long. This insularity was compounded by the discovery of the Lost Beacon, which the village fervently worships and and wishes to keep hidden.

Demographics
In 836 PD, ten years after its founding, Reaching Bluff is a small village with a population of 324. The majority are humans (53%) followed by dwarven exiles (27%). There is a notable minority population of drow (3%) and those of earth elemental ancestry (3%). Other races make up the remaining population (14%).

History
Reaching Bluff was founded in 826 PD by homesteaders from the Republic of Tal'Dorei who sought to mine for gold and iron. They were joined by exiled dwarves from Kraghammer, who were driven away after a change in cultural attitude about non-dwarves in the city left the more staunchly xenophobic dwarves unwelcome.

Shortly after the village's founding, miners discovered a mystical, radiant dodecahedron buried in the earth. After bringing it to the surface, the village named it the Beacon of Unknown Light, and began to worship it as a god that would lead the village to prosperity. Unbeknownst to the villagers, this dodecahedron is one of the beacons of the Luxon.

Despite the village's wishes to keep the Lost Beacon a secret from outsiders, word about its discovery had begun to spread by 836 PD.

Trivia
Reaching Bluff is the first confirmed location of a Luxon beacon outside of Wildemount.
