Angelhead Mine

The Angelhead Mine was a mine found along the Sword Coast North region of Faerûn. It was named for the enormous statue of an angelic being found within its depths.

Geography
The mine was located just inland from Raven Cliff beach, a short distance away from Cragmire Keep.

Trade
The mining efforts in Angelhead were led by forewoman Mira Thamros, and sponsored by the dwarven merchant Melkhor Goldseeker. Melkhor actually formed an agreement with the local Blackdagger Bandits, offering them a large portion of his profits in exchange for protection from their raids.

History
After mining operations continued for some time, as of the, Melkhor's miners discovered a set of ancient ruins and the great stone head after which the mine was named. After learning of this discovery, the Blackdagger bandits reneged on their agreement with Melkhor and sent Krag Foultooth, the leader of their gnoll forces to enslave the miners and take whatever treasure could be found for themselves. Krag abducted the forewoman Mira Thamros, Melkhor's niece, in order to ensure he would not disrupt their operations.

Sometime later, a local guardswoman named "Dusty" Yates worked alongside the Hero of the Sleeping Dragon Bridge to recover the mine for her employer. The adventurer from Neverwinter delved into the mines, slew the Blackdagger gnolls along with their chieftain and ensured Mira made it out of the mines safe and sound.
