Description
These caves were once a Quadav settlement until mythril, a rare ore, was discovered in its walls. It was not long before the Republic of Bastok sent its soldiers to drive the beastmen out of these caves. After the Quadav had been vanquished, the Humes used their newly invented explosives to transform the caves into a system of mines that would become the largest producer of mythril ore in the whole of Vana'diel. However, the Quadav recently retaliated by sending their own forces to reclaim their former home. They remain in control of the mines to this day.
