|Introduction=Arenam’s Quarry is a small but vital mining settlement in the Glass Fields of Zanarak, where raw mirage glass, obsidian, and rare crystalline formations are extracted from the fractured desert. Named after [[Arenam]], the Spirit of Sand and Glass, the town is as harsh and unforgiving as the desert itself—a place where every step is a risk, and every shard has value.

|Geography=Arenam’s Quarry is located north of Azirith, nestled within the Glass Fields of Zanarak. The land surrounding the town is a treacherous expanse of jagged, splintered glass formations, formed by the intense fusion of desert sands and Ashland heat.

The town itself is built low to the ground, its stone and glass-reinforced dwellings designed to withstand the deadly glassstorms that sweep through the region. Deep within the quarry, a network of tunnels and shelters, known as the Dustwarren, protects miners and traders from the elements.

|History=Arenam’s Quarry was founded centuries ago when Gilaari prospectors first uncovered vast deposits of mirage glass deep within the Glass Fields. The settlement grew around the richest veins, its survival dependent on the constant demand for glass and obsidian in cities like Azirith and Orundahl.

Over time, the Sunshifters arrived, bringing their expertise in alchemical refinement, transforming raw glass into weapons, enchanted artifacts, and illusionary lenses. Though Arenam’s Quarry has never been a thriving metropolis, its resources are invaluable to Zanarak and beyond.

The largest open-pit mine in the region, where miners carefully extract raw mirage glass and obsidian. The terrain is unstable, and accidents are common, yet the rewards outweigh the risks for those skilled enough to navigate its dangers.
