Capella Consortium

The Capella Consortium was an organization run by the remaining Capella family members in Sneerwell in the 800s PR.

The Nightfall Station

By 825 PR, the Capellas ran a mining colony known as the Nightfall Station, a gold mine run by slaves of shifters, taken from the various shattered tribes in Isonhound.

The station itself was located about 5 miles out from the merging of the waters of the River Titicaca and the Ssaphibian River. Because the operations at the mine were a highly guarded secret, gold and supplies were ferried back and forth under the guise of "River Scouting" -- a job which required noting any possible Vegepygmy dams, elven ambushes, or even the activity of the dragon Hydrinth who lived in the river.

The Dragon, however, had no patience for the constant boating going back and forth over his lair, and began to get aggressive with the ships, inadvertedly also lending a hand in the shutting down of the Nightfall station. It was Tordek the dwarf, also formally a miner himself, who discovered the colony deep underground through his tremorsensing, and was able to rescue the slaves and shut down the station for good.
