The salt deposits that give the Isle its name are themselves a potentially valuable resource if they could be mined.

 

Repeated attempts to set up a mining operation have been defeated by the Flying Unicorns. Their control of wind and weather means no ship arrives or departs the island safely without their leave.

 

They have destroyed a colony set up with slave labor, another using convict labor, and finally an attempt using peons in debt bondage. If the Unicorns ever perceive that an operation is set up to let those doing the work of mining enjoy the bulk of the wealth created, they will relent and permit the salt to be loaded and shipped to markets.

The Mountain People, as they are known to outsiders, are a race of Orcs who live in the mountains of the Far Reaches. Long ago abandoned by other mountain dwellers, they have no precious metals and even common ores are not plentiful, just enough to sustain the people who live in and on the mountains. The many fearsome creatures in the area have taught the Mountain People to be fierce warriors but have also made them realize that cooperation is the only way to survive in this treacherous area.

 

Unbeknownst to them under the mountain an artifact lies in a long forgotten passage beneath the stone of the path leading to a crumbling altar.  A relic that carries the remaining essence of a long forgotten Earth God worshiped here centuries ago. It causes a variety of fungi, mold and other flora to grow in the mountains around it which have a variety of powerful effects and powers. There are lichen which glow for months or even years with water and basic care, fungi which when consumed remove the need for food and sleep for a week, herbs that are bane to undead or remove the curse of Lycanthropy. These treasures will not grow elsewhere, so either they are traded for at outlying villages near the mountains or brave (foolhardy?) adventurers seek them out in the caves beneath the Far Reaches.
