Known as "Mining Home" in the common tongue, Miria is a coastal village found on the eastern borders of Ikhael in the World Tree campaign setting. Miria is located near the eastern sea, built upon the prospering platinum mines found deep within, claimed to be cursed for its greed for the precious minerals.

Within the World Tree setting, Miria is home to the only settlement in Ikhael not to be ruled by dwarves, gnomes, or humans, but elves. Fair and just, these elven rulers lay claim to a mostly wealthy populace, dealing in the platinum trade the local mines produce.


Miria is run by the nobility's family, with the eldest in a generation laying claim to the lord mayor's title. With the large demand for the platinum ores found beneath the city, Miria holds an expansive amount of political intrigue between miners, merchants, and exporters who each seek a maximum profit for themselves.

Places of interest within Miria include the "Platinum Halls", the platinum mines, the Lord Mayor's Estate, the "Dania Library of Arts", the "Hammerfist" Inn (named after Turrin Hammerfist, founder of the platinum in the area), the "The Demon and the Priest" alehouse, and the Platinum Quarter (also known as the "Pretty Penny" district).
