Tucked deep in a maze of immense red rock canyons and ancient mining complexes lies Crimson Gorge—a sprawling network of makeshift dwellings, repurposed industrial relics, and secret tunnels that serve as the beating heart of The Iron Veins insurgency. The pragmatic, miner-led insurgents have transformed this harsh landscape into both a fortress and a training ground, repurposing abandoned passages and mining equipment to forge a communal stronghold against external threats.

The defenders expertly exploit the treacherous terrain, setting up choke points and hidden firing positions that turn every canyon into a potential trap for unwanted visitors. Occasional RSD patrol sweeps through the larger canyon mouths highlight the precarious nature of life in the Gorge, where even a minor incursion can turn into a battle for survival. Amid this constant state of alert, Crimson Gorge remains a symbol of defiance—a place where revolutionary fervor, strategic alliances with profit-driven elements of the Ghost Market, and the sustained effort of its inhabitants continue to shape its storied legacy.
