The gargoyles may look a little fear-inspiring, but they are more than happy to have visitors on their island, which is a very peaceful place. Up until several years ago, the ruins of Blackthorn's palace could be visited, but now, they are all gone, used as building materials. However, the visitor can still visit the Shrines of the Principles, which symbolize the three Principles of the Gargoyles. Economically speaking, the town sports a combined tavern/inn, a trainer for magic and fighting, a provisioner, a healer and several other, smaller shops. The mine was emptied long ago.
