Summary
Scaled Peaks is a small mining town that largely exports copper. It sees some rare trade but generally has the same large contracts going out.

Climate & Geography
The town sits toward the top of a lesser mountain peak, on the eastern side of the southern ridge. It gets very cold in the winters, which is when everyone decides to hang out at the town's hot spring.

Natural Resources
Scaled Peaks boasts a copper mine and little else.

Foundation & Culture
Scaled Peaks is a nose-to-the-grindstone working town. They're less like a town and more like a massive dysfunctional family; they hate each other but they'll die for one another in a heartbeat. Safety is the mine's top priority.

Food/Entertainment
Fare is largely local game, and most people eat at Oswaldo's tavern or together in the bigger houses. Due to their responsibility for the miner's health, most locals grudgingly give respect to the preparers of the food.

Entertainment is chiefly gambling and finding reasons to have a feast.

Disposition to Outsiders
The miners of Scaled Peaks will recognize outsiders on sight and mostly ignore them. They're used to dealing with their own and aren't likely to go out of their way to meet someone new, unless they're starved for contact (such as a black sheep of the community).

Religion
Offerings and services are made at the local Temple to Bahumat, the Platinum Dragon, but religion is not generally otherwise observed.

Government
The mine's supervisor/operator is a Hill Dwarf named Rannera. She is also saught after to settle disputes, chiefly because the miners have been conditioned to listen to her.

Politics
The elected representative of Scaled Peaks is Quojin, a gnome who noticed that no one around here gave a rat's ass about politics and elected himself. He works with Rannera to organize the shipping of their copper.
