The Schanker Mines are located in the Shamutanti Hills, north of Kristatanti in Kakhabad. They are worked by Goblins and at least one Ogre, for precious stones and various metals. The name "Schanker" appears to be of a "German"-type more typical of western Mauristatia and adjacent parts of Gallantaria and Brice, - a Captain Schankerman operated out of the port at Eedefork in Gallantaria, for example. It is perhaps possible that the Schanker Mines were originally owned by prospectors from that part of the Old World.
