The Silver Mines of Skalitz were situated just outside the village of Skalitz and, like the village, were under the administration of Sir Radzig Kobyla.
History[]
They were without a doubt the most important and rich structure in the whole Skalitz-Sasau region. Nemoy was the foreman of the mines, under the direction of Master Feyfare.

After kidnapping his older half-brother, King Wenceslas IV of Bohemia, King Sigismund of Hungary invaded the kingdom of Bohemia and started raiding every settlement that stayed loyal to their true king. After he conquered the city of Kuttenberg, he set his sights on Skalitz, as Sir Radzig Kobyla was royal hetman and still sending the silver to King Wenceslas. Together with his loyal general Sir Markvart von Aulitz, King Sigismund attacked the town and razed it to the ground.
Map of Skalitz Mines in the base game. DE stands for Dead End. During the events of The King's Silver and A Woman's Lot DLC the north-western section changes: dead ends become replaced with passable tunnels. For their map, refer to the official map of flooded shaft.
Dozens of miners were killed in the assault, including Theresa's younger brother, Samuel. However, many were able to escape, and either fled to the safety of the castle, to eventually make their way to the refugee camp of Rattay, or into the surrounding countryside, eventually hiding in the miner's camp west of Skalitz.
