This mine is not just the source of Sumegaidau's wealth, but also of the Gleyre river, the only artificial river in Auseka.

The Sumegaidau mine mainly produces iron and copper ore, but has a side-branch that runs into rock salt and a single deep shaft that used to follow a small mithril vein, but was lost when digging it an underground aquifier that flooded the entire mine in 21 BV, drowning almost a thousand miners. Three years later, a sidewards release tunnel was completed the emptied the aquifiers stream into what is now the Gleyre river. The mine re-opened one year later and has been running ever since, though the lower levels are now permanently flooded.

Sumegaidau mine is one of the richest human mines of Auseka. While it cannot compete with dwarven mines, it employs a good portion of the population around and its ores are shipped to most of Vericum.
