The author of the file became interested in why, after clearing the Torch Mine of bandits, the location was not populated by NPCs. According to the enthusiast, this is a great place with a large amount of ore and the presence of ready-made blacksmithing tools should attract the attention of non-player characters. However, in Skyrim, the inhabitants of the province do not populate camps cleared of monsters and bandits, as in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

DKdoubledub decided to partially correct this shortcoming in his creation. After installing New Embershard Miners, two new NPCs will appear in the game - the Nord Stalgar and the orc Goronk. When the main character clears the Torch Mine, they will build a camp near the back entrance to the location. In the morning, the characters will have breakfast, work inside during the day, relax in the evening at the Sleeping Giant tavern, located nearby, and return closer to night to take a nap in the tents. And from time to time the Torch Mine will be captured by bandits. In this case, Stalgar and Goronk will remain in the camp and begin to wait until the player clears the location.
