Verdigris Revisited - Undercommon Taste Episode 77

This week, we return to the town of Verdigris, which we created way back in episode 19. Join us as we flesh out the town and its environs a bit more, and take inspiration from the song "The Copper War" by The Cog is Dead (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3mbsY75Zws) to lay out an adventure arc with the political machinations and posturing of two dragons: one green, one copper. 

As mentioned in the episode, we are drawing inspiration for the town of Verdigris and the people within from the history of the Appalachian coal mines, specifically the unionization efforts of the miners and the subsequent crackdown by the mining companies. A keystone event for these union struggles was the Battle of Blair Mountain in 1921, which remains the single largest labor uprising in American history. Here's an article about it: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/battle-blair-mountain-largest-labor-uprising-american-history-180978520/
