Raxilon (IPA: /ˈɹæksɪlɒn/) is a hamlet in the western Forest of Piges, and the seat of the barony of the same name. The settlement stands in a broad farming valley near the confluence of the Kluda and Menihieraki rivers, within the mostly-cleared Frezderi Basin area of the Lofos Hills.
The town and surrounding area are given over largely to agriculture, but also to the important mineral wealth of the hills, which has led to extensive deforestation of the Frezderi Basin in recent decades. A number of important mines have been opened in the area, and Raxilon became a boomtown after gold was discovered nearby. The gold has all but dried up now, leading Raxilon's population to dwindle, but some gold continues to be mined from the region, or dredged from the rivers and stream nearby. Prospectors can still be seen wandering the hills and valleys, digging holes in the dusty hillsides or sifting through rocks in shallow waterways, dreaming desperate dreams of a sudden windfall.
