2044=head1 The Spectre Mountain
2045
2046When you travel borth from Scorn to Euthville, and then the same distance
2047to the west, you will arrive at the Spectre Mountain.
2048
2049It is thought that it got it's name from wandering spectres that were
2050often seen in this area, although the exact origin of the name cannot be
2051reconstructed for sure today.
2052
2053Even in ancient times this area was known for the rich veins of the
2054spectrolite mineral that you can find there - in fact, the mineral
2055actually got it's name from the mountain.
2056
2057While it is a well-known area today, it was not till Hanur Sknorson's
2058travels in EK 8333 that it became generally known that the Spectre
2059Mountain is actually an enourmous ring-shaped mountain, only at one side
2060is it disturbed by a river.

2198=head1 The Gravedigger
2199
2200All around the world adventurers, wizards, explorers and warriors are killed
2201by the dangers they are exposed to. And while they are riddling with the Gods
2202in Nimbus the world has one more gravestone that needs to be take care of.
2203
2204You might wonder: Who takes care of them? Why are they disappearing?
2205
2206The gravedigger family takes care of them! The long line of gravediggers have
2207devoted themselves to look after the remains people leave.
2208
2209Of course you can help the gravedigger to do his work. You can sell him your
2210gravestones or the gravestones of others. He will pay you well for your
2211troubles.
2212
2213You can find the gravedigger in the south of the city of Navar.
2214
2215The amount the gravedigger pays you depends on the current level of the
2216adventurer who died and also partially on the inscription on the gravestone.
2217
2218Even for the most unexperienced adventurer's gravestone you will receive at
2219least 10 gold. High level adventurer's gravestones will paid even better, you
2220can get no less than up to 37 platinum for your efforts!
2221
2222But be warned, gravestones by those who killed themselves by suicide are not
2223welcome!
