2043=head1 The Spectre Mountain
2044
2045When you travel borth from Scorn to Euthville, and then the same distance
2046to the west, you will arrive at the Spectre Mountain.
2047
2048It is thought that it got it's name from wandering spectres that were
2049often seen in this area, although the exact origin of the name cannot be
2050reconstructed for sure today.
2051
2052Even in ancient times this area was known for the rich veins of the
2053spectrolite mineral that you can find there - in fact, the mineral
2054actually got it's name from the mountain.
2055
2056While it is a well-known area today, it was not till Hanur Sknorson's
2057travels in EK 8333 that it became generally known that the Spectre
2058Mountain is actually an enourmous ring-shaped mountain, only at one side
2059is it disturbed by a river.
2060
2061
2062=head1 The Mineral Brazilianite
2063
2064Herein will you find useful facts about the mineral Brazilianite.
2065
2066It has a rough texture and is of pale yellowish-white colour and a biting
2067smell.
2068
2069Nobody knows for sure who named it like this, but since no natural sources
2070of it have been found it is rumored that it came from a far-away country.
2071
2072The value of Brazialinite lies in its stored magical energy. Weapons and
2073other items imbued with its energy improve the wielder's dexterity.
2074
2075It can often be found in old and thinned-out, rough walls.
2076
2077=head1 The Mineral Dolomite
2078
2079Herein will you find useful facts about the mineral Dolomite.
2080
2081It is sharp-edged and is of dark green colour.
2082
2083The name is thought to come from the archaic Do-l'os - "he who continues".
2084
2085The value of Dolomite lies in its stored magical energy. Weapons and
2086other items imbued with its energy improve the wielder's stamina and
2087constitution.
2088
2089It can often be found in the rock of very high mountains.
2090
2091=head1 The Mineral Flourite
2092
2093Herein will you find useful facts about the mineral Flourite.
2094
2095It has a porous texture and is of bright green colour, almost as if glowing.
2096
2097The name is thought to come from the archaic Flu-l'dos - "he who inflicts
2098pain", as it is often used to improve weapons.
2099
2100The value of Flourite lies in its stored magical energy. Weapons and other
2101items imbued with its energy improve the wielder's strength.
2102
2103It's only known natural sources can be found on the so called "Three
2104sisters Island" between the Scorn and Navar continents.
2105
2106=head1 The Mineral Marcasite
2107
2108Herein will you find useful facts about the mineral Marcasite.
2109
2110It has rough rock-like texture and is of greyish colour.
2111
2112It was named after the great philosopher Marcas, who, today almost
2113unknown, was widely known during his lifetime. Only considerable time
2114after his death was it found out that all his wisdom came from one of his
2115rings made of Marcasite. While this didn't diminish his great words, it
2116did diminish his fame.
2117
2118The value of Marcasite lies in its stored magical energy. Items imbued with
2119its energy improve the wearer's wisdom.
2120
2121The best known source for this mineral can be found in the Church of
2122Gorokh in Scorn, very deep down in their so-called "Hell", which they
2123apparently think to be a nice place to be in.
2124
2125=head1 The Mineral Olivine
2126
2127Herein will you find useful facts about the mineral Olivine.
2128
2129It consists of two different, green and dark-green globule materials.
2130
2131It was named by empress Olo of Orn in or around EK 8317, who couldn't
2132satiate her lust for this mineral, and almost caused an economic disaster
2133because she spend all her money on it instead of more important things,
2134and somehow nobody managed to convince her otherwise.
2135
2136The value of Olivine lies in its stored magical energy. Items imbued with
2137its energy improve the wearer's charisma.
2138
2139The best known source for this mineral can be found in the Church of
2140Valriel in Scorn, apparently very high up in their so-called "Heaven".
2141
2142=head1 The Mineral Phlogopite
2143
2144Herein will you find useful facts about the mineral Phlogopite.
2145
2146It looks like a dark brown rock, not unlike the colour of excrements (but
2147of course with a more rock-like texture).
2148
2149Since the mineral is so worthless but yet so common, miners often say "Oh
2150Flog!" when they get Phlogopite instead something more valuable. It was
2151named after the minor goddess of Flog, one of the beings that miners often
2152pray to, to ensure (as they think) their survival. Apparently she does not
2153care much about her name being used as an obvious invective...
2154
2155The biggest value of Phlogopite lies in its beauty, in which it is
2156considerably lacking, so it isn't worth all that much. At least it can be
2157somewhat useful to miners, as the presence of Phlogopite often hints at
2158the presence of other, more useful, minerals.
2159
2160It can be found in rock almost anywhere.
2161
2162=head1 The Mineral Rhodochrosite
2163
2164Herein will you find useful facts about the mineral Rhodochrosite.
2165
2166It easily crumbles in your hand and has a pinkish colour.
2167
2168Nothing is known about the origin of its name (which is very pretty, I
2169tell you).
2170
2171The value of Rhodochrosite lies in its stored magical energy. Items imbued
2172with its energy improve the wearer's magical powers, which makes it very
2173valuable to all kinds of practitioners of the arts.
2174
2175It is best found in Valleynoy, which has a mining guild specialised on
2176Rhodochrosite.
2177
2178=head1 The Mineral Spectrolite
2179
2180Herein will you find useful facts about the mineral Spectrolite.
2181
2182It has a very smooth texture, and has a slightly transparent yellowish
2183colour with dark corners.
2184
2185It is named after the only place where it can be found naturally, the
2186Spectre mountain ring. Having been mined for centuries, however, it can
2187now only be found in mindes deep under ground, however.
2188
2189The value of Spectrolite lies in its stored magical energy. Items imbued
2190with its energy improve the wearer's brightness, making him or her
2191more intelligent, which makes it especially valuable to all kinds of
2192practitioners of the arts.
2193
2194The Spectre mountain ring is, surprisingly, a ring-mountain north of
2195Scorn.
