+=head1 The Spectre Mountain
+
+When you travel borth from Scorn to Euthville, and then the same distance
+to the west, you will arrive at the Spectre Mountain.
+
+It is thought that it got it's name from wandering spectres that were
+often seen in this area, although the exact origin of the name cannot be
+reconstructed for sure today.
+
+Even in ancient times this area was known for the rich veins of the
+spectrolite mineral that you can find there - in fact, the mineral
+actually got it's name from the mountain.
+
+While it is a well-known area today, it was not till Hanur Sknorson's
+travels in EK 8333 that it became generally known that the Spectre
+Mountain is actually an enourmous ring-shaped mountain, only at one side
+is it disturbed by a river.
+
+
+=head1 The Mineral Brazilianite
+
+Herein will you find useful facts about the mineral Brazilianite.
+
+It has a rough texture and is of pale yellowish-white colour and a biting
+smell.
+
+Nobody knows for sure who named it like this, but since no natural sources
+of it have been found it is rumored that it came from a far-away country.
+
+The value of Brazialinite lies in its stored magical energy. Weapons and
+other items imbued with its energy improve the wielder's dexterity.
+
+It can often be found in old and thinned-out, rough walls.
+
+=head1 The Mineral Dolomite
+
+Herein will you find useful facts about the mineral Dolomite.
+
+It is sharp-edged and is of dark green colour.
+
+The name is thought to come from the archaic Do-l'os - "he who continues".
+
+The value of Dolomite lies in its stored magical energy. Weapons and
+other items imbued with its energy improve the wielder's stamina and
+constitution.
+
+It can often be found in the rock of very high mountains.
+
+=head1 The Mineral Flourite
+
+Herein will you find useful facts about the mineral Flourite.
+
+It has a porous texture and is of bright green colour, almost as if glowing.
+
+The name is thought to come from the archaic Flu-l'dos - "he who inflicts
+pain", as it is often used to improve weapons.
+
+The value of Flourite lies in its stored magical energy. Weapons and other
+items imbued with its energy improve the wielder's strength.
+
+It's only known natural sources can be found on the so called "Three
+sisters Island" between the Scorn and Navar continents.
+
+=head1 The Mineral Marcasite
+
+Herein will you find useful facts about the mineral Marcasite.
+
+It has rough rock-like texture and is of greyish colour.
+
+It was named after the great philosopher Marcas, who, today almost
+unknown, was widely known during his lifetime. Only considerable time
+after his death was it found out that all his wisdom came from one of his
+rings made of Marcasite. While this didn't diminish his great words, it
+did diminish his fame.
+
+The value of Marcasite lies in its stored magical energy. Items imbued with
+its energy improve the wearer's wisdom.
+
+The best known source for this mineral can be found in the Church of
+Gorokh in Scorn, very deep down in their so-called "Hell", which they
+apparently think to be a nice place to be in.
+
+=head1 The Mineral Olivine
+
+Herein will you find useful facts about the mineral Olivine.
+
+It consists of two different, green and dark-green globule materials.
+
+It was named by empress Olo of Orn in or around EK 8317, who couldn't
+satiate her lust for this mineral, and almost caused an economic disaster
+because she spend all her money on it instead of more important things,
+and somehow nobody managed to convince her otherwise.
+
+The value of Olivine lies in its stored magical energy. Items imbued with
+its energy improve the wearer's charisma.
+
+The best known source for this mineral can be found in the Church of
+Valriel in Scorn, apparently very high up in their so-called "Heaven".
+
+=head1 The Mineral Phlogopite
+
+Herein will you find useful facts about the mineral Phlogopite.
+
+It looks like a dark brown rock, not unlike the colour of excrements (but
+of course with a more rock-like texture).
+
+Since the mineral is so worthless but yet so common, miners often say "Oh
+Flog!" when they get Phlogopite instead something more valuable. It was
+named after the minor goddess of Flog, one of the beings that miners often
+pray to, to ensure (as they think) their survival. Apparently she does not
+care much about her name being used as an obvious invective...
+
+The biggest value of Phlogopite lies in its beauty, in which it is
+considerably lacking, so it isn't worth all that much. At least it can be
+somewhat useful to miners, as the presence of Phlogopite often hints at
+the presence of other, more useful, minerals.
+
+It can be found in rock almost anywhere.
+
+=head1 The Mineral Rhodochrosite
+
+Herein will you find useful facts about the mineral Rhodochrosite.
+
+It easily crumbles in your hand and has a pinkish colour.
+
+Nothing is known about the origin of its name (which is very pretty, I
+tell you).
+
+The value of Rhodochrosite lies in its stored magical energy. Items imbued
+with its energy improve the wearer's magical powers, which makes it very
+valuable to all kinds of practitioners of the arts.
+
+It is best found in Valleynoy, which has a mining guild specialised on
+Rhodochrosite.
+
+=head1 The Mineral Spectrolite
+
+Herein will you find useful facts about the mineral Spectrolite.
+
+It has a very smooth texture, and has a slightly transparent yellowish
+colour with dark corners.
+
+It is named after the only place where it can be found naturally, the
+Spectre mountain ring. Having been mined for centuries, however, it can
+now only be found in mindes deep under ground, however.
+
+The value of Spectrolite lies in its stored magical energy. Items imbued
+with its energy improve the wearer's brightness, making him or her
+more intelligent, which makes it especially valuable to all kinds of
+practitioners of the arts.
+
+The Spectre mountain ring is, surprisingly, a ring-mountain north of
+Scorn.
