2044 | =head1 The Spectre Mountain |
|
|
2045 | |
|
|
2046 | When you travel borth from Scorn to Euthville, and then the same distance |
|
|
2047 | to the west, you will arrive at the Spectre Mountain. |
|
|
2048 | |
|
|
2049 | It is thought that it got it's name from wandering spectres that were |
|
|
2050 | often seen in this area, although the exact origin of the name cannot be |
|
|
2051 | reconstructed for sure today. |
|
|
2052 | |
|
|
2053 | Even in ancient times this area was known for the rich veins of the |
|
|
2054 | spectrolite mineral that you can find there - in fact, the mineral |
|
|
2055 | actually got it's name from the mountain. |
|
|
2056 | |
|
|
2057 | While it is a well-known area today, it was not till Hanur Sknorson's |
|
|
2058 | travels in EK 8333 that it became generally known that the Spectre |
|
|
2059 | Mountain is actually an enourmous ring-shaped mountain, only at one side |
|
|
2060 | is it disturbed by a river. |
|
|
2061 | |
|
|
2062 | To mine the mineral you should find a cave and go deep down, as the |
|
|
2063 | mountains have been mined extensively. |

2201 | =head1 The Gravedigger |
|
|
2202 | |
|
|
2203 | All around the world adventurers, wizards, explorers and warriors are killed |
|
|
2204 | by the dangers they are exposed to. And while they are riddling with the Gods |
|
|
2205 | in Nimbus the world has one more gravestone that needs to be take care of. |
|
|
2206 | |
|
|
2207 | You might wonder: Who takes care of them? Why are they disappearing? |
|
|
2208 | |
|
|
2209 | The gravedigger family takes care of them! The long line of gravediggers have |
|
|
2210 | devoted themselves to look after the remains people leave. |
|
|
2211 | |
|
|
2212 | Of course you can help the gravedigger to do his work. You can sell him your |
|
|
2213 | gravestones or the gravestones of others. He will pay you well for your |
|
|
2214 | troubles. |
|
|
2215 | |
|
|
2216 | You can find the gravedigger in the south of the city of Navar. |
|
|
2217 | |
|
|
2218 | The amount the gravedigger pays you depends on the fame the dead |
|
|
2219 | adventurer has gained and also partially on the inscription on the |
|
|
2220 | gravestone. |
|
|
2221 | |
|
|
2222 | Even for the most unexperienced adventurer's gravestone you will receive |
|
|
2223 | at least 10 gold. High level adventurer's gravestones will pay even |
|
|
2224 | better, you can get up to 37 platinum for your efforts! |
|
|
2225 | |
|
|
2226 | But be warned, gravestones by those who killed themselves by suicide are |
|
|
2227 | not welcome! |
