Text

[A curiously passionate collection of research notes about ores.]

Of most surprise to me is the above-grounders' enthusiasm for gold and silver. Such metals have neither the practical benefit of mithral, nor the astonishing properties of ⁠hizagkuur, and yet are coveted as if they were the output of Moradin's own forge. Either the above-grounders are deluded, or they're onto something. Only one way to find out. I have acquired some samples for testing. For now, these are stored in a private room, but should they prove to be as valuable as the denizens of the World Above would have us think, I suppose I shall have to transfer them to an even more secure location.
