Bleakrock depends upon the eldritch shard trade for its economic survival. We'd like to diversify but Allemantheia pays so well for the shards that nothing else is as profitable.<BR><BR>We're running out of deposits, however.<BR><BR>We've sent someone along the Ice Trail to look. Would you check in with Dio? Find out if there are other areas to mine. Yes, yes—everyone wants to know where the next deposit is. To be honest, our existing mines are just about tapped out, but the plains are showing promise.<BR><BR>Here, take my report back. It explains everything. Be careful, though. The Junaidar would slit your throat for that report. This is bad. These suggestions take us deeper into wendigo territory. We'll be fighting more than mining.<BR><BR>Take this report to Praetor Nunahd and see if he thinks it possible.<BR><BR>We chose this life to test ourselves; I only hope we've not bitten off more than we can chew—or that can chew us! Hmph. Possible, yes. Desirable, no.<BR><BR>The wendigos present a different threat than the Junaidar. If we have to fight just to mine, we'll lose a lot of lives.<BR><BR>Well, that magistrate has spoken. I'll get the troops ready.
