Mine History Page (Legend )
This mine has been here since the island was formed. No one knows for sure how the mine was made, but they say there is many mines in this mountain that no one even knows about.
When I first came to Emanon I found a scroll that told of this mine and also had this drawing of it. (See Mine Layout )
The scroll was written in Ancient Mage, so luckily I knew how to read it, and I was able to figure it out. Below is what the scroll said about the mine and what was in it.
This is the mine of Zarmack the All Mighty. Zarmack is the great and powerful mage of the Graz'zt tribe that inhabits this mountain. Zarmack made this mine in order to hide his gold and emeralds from the lesser mortals of the tribe. Zarmack is also rumored to have made a passage into his secret world inside the mountain. His secret world is suppose to be burried deep with in this moutain, but none of us in the tribe has been able to find it, Zarmack has many boulders and traps set so we can't find it. The walls of the mine holds many things there is water that comes through the walls and enters into holes that Zarmack made specially to catch the water. He says that he did this so his hide out wouldn't get flooded, but we feel that he did this so that he can practise more of his evil magic.
It has been 3 years since Zarmack entered his mine and never returned, some believe that he got trapped in one of his own traps. I for one feel that he has been captured by Graz'zt the god of Demons, the god that our tribe was named after. I have found that their is a hard substance formed in the walls of the mine where water lays, I call it Ice. This ice stays hard from what I can tell, but yet the walls are warm to the touch. Inside the ice is a container, I can't tell what is in it though.
The tribe has decided to send in a group to find out what has happened to Zarmack, but none of them has come back. It has been a week since six men have entered that cave, and we think that all six have been killed or trapped.
The mine has set untouched for a year now, but once again the tribal council has decided to send in another exploration team. This time they have sent in Gangus he is a high wizard that replced Zarmack. A week went by and there was no sign of the team, until Gangus teleported into the council's area. Here is what he said:
I have seen it all, for this past week I have been shot at by arrows, slashed at by blades, and I lost count of how many traps I had to teleport out of. I was in a room where I found all the skeletons of the dead members that we sent in a year ago. There was no sign of Zarmack or his kingdom, but I was unable to enter the one room, do to boulders that blocked my path............
Gangus soon after making that speech died when he went total crazy.
WARNING TO ALL DON'T ENTER THIS MINE IT IS A DEATH TRAP!
Well That is all the scroll said, so now it is up to you if you wish to enter or not.
