[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.
