The Dwarves of Sosaria

Title: The Dwarves of Sosaria

Author: Adamu Edom

Nearly every miner in the lands got his start near the town of Minoc. The mountain has produced more ore, gems and granite than any other mine in Sosaria. Generations of miners have toiled away hollowing out and hauling away.
Still rumors do blow, and quieted tales around mining camp fires asking the question, "Have we dug too deep?" Even the gypsies have made their camp nearby in a sort of watch across the river.
The underbelly of Britannia, what dangers slither? What dangers lurk? What foul winds do the grounds do contain? The miners wary, and they all ask the same questions. Yet, before they are too wise to stop, a new generation steps forward with lustful dreams of diamonds and valorite in their heads. It will be years before they start to wonder.
The mountain comes alive, sentient elementals walk the mines. Minoc harvests them too. Dragons come to roost in the hollow halls of the mountain. Heroes clear them and the miners continue their work. Yet the danger from below, who can save us from that once the capstone is gone? Could an ancient prison lay below? Could the rumored home of daemons lay just below our feet? Creator protect us, and let us hope we will never know.
So young miner, keep your head. The whispers in the mine are not just in your mind, heed them and ask the question. "Have I dug too deep?"
