The Hidden Veins

I heard from Elder Filaur. You are trying to recover some old maps, right? I used to be an apprentice for the cartography guild before becoming a seer. I helped Master Diana recover the map that shows the sites of the ancient giants.

Let me see ... This part should be on the upper left-hand corner ... This should be under that piece ... If I put this here ...

There! It is a little loose, but I have managed to create a rough map. I have never seen these characters before. These are neither the giants' nor the Elves' writing. Clumsy lines and bad handwriting ... it seems like a race with lousy craftsmanship made this map ... Perhaps the Humans?

You've done well, young Dwarf. This ore you have brought may look rough, but once it goes through the trained hands of craftsmen, it becomes a precious metal with a brilliant blue luster. True maestros should be able to find the beauty hidden in plain objects.

As promised, I will reward you based on the amount of ore you have brought. And, don't forget ... If you collect four pieces of a torn map, you should visit Chichirin in the Maphr Temple. If you ask her for help, she will combine those torn pieces and make a complete map. I will give you a generous reward once you bring me the completed maps.

Ohh! You have obtained a complete map! Well done! We can finally find out the location of the hidden crysolite vein! I will reward you as promised. This should be enough.

Let me see ... Hmm ... Oh. Stupid Orcs, their map is too hard to read. But I can still roughly figure out the location. My investigators will have no problem locating the vein.

As I said before, there are many hidden veins. Continue to find more maps! I will reward you whenever you bring new maps, so don't worry about that.

You want to quit already? I am very disappointed ... I thought you'd be more dedicated than that. Although you might not earn much profit now, you can receive a big reward once you put more time into it ... Young ones, they are too impatient these days ... Tsk tsk ...

Think about how much money we can save if we can actually mine crysolite instead of importing it. This task is not only an achievement for our Gray Column Guild, it is an advancement for our entire Dwarven Village Kingdom. Don't forget this. Please carry on.
