Lore Notes
Lore notes are uncovered gradually over multiple expedition sessions. Collect all 5 to unlock the dungeon they reveal.
- Scratches mark the tunnel walls, too deep and wide for any pickaxe.
- Old mining equipment, twisted and bent. Whatever was here left in a hurry.
- A miner's torn note: 'We broke through to something below. The foreman sealed the lower shaft. He won't say why.'
- Tremors from below. Dust falls from the ceiling in slow waves. Something stirs.
- The sealed shaft gives way. A vast cavern opens beneath — the Collapsed Mine lies ahead.
