Silver: no longer dug as ore, but found as nuggets in a mother lode.
The old tallies of the mines speak of silver ore, and of the seams where it was dug. Nobody digs such a seam now. Silver is met by chance: a pick goes into a wall for the sake of something else, and there in the stone is a mother lode, and out of it comes a nugget of clean silver that needs no fire. The miners say it is luck and nothing more, and they are careful to say so aloud, in case luck is listening.
Details
- A mother lode may sit in any wall, at any depth. It is rare, and there is no telling where; 'look' in a direction, with prospecting, names one that is near.
- It takes a mining pick and Pitter (Mining) at level e450. Below that level the nugget is destroyed.
- A silver nugget is ready for the forge as it is. It is a soft, heavy, precious metal, used where worth counts for more than strength.
