[QUOTE="Dyson Logos, post: 9816916, member: 83678"] [ATTACH type="full" size="1200x3600"]424510[/ATTACH] [B]Blackglass Vein – South[/B] This is the second of two linked maps exploring a small abandoned mine. Known as the Blackglass Vein, this was a prosperous obsidian mine abandoned after it was mostly mined out. The southern map details the areas of the mine that have been made mostly inaccessible by the collapse of the bridges across the rift, and the subsequent cave-in just past the bridge. Accessing this area now involves either climbing through the very small gap left by the cave-in or somehow crossing the rift to the cave mouth on the east side that is about eight feet below the main mine track. The mine tracks don’t extend far into this section, proceeding along the main dig for a further hundred feet or so, with a spur off to the stalactite cave. This large cave is uneven and damp, with stalactites and stalagmites and trickles of running water across the area. The trickles of water descend down to a ‘sump’ beyond the cave, along the main dig line. The southern half of the map is where the main mining took place in the last years of the Blackglass vein. There are multiple cuts made here to follow the twisting veins of obsidian through the volcanic rock. A small shrine to a fire demon was built along here, and further into the digs we find a massive vertical shaft – a volcanic vent that descends far deeper underground that still emits foul fumes from the depths of the world. [I]The 1200 dpi versions of the map were drawn at a scale of 300 pixels per square and are 4,800 x 14,400 pixels (16 x 48 squares).
