The discovery of this unprecedented deposit of lustrous ore inflamed the miners’ natural dwarven proclivity for avarice, manifesting in a rare form of psychosis known as aurhrek or “gold madness.” The bane of dwarvenkind, this insanity gripped the miners, causing them to covet the gold above all else—even to the point of forsaking friendships and clan ties.

Even the mine’s resident priest, a cleric devoted to the dwarven god of secrets under the mountain and untapped riches, proved susceptible to the madness. Forsaking his deity for a darker god of old, the cleric—now known as Greedyguts—called down evil powers to smite his fellows and claim the mine’s gold for himself.
