Aetherion

The entrance to the Old Gearstone Mines is marked by a large, crumbling arch made of weathered stone. Above the entrance, the remnants of a faded sign read 'Gearstone Mines - Enter at Your Own Risk'. A faint, eerie glow can be seen emanating from within, hinting at the Aether Crystals that lie deeper inside.

The archway is covered in moss and vines, with jagged stones jutting out in various directions. The ground is littered with debris, and the faint sound of dripping water can be heard from within the dark tunnel. The air is cool and carries a hint of damp earth and rusted metal.
