An Isekai Story

Deep within the mountain’s core lie the Crystal Mines of Aethelstone, a network of shimmering caverns where the dwarves extract rare, magically potent crystals. These crystals, known as Aethelstones, are used to power Grimstone Hold’s enchantments and fuel their arcane technology. The air is cool and damp, and the walls sparkle with the light reflecting off the crystalline formations. Skilled miners, their lanterns casting long shadows, carefully extract the precious crystals, while enchanted golems haul the ore to the surface. The mines are heavily guarded, as the Aethelstones are a valuable resource and a target for those who seek to exploit their power. The sound of picks hitting stone echoes through the caverns.
