Contents[]
The caverns of Glitterdelve were first described in the journals of the famous Imperial cartographers, Fedwyrr and Klars. After the founding of Ehb, dwarves migrated to this region, and they extended the natural caverns into a vast network of mining tunnels, discovering iron, coal, precious metals, and gems. The wealth of Glitterdelve financed the growth of the early kingdom and transformed the city of Stonebridge, which lay downriver from the mines, into a major trading hub.
In the middle of the 10th century, the miners dug deep enough to unleash explosive vapors, which rapidly accumulated in the tunnels, causing the Great Blast of 943. Hundreds of miners were killed, and most of the existing tunnels and caverns collapsed. (The legend of Goldsniffer Mags—the pack mule who saved the lives of several trapped miners—dates from this event.)
Following the Great Blast, the dwarves were forced to dig all their tunnels anew, and in so doing, they reinvented the art of mining. Dwarven geomancers built a vast magical system—the Stonestream—to regulate the flow of water and air through the mines, preventing the buildup of explosive gas. This system is still in place today.
