Content[]

A direct descendant of the mule packs imported by Etan Stonebridge, 'Mags' was one of the most remarkable animals ever to tread the Glitterdelve's stony passages.

Preferring to wander the darkness of the mines than be above, she often would chew her way free of her restraints, only to be found hours later standing near exposed veins of gold. In time, other miners began to experiment with 'Goldsniffer' Mags' gold-homing nose, discovering to their fortune that she possessed an uncanny knack of gravitating to undiscovered deposits of rare metals.

But Mags could also be temperamental, and sometimes demonstrated her pique by leading miners to drill barren shafts which the locals began to call 'Mag Holes.' Beloved for her unusual talent, she easily would have been remembered in the history books of the Glitterdelve, but it was her actions during the Great Blast of 943 which would forever ingrain her into the hearts and minds of her keepers.

Following the accidental ignition of unvented gases in a newly hewn coal shaft, the passages of the mine became a howling death trap of flame and flying rock for those trapped within.

Whether disoriented by the blast, or truly perceiving what had occurred, Mags broke free from her restraints and plunged into the roiling black smoke of the mine, even as stunned dwarves and men bolted from the fury of the roaring catastrophe.

Vanishing from the sight of terrified onlookers for nearly a quarter hour, Mags at last stumbled from the mine, dragging three half-dead miners by the trailing rope of her broken harness. Able only to stagger a few yards from the entrance with her tremendous burden, 'Goldsniffer' Mags collapsed in a wheezing heap, never to rise again.

Having pulled the last survivors of the Great Blast to safety, Mags died the following morning, surrounded by weeping men who knew her for the one-time miracle she truly was.

Eighteen years later, the monument to her final heroism would be constructed at the very spot she died.
