Latest communication from the gnomish foreign correspondent of Rothikgen:

Good evening.

There have been pub rumours about an old, long forgotten copper mine being
found again somewhere in the northwestern Rothikgen. Bards of Shadowkeep have
been exploring that region since then and can, indeed, confirm those rumours.

The bards' interest in the mine has started to wane after it came evident,
that the place is already taken over by a persistent pudding population. The
School of Folklorists, however, has estimated the discovery of the mine to be
at least "interesting from the cryptozoological point of view". Accoring to
them, a young and promising folklorist has already headed to Rothikgen to
study the mine on behalf of the School.

(Many thanks to Heidel, Darol and Noctur for the tireless guidance they
offered to me when I was figuring things out.)
