Burrowers

Lore

In the time before the First Demon Scourge of Boletaria, the ancient Burrowers are the ones who dug out Stonefang Tunnel, the elaborate Tunnel City below the smithing grounds, and created the Temple of the Dragon God at the base of the mine. Unlike the current Excavators (the Burrowers descendents who mine their ancestors tunnels for ore), the Burrowers were led by a King.

The Burrowers were pagans who believed the huge dragon skeleton at the base of the mine was a God which caused the bones of dragons to become the flaming ore dragonstone. So worried were they that the Dragon God would be reborn that they molded an elaborate temple to both appease and seal in the Dragon God. As an added precaution the Burrowers constructed two large magically enchanted harpoon guns on either side of the molten pit and forged the Dragon Bone Smasher, a weapon capable of slaying dragons by crushing their bones.

Also sealed in with the Dragon God was an ancient fire Demon. The Demon may refer to Flamelurker or it may just be the Burrowers' explanation for the unseen force that caused rock to become molten lava.

Dragon Bone Smasher
A bladeless, thick mass of iron used for smashing.
According to the ancestors of Stonefang's excavators, it's said this weapon was created to face dragons, and is imbued with magic to protect the wielder from fire.

Dragonstone
Dragon bone fossilized by lava. Enhances straight swords, axes, hammers, and so on.
An ore that applies the power of fire to a weapon. Weapons can be strengthened by Dragonstones up to a maximum of level 5.

The Monumental Dialogue
In order to mend the fabric of what land still remained,
we entrusted six elders with six precious Archstones.
One to the king of a small yet diligent land,
one to the king of the burrowers underground,
one to the wise queen of the great ivory tower,
one to the chieftain of lost and ill-fortuned souls,
one to the shaman of the tempest-worshipping shadowmen.
And the last to the great giants of the Northern Lands.

Scirvir the Wanderer Dialogue
There is a temple beyond here, below the ground.
It is a work of art, molded by the ancient burrowers to appease the bones of dragons.
As a precaution, a broad sword which can crush bone and slay dragon is stored in the temple.
Truth told, it is the laughing stock of many a swordsmith. They say it's as blunt as a bludgeon.

Filthy Man Dialogue
Deep below this mine, there's a dragon shrine filled with dragon bones.
