Hours earlier Ed was reading a segment on dungeons and digesting his findings.
A dungeon. It's an entity. It is a monster in its own right. A blessing and a curse.
This was how Ed would summarize dungeons. He based it on the few pages the encyclopedia dedicated to them.
As a monster, they can become a calamity. But they can also become a valuable resource. This did not include things found in chests. What could really make them a resource is the environment or the mobs.
Blurak's cavern was a perfect example. It was filled with veins of elemental crystals of myriad colors. Just like Vorgarag had done, humans used them to make magical devices.
Unfortunately, the book had no blueprints on how to make any of the examples it had provided. The humans' technology was naturally much more developed and advanced than that of the orcs making them very attractive for Ed. But... it was what it was, he moved on.
