The rocky mountains hid many secrets. Without a reliable guide, Rino might not find everything.
If he thought the mountain was barren at first glance because of the lack of plant life, he was wrong. The mountain made up for its lack of appealing appearance with minerals inside the earth. Apart from salt rocks on the surface, Rino found out that he did not need to travel to that deadly monster lair with the womanticore guarding it for regular ores. The rocky mountains had every basic mineral Rino needed, from iron to coal.
This was a promising start.
Strangely, many ravines were hiding in pockets of these mountains that stretched deep within the mountain as if the rocky appearance was merely paper mache. Although plants did not grow on the outside of the mountain, some smaller plants like moss, fern and fungi made these abandoned ravines their homes.
