The city of Greystone buzzed with activity. With the looming threat of war and the promise of prosperity from the newly discovered ore deposits, every citizen played a part. The forges burned bright, soldiers trained day and night, and the streets echoed with purpose. Among them, Malrick walked with intent, his merchant's eye scanning the crowds.
Lucas had entrusted him with a critical mission: to gather willing workers to mine the labyrinth and the iron-rich mountains beyond. As a man who valued people as much as gold, Malrick knew this wasn't a task to take lightly.
He set up a recruitment booth in Greystone's central square. A large parchment detailed the job requirements and rewards:
"Miners Wanted: Strong, Enduring, and Brave. High Wages. Guaranteed Protection. Housing Provided."
