   The Mine Overseer

1. Warden Maera Thornwick

   “North, in the Stonehollow Hills, there is a copper mine that closed forty years ago. The picks are still ringing down there. Every night.”

2. Warden Maera Thornwick

   “The Ironhold stone was kept in tune by a bell. It cracked the night the mine went wrong. Brannoc can cast another, but he needs iron. A great deal of it. More than one pair of hands can carry.”

3. Warden Maera Thornwick

   “Take ingots to Brannoc, as many as the town can spare. And someone must go down that mine and tell the foreman his shift is over.”

1. Warden Maera Thornwick

   “Brannoc needs iron for the bell, and the Overseer is still at his post. The hills are north, past the Ironhold road.”

1. Brannoc Ironhand

   “Hear that? THAT is a bell. Forty ingots, and not one of them wasted. They'll hear her in Ironhold every dusk from now till the hills fall down.”

2. Warden Maera Thornwick

   “Three stones, and the hills are quiet. Brannoc has not stopped smiling. It is unsettling.”

3. The Chronicle

   “Three of seven. In the Old Copper Mine, forty years of lanterns go out together, gently, like a crew going home.”
