Book/Miner's Guidebook

The Miner's Guidebook is a set of rules and guidelines written for workers in the Ardeley Mines. There are several copies of it in the initial room before entering the mines, and several more scattered throughout the saferooms (with a copy or two in the town of Ardeley itself).

All copies are tattered and well-read, on top of being written over two centuries ago. However, they still seem fit for carrying along, if a bit delicate.

-RULES OF THUMB-

1. Always be prepared.

Keep your pack stocked with spare materials to craft and repair tools, create torches, etc.

2. Keep a clock on-hand in order to keep track of time.

3. Upon finding a cavern, always secure it by either lighting it or blocking off darkened sections.

Remember, light is life.

4. Keep staircases at least three blocks tall on each step for ease of access.

5. Be considerate of the environment and other miners. Take only as much as you need for security or to ensure security for someone else.

6. Put up notices where there may be danger, and pay attention to any posted signs for your own safety.

7. If lost, do not panic. Take stock of your surroundings, your situation, and if necessary to block yourself into hiding, mark your spot with a torch so other miners know to help you.

Lanterns should line all explored areas.

Search for them.

8. When taking from community chests, leave what supplies you can for others.

9. Never let your guard down, even in explored areas. Keep your head on a swivel- it may save your life.

10. You are never truly safe.
