Notes
The sizes (small, medium or large) of Ayleid Ruins, Forts, Mines and Caves are related to the number of zones they contain as follows:
- Small: One zone
- Medium: Two or three zones
- Large: Four or more zones
A few mines are just caverns with some timber framing — they have nothing "mine-related" in them. Most mines have a few silver ore veins. There are no mines anywhere that drop gems or any other kind of special stones.
When you explore a mine, it is easiest to spot ore veins by torchlight (and don't forget to look up!).
