The bounty of Blackwell mountain:

The impending apocalypse and end of civilization as we know it may be an impediment to business for many. For Jarvis, it simply reinforced an almost religious zeal that while Avatar taketh with one hand, he giveth with the other. Residents of Blackwell may have noticed an ever more feverish pace to his activities: hurrying to and from the mountains with hardly as much as a hello, copious armfuls of ore in tow. Frustrated by the dwindling deposits of the Blackwell mines, Jarvis had headed further and yet further still into the wild and mountainous regions of Blackwell, risking peril at every turn. Initial prospecting had been discouraging, yet he persevered ever onwards.

As rain poured down on another seemingly uneventful day of hard toil, a glimmer shone out like the absent sun on this gloomy day. His pickaxe dug further into the mountain side, gold dust sprinkling onto the damp ground. He blinked questioning himself.... was this a fatigue induced mirage? He quickly redoubled his efforts, extracting more of the substance to be certain.

"GOLD! Tha'r be GOLD in these hills!" he cried out, in jubilation, before glancing around furtively. He greedily scooped up his find, rushing to the forge. This would have to be a closely guarded secret... yet, minerals alone wouldn't be enough.

Soon posters started appearing triumphantly around Blackwell, stating:

"ADVENTURERS, MILITIAMEN AND PRIVATE CITIZENS ALIKE -

PUT MORE THAN HIDE BETWEEN YOU AND THE UNDEAD.

MILLER'S MINECRAFT IS NOW STOCKING A WIDE ARRAY OF SPLENDID AND CURIOUS METALS, GUARENTEED TO SAFEGUARD YOUR LIFE AND YOUR FORTUNE. SETTLE FOR NO LESS THAN THE BEST. FAIR GOODS AT FAIR PRICES"

Miller's hunt for true wealth and power however, had just begun...
