Skymania Daily #2
12/1/2020 (I got too excited lol)
Hey there! Welcome to Skymania Daily! In today's second edition, we talk about the origins of the elusive Obsidian Wardens! The Obsidian Mine was recently recovered after being caved in for centuries, and the terrain can prove it! Back in the old days, the Obsidian Mine was full of power, and miners went in to get obsidian fragments, a very valuable and renewable energy source. Skymania back then was very dark, having almost no energy. The Obsidian Fragments were their only hope of saving their town. One day, there was a miner looking to get all the fragments for himself. He wanted to sell them and become rich. In response to this, one miner engineered a being of sorts that could guard the obsidian fragments from getting into the wrong hands. The greedy miner stood no chance against these creatures. He tried and tried to crack their exterior, but no matter what he did, they kept fighting back. Not even a Corrupted Sword could penetrate this monster. Eventually, the greedy miner gave up, and he disappeared. Never to be seen again. The miners kept doing their work with no one to bother them. But that's not the end. Eventually, the Obsidian Wardens trapped the miners in the cave. The cave-in was their doing. Nobody knows why they did it, but the lack of food and water eventually drove the miners mad. We don't know much else, but what we do know is that the glyphs on the wall of the Obsidian Mine are the only remains of the lost miners. Some say their souls got trapped inside of special armor, some say they passed on peacefully. Nobody knows for sure. Maybe you can reclaim the Obsidian Fragments and forge them into weapons and armor to help you on your journey? We'll have to find out.
The Obsidian Mine and the Obsidian Warden are available in the 0.8 update to Skymania. Head to the mines to check it out!
