You spent your days beneath the earth, searching for valuable stone, ore, and crystal hidden within the darkness. Life in the mines taught you to recognize stable rock, follow promising veins, and work safely where a single mistake could bring disaster. Whether employed by a guild, a noble estate, or a frontier settlement, you learned that patience and careful observation often uncover treasures that haste would leave buried.
Those same lessons serve you well as an adventurer. You notice the sound of hollow chambers beyond solid stone, recognize the warning signs of unstable tunnels, and understand the challenges of traveling underground. Where others see only darkness, you see the promise of discovery hidden beneath the surface.
