Journal

The following text is transcribed from the Journal.

Copper and tin conspire well together, forging an alliance to destroy their former friends. The Bronze Pickaxe can shatter the mightiest stone and can mine through more durable ore than bone and stone could ever dream to battle.

The dwarves that Guthix brought with him to Ashenfall, were fond of the Bronze Pickaxe. While iron and steel are sturdier, the Bronze Pickaxe was more readily available and they could risk a little decoration. Many would customise their pickaxes with family crests or a nickname that embodied them well. Often these would make the pickaxe impractical, yet they became a popular heirloom handed down to family members.
