Starstone Mines
Alias: Hook Canyon; 갈고리 협곡
Difficulty Levels: Easy; Normal; Hard
Release Date: December 6, 2017
As the Yurido villagers vanished mysteriously, a sense of urgency gripped their community, prompting them to dispatch a group of vigilant scouts in search of any trace left behind. Among them, a seasoned scout named Domangi, skilled at discerning elusive trails, discovered the Starstone Mines—an excavation of interwoven suspension bridges and labyrinthine tunnels.
The Starstone Mines, shrouded in an aura of desolation, bore witness to the macabre remnants of those who had fallen victim to its cruel embrace. The skeletal remains of both hapless slaves and ill-fated trespassers littered the treacherous terrain, their bones a haunting testament to the mine's sordid history. Within the belly of this abyss, a pit of unrelenting torment, the wretched were coerced into an existence of perpetual suffering. The Starstone Mines became a crucible of anguish, where the unwilling souls were bound by chains of enslavement, compelled to toil under the oppressive rule of their masters.
Their captors, Volkami, beings akin to savage werewolves, abducted innocent locals with ruthless abandon, thrusting them into the yoke of servitude within the treacherous depths of the mines. These abducted innocents were ruthlessly coerced into extracting precious materials, their hands marred by the ceaseless toil and their spirits crushed beneath the weight of their oppressive captors.
