Success

The pulse of the Principles

[...] the Principles shifted with the pieces of the chessboard. You recount the moves [...] over there is Bishop's Rest [...]; that near the shore is Night's Folly [...]

In return, the miners regale you with stories of their previous labours across the zee. [...]

[...]


Failure

Tall tales

[...] that shape on the horizon is the Midnight Fork[...] That glistering hillock is the Grave of Creams[...]

It is clear that the miners do not put much stock in these stories, but they do mark down the locations nonetheless – even if they don't pay you for them.
