Zeke's Gold

The Story:

In a mine somewhere in Cool Ranch lies a vast wealth of Gold. It was mined by a man named Zeke...see Zeke he was one of best prospectors of the Cool Ranch Gold Rush age. They say his descendants still roam the Spiral...searchin' for Gold and all kinds of wealth. But the legend remains....Zeke was the richest mine owner but he also loved ancient things...what's more lucrative to an old miner than ancient gold? Zeke came into contact with a seller of ancient gold taken from a Leprechaun. The man told him "This gold is worth more than a King's hoard, legend even says it can grant you a wish, but there is one thing you must never do, never tell anyone about this gold, if you do....to speak of the gold is to speak of the owner to which it belongs, invoke their name and they will come to claim what was once theirs." Zeke thinking the man crazy bought the gold and wasted no time telling everyone from his headquarters in Junction to Marleybone and some say even beyond that! Needless to say he was dead wrong in calling on those ancient beings...the details are lost with every Wizard, Marleybonian, and their Pa adding their own take to the story. But...legend says the Leprechauns in which the gold originally belonged to came to Zeke's mine in Junction to claim their gold. A battle ensued...Zeke being as rich as he was hired mercenaries from MooShu to protect his mine...in the end though it was not enough and with his small force defeated the Leprechauns were fixin' to take back their gold. Zeke though remembered that you could wish on the gold, so he took up a gold piece, and wished that the gold remain his forever. It was at that moment that the mine began to collapse on itself....Leprechaun, miner, mercenary, heck even the wind horses from MooShu called Ki-Rin couldn't all escape and were buried alive. So the legend ends...Zeke and his mine were lost....seems like the power he called on not only collapsed the mine but the whole mountain side around Junction. Some say though, that Zeke hid pieces of his hoard in places all around the Spiral, and if you can collect all of them....you'll find Zeke's Lost Gold Mine.....
