	The mine is named in commemoration of the Battle of Ikka's Tears, a vicious confrontation between the heroes of the Empire and a [[Thule]] expeditionary force that left dozens dead on the plains below the glacier. It may be possible to expand the workings even further, but only the presence of a [[Black_and_white#Prospecting\|significant number of skilled miners]] will be able to determine exactly how rich this mithril find might potentially be. Further prospecting may be a little risky, however. For now, the mine workings are relatively shallow and mostly delve into the stone beneath the ancient glacier - while carefully avoiding the allegedly haunted tunnels that riddle the great wall of slowly moving ice. Expansion may prove lucrative in terms of mithril, but local [[Suaq]] [[mystic\|mystics]] warn against disturbing the ancient Face of Ikka unnecessarily.

	For the moment the worst threat the miners there have had to deal with are the [[Mundane_beasts#Dire_Beasts\|dire beasts]] of the northern wastes - mostly inquisitive dire penguins and grumpy dire walrus - along with the occasional sighting of a prowling [[Mundane_beasts#Big_Cats\|glacier cat]] or hungry winter bear.
