	As part of the [[Cross Into Shadows]] storyline, adventurers were able to visit the ruins of the old dwarven mine in Talador. Undead spirits lingered in the area, including '''red-eyed dwarven miners''' and '''ethereal dwarven sappers''', presumed to be former Egrentek dwarves.

			== Peridot talismans ==

			Dwarves are not generally a superstitious people, but they treat [[peridot]] with great respect. For centuries, beloved tradition among the Egrentek clan held that carrying a piece of peridot would protect against mine disasters, and no Egrentek dwarf would go into the mines without a piece of peridot any more than he would go into the mines without his pickaxe—and, indeed, other clans of dwarves mused that the Egrentek seemed particularly blessed in safety beneath the earth. Among the Egrentek, a peridot stone was a traditional gift from a parent to a child upon the occasion of the child's first mining trip. When Baron Hochstib destroyed part of a mine of Talador, however, hundreds of miner dwarves were trapped and killed in the collapse, and the supposed charm of the peridot stone was dismissed in the dwarven grief.

			Today, a dwarf who carries or wears a peridot stone normally does so because the stones are talismans to remember the dead dwarves of Talador. These dwarves are often suspicious of human intentions and hostile toward non-dwarves.<ref>[https://www.play.net/gs4/info/gems/gem8.asp#Peridot Elanthian Gems: Peridot]</ref>
