Chapter 24 With the Grûndén
Extract from ‘The Hidden Peoples’ by Solin D’Teinde.
Not only do they know everything there is to know about the mining of the ground, but they are also celebrated in theit knowledge of water works. It is said that wherever you find a Grûndén you can find water.
They are masters of hydraulic principle. All their mechanical genius is based on water power. They have learnt how to harness this power to great effect. A miner once joked with me, or maybe he was telling the truth, when he said that given enough water he could move a mountain on his own!
