The Yyprek Mines

The translation of the Japanese name is unofficial, so it may contain errors. The Yyprek Mines (Japanese: リヨン鉱山, リヨンこうざん, Riyon Kouzan [lit. "Lyon Mines"]) is a location in Lost Kingdoms and is an area found in the Kingdom of Kendaria.

Appearance

The Yyprek Mines are part of a cavern filled with glowing, crystalline stalagmites. Despite the light emanating from these jewels, the mines are still quite dark.

Summary

After the failed audience with King Leod and hearing from a Kendarie Warrior that the Kendarie Runestone was stolen, Princess Katia travels to the Yyprek Mines to find it.

Katia finds a lone, frightened guard who offers to accompany her through the mines. This guard turns out to be the only surviving member of the Royal Guard who went to investigate the Runestone thief's hideout. All the other members were killed by the thief, who is a Puppet Master working for the Enchanter.
