Gnisis Eggmine is a three-level kwama egg mine situated in the town of Gnisis.

This egg mine has more than its usual share of interest (considering that egg mines usually are of no interest at all). Unfortunately, the economy and food supply of the town depend on the mine, and its kwama queen has caught the Blight. Relations between the polyglot Imperial, Orcish and Dunmer staff are strained following the recent murder of a miner. The delvings of the kwama miners have uncovered an entrance into the lost Dwemer ruin of Bethamez.

Notes

  • In the Underground Stream area, there is a corpse at the bottom of one of the pools of water, Mansilamat Vabdas. Lugrub's Axe lays beside him. His ghost wanders in the same area.
  • Also in the Underground Stream area is an Athletics skill book, The Ransom of Zarek, on a wide ledge close to the river entrance.

Edit: Nevermind, I think I'll put this on hold to keep a larger focus on Caldera for the time being, I have plans for some of the other towns too, but Caldera needs to get done first, and there aren't enough assets as of yet for the hives.

I'd like to claim this, and possibly the town too at some point, depending on if that claim is still active or not. The concept art for the Gnisis Eggmine made it more of a large Kwama hive along the outer side of the cliff-face, rather than being dug into a cave like most other kwama hives. It would be nice to give it the more organic hive material seen in the original concept, with bits of stone from the cliff in between. I'll see what I can do retexturing current assets to make the hive, although I believe Kwama hives are to get new assets, I'm not sure about that though.

Gnisis is the love child of AndyNev, so best ask him.
he was twiddling his thumbs for more unique West Gash assets.

As for Kwama Mine external assets, heres the only 2 new ones so far.

If the mine is taken in that direction, it would be interesting to find a way to have the kwaama come out of the mine into the town, or failing that, make the mine into  a tunnel through the mountains, allowing them access to the wilderness ;)
