The Egerton Salt Mines are a salt mine in the west of the Springlands, just east of the Ancient Vault - Alchemist. Fell Critters have taken over the tunnels, and much of the site lies in the Shroud. The Hunter sends players here for salt in her first quest, Salt Mine Location. A gambler named Bertram once followed a strange buzzing deep into the rock. A lone Shroud Root grows in the north-west corner of the area.

Lore Pages
"Spores and Sickness" lies beside a silver chest outside a mine entrance. Balthazar writes that the Shroud is made of tiny spores. He believes that building the first Wells and distilling the first Elixir woke a sickness at the earth's core. "My Faculties, Sharp as Ever" lies on a table next to the silver chest. Bertram's friends left while he slept. He pushes on alone towards the buzzing at the end of the tunnel.
