#### The Parable of the Mines

And lo, in the land of Ur is a stone of great beauty and size.
And in days of old, this stone was praised by Glitches from from all corners of UR who hailed its visage and immense stature.
Offerings were left for the wondrous sparkling stone, and many came to view its magnificence.
Then one dark day, brigands and naer-do-wells in league with the Rook did come and did attack the blessed stone and did destroy that holy stone and carried it away with them.
A great wailing went up from the worshipers of the stone, and hair was torn and teeth were verily gnashed.
But lo, as the cries of anguish carried up to the ears of the Giants, a miracle was seen to occur and the stone was reborn! Glitchlings cried out in joy, and in the midst of the celebrations of the great resurrection the stone was heard to speak!
"I'm huuuuuge" it spake, and there was much rejoicing in Ur.
And on that day, the Benevolent Order of the Sacred Stone of Ur was created. And Glitchlings everywhere were joyful.
An edict went out from the Protector of the Stone commanding that Glitchlings everywhere praise and worship the Stone, and leave offerings for the Stone.
And only the Priests of the Stone could bring forth the miracle of the resurrected stone, and Glitchlings made many offerings and praised the stone.
The Protectors of the Stone declared that all offerings left for the stone were sacred and could only be touched by those holy enough to approach the stone. And Glitches rejoiced.
And verily, even unto this day those priests of the Benevolent Order of the Sacred Stone of Ur walk among you. And their wrath shall be terrible and full of errors of syntax and grammar should you violate the Sacred Sparkly Stone of Ur.
For they are truly the BOSS of U!!
