The ore of adamantine is highly valuable. Its discovery is both a boon and a bane; it has a massive value even unrefined, and gives a large number of bonuses to armor and weapons that are made from it when processed. The downside is that digging too deeply will trigger a certain spoiler, among other things, and the fact that it only appears in relatively small quantities.

Its high melting point means you can easily use it to build magma-safe mechanisms and floodgates, but this is not recommended due to its scarcity.

Finding this material will cause a notification, and for the King to appear later on. If you haven't met his requirements, he will appear dressed as a peasant. It is assumed that his requirements are the same in either case.

You always get a piece of raw adamantine when you mine it out, no matter how skilled the miner is.
