Chunks of jagged rubble pile high, their rough granite edges grinding underfoot, flecked with glittering gold veins that snake through the stone like molten rivers frozen in time. The hoard sprawls vast, coins and nuggets spilling from cracked boulders, their warm metallic sheen catching every flicker of torchlight. Dust hangs heavy in the air, coating the treasure in a gritty veil that clings to fingers like ancient greed.
