Herzog Mine

Herzog Mine is a location in Point Lookout. Herzog Mine is set in the rock, to the south of the Ark & Dove Resting Grounds and south of the Coastal Grotto.

Background
The Herzog Mining Site was named after an old man named Herzog, the owner of the mining site who put the miners through poor working conditions. If you talk to Kenny who lives in the mine, he states that one day the workers just stopped working and sat down, probably referring to a strike. Herzog wasn't very happy when he heard about what they were doing so he blew up the entire site with a "million million tons" (may be referring to a nuclear device, as those are measured by tons of TNT equivalent, although this is unlikely due to the relatively small amount of damage to the mine) of dynamite according to Kenny. Kenny's exaggeration here is apparent, but there is a large amount of collapsed rock with many skeletons visible inside showing signs of an explosion and subsequent cave-in. After he detonated his explosives, Kenny says that old man Herzog hanged himself.
