The mines are located in the northern area of the village. Note that the mines are near, but different from, the Well Cave. Once in the mines you will have to fight trolls, most of which are baby trolls. In order to reach Mundus, the Runekeeper Troll in the east must be defeated to obtain magical runes. (See map, below.) The runes must be taken southwest, past the mine guard corpse and down a curving incline, then used on the portal shrine to lift the nearby the magical barrier. Continue down the passage and use the elevator to enter his chambers.
