It's a long walk from my native hills, but there is rumor among some of my Dwarvish kin that there are rare minerals in the rock near Thel. Ja, maybe Mithril, even. It is also thought that the Lord of Thel keep is at whiles hard pressed on some of his borders, and a good axe on his behalf might be welcome. It was even said by one among us that Fafnir's spawn--dragons--had been seen. This I must with my own eyes know.

So with the blessing of my kin, I plaited up my long, fair beard that has seen only dust of gold and lesser gems, and have come to Thel to see what is.

Perhaps a wise Dwarf might learn much here, and ja, maybe even where the Mithril is.
