Olek
"Well, that is quite a tale Miranda," Olek begins. "I don't dream of dragons and battles myself. Still, I imagine it must be a truly heroic sight - seeing a dragon in person. I don't know if any still live around these parts anymore. Perhaps one day I will see one myself," he adds wistfully, taking another mouthful of Gunderg's.
"I am surprised you have met another Dwarf in your short life. We don't travel much beyond our lands, and live around others far less. You mention common complaints by our own tales - that we are grumpy, brash and boastful. It isn't true, I tell you. We simply grow tired of other races seeking shortcuts to real achievements. That way leads to demon worshipping and the dark gods. Still, I am the first to leave my stronghold in generations, which means your father's father did not know any of my kin. Maybe my kin are different to other Dwarves that live in these parts. This title is not an achievement I am proud of...though I must also add that it feels as if Moradin's will has driven me forward, to new regions. Perhaps we have all been gathered in one place at the will of the gods themselves?"
