There has always been a friendly rivalry between the dwarves of the Greystones and the silver elves of the Kingdom of the Silver Leaves. The Transformation and other recent events have pushed this competition to heights. The elves have expanded more into the south half of the Greystones, which has not been well received by the thanes of the Greystones.

The High Thane of the dwarven metropolis and capital city of Milo began restricting access to the dwarven cities/delves soon after her father died, tragically (during an attack on Milo), much to the chagrin of those who would do business with the dwarven kingdom. Sannl Blackforge has been a just but firm ruler since inheriting her title.

More to come...
