When he was satisfied that no one was watching or listening to them, he stopped and said, ::I will speak plainly. I do not generally like smalls; nor do I trust them. Yet nor do I approve of the Giant Alliance and our raids on your people. Our actions have made you a considerable threat to my people, when we had formerly held a long peace, as it should be. You have shown that are not unwilling to seek a peaceful solution, and yet your efforts our blocked at every turn. It frustrates me, as I am sure it frustrates you.::He sighed a deep rumble and went on, ::And worse! I believe in the honesty of stones, which will not lie to you. We are told that Thane Arnak will not speak to any smalls, but not three days ago, a group of you were allowed in by the Castellan. Three months ago, two were made my Thane's advisors. Now he is acting strangely, and though I am his cousin, I cannot speak to him directly. Utanu Three-Eyes says that he has been blessed by Ogremoch, but I do not know. Or if he is, I do not know if that is a good thing.::He looked at his feet, knowing that he had just spoken sacrilege aloud to strangers, and he was ashamed. He quickly changed the subject, ::Thane Arnak's sister, Belastraya is the Castellan. She is pushing us deeper into the Alliance of the Ordning. I do not know who is behind the 'plan', or what its ultimate goals are, but I know by order of the Orning, that the responsiblility must lie with King Snurre Iron Belly of the Obsidian Hall. The Ordning goes higher, but as you know, Lord Thyffon abandoned Chief Nosnra at the Steading and no one has seen a Storm Giant in four hundred years.::</blockquote>
