Message: <blockquote data-quote="simmo" data-source="post: 1401806" data-attributes="member: 9744">We Interrupt This Adventure to bring you the following scholarly excerpt by the noted sage Littleby Cakebeard[Note: this chapter was written by Crater, who plays Littleby Cakebeard]Chapter 1 - Great Dwarven WizardsNot generally renown for their affinity with Magic of The Arcane Variety, it is a little known fact, dear reader, that many Wizards of Great Power and Prestige were, in fact, Dwarves. Due to the stigma surrounding Magic of The Arcane Variety within Dwarven communities, a would-be Dwarven Wizard often finds it appropriate to maintain a Certain Level of Discretion regarding his studies. A Dwarven Wizard, therefore, can sometimes be seen to lead Two Lives, one in which he is a Respectful, Loyal and Hard-Working Member of his Clan, and one in which he is a Legendary Arcane Spellcaster of Epic Power, usually in the guise of a Human, or Elf, or some such race more commonly associated with such curious personages. It would be unethical to name names, but where do you suppose such rare and potent spells as Mordenkainen's Marvellous Mineshaft came from? And who do you suppose invented the first Hewards Handy Pillow-Full-O-Gravel? And why do you suppose it is traditional for all the Greatest and Most Powerful Wizards to wear Beards? It is a truth as old as Moradin's Mumbling Uncle, and as such I ask you dear reader, keep it secret, keep it safe.</blockquote>
