Finding much wealth the mines nearby, the dwarves fastidiously scrounged every last precious gem and mote of precious metal. As it began to dry up, though, the foreman Rubarkorrn was approached by a dark and deceitful devil who dwelled deep in the dwarves' den. Rubarkorrn was dismayed that the mines would soon be empty and the wealth they had found would reach its limit. The devil, therefore, promised that he could stay for eternity and the riches of the mines would never dry up.Rubarkorrn quickly agreed. Over the next few days, all of the miners slowly died of a mysterious plague; it even wiped out the other dwarves of the town who didn't go near the mines. All of the treasures left by the devil remained untouched. Only Rubarkorrn stays there, bound by his pact with the devil to stay for eternity; he now finds no solace in the riches he knows dwell beneath his town.The village was left abandoned after the residents died, but it was later recolonized by humans due to the efficient location and the nicely built stonework that remained. When Rubarkorrn walks the streets, no one can tell if he is still alive, nor do they ask. He walks solemnly and gravely, reminiscing the curse he put on his clan, but he mostly wonders selfishly if he will ever be free to leave this town, or this world.When adventurers pass through, they ask about the one building that looks to be untouched for hundreds of years—a contrast to the beautiful arts, decorations and newer structures around the town. Some residents known Rubikorrn's name, and some even know his story. However, when asked, most simply gesture to the old, run-down building and say, "That? That is the Cabin of the Bound Dwarf."~Next: Ver'Kheru: City of the Tigers</blockquote>
