I could never have told that by seeing you so many times delivering beer at the Inn”  He’Rak says to the dwarf who snorts back at him.“Me ears an’ eyes do nae work as well in the overlands* as under, boy.  Me be a dwarf, Aye!”  Krueger growls in what only a friend who actually knew him would consider a friendly way.Sonriks words comfort Jaeden immeasurably as the singer smiles back at him.  “Indeed, milord, indeed.”  He replies.  “Come then, we should hurry on, nightlite is neigh upon us.  Have you a request of me?  I know many songs.”“AYE! Be ye singin’ “Thauron’s Run?”   The dwarf practically shouts, excited about the tale of the great dwarven paladin who lived 3,000 years ago… who, coincidentally, wielded the same sword, D’Juticor, as Kendrian.  “Of course, master dwarf.”   Jaeden says with amusement, having entertained the dwarf with the song a dozen times before, for indeed, Krueger did love the song above all else.Jaeden’s melodic notes spring the troupe onward.  The tempo of “Thauron’s Run” was quicker and more upbeat, putting a bit more length into the company’s strides as the sun sunk behind the high, snow capped mountains in the west.  The land darkened as cast into shadow, though the sky above was still blue with hints of purple and pink.  The dwarf sings rowdily along, plunging onward with “rawr”s and “grrr”s in place of words of the song that he doesn’t know, which was a good many of them.  Two hours later, as the sky turns black with the night, Gemble announces that he sees the river ahead. "We should set camp here.  We really can't make more time tonight in the dark."  Gemble says to the others as each steps forward to view the babbling river, Lomus.  Lomus is some 40 feet wide, but somewhat shallow and rather quick moving.  Boats do not come this far upstream because of that fact.  Overall, it is a very pretty view.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*Overlands is often what the surface world is called, especially by the inhabitants of the  “Underlands” (the subterranean world).  Though most Overlands races think of dwarves as living among them because of trade and treaties, dwarves themselves consider themselves an Underlands race.  Typically speaking, Underlands races are evil, and so, dwarves want nothing to do with them.</blockquote>
