Once the music died, leaving some silence, Leathas replies to the half-elf "I never told I was a dwarven loremaster. I told I have been interested in legend and myth, the folklore of the world. That field contain many stories that are mainly just that stories. But underneath, you can usually find a base of truth in it. It is what I seek, to find those legends and the truth behind. My family had many books of folklore, but mainly from elven and humans source. The dwarven section was containing only a few books. That's why I stayed in the library, studying.[SBLOCK]OOC: The player doesn't know the reason, but the character knows, so he will invent one, but if there is a more official reason, tell it, and I'll edit. I am curious to know where come the dwarven bonus against orcs in combat.[/SBLOCK]The name of your song is Darnen Gerr. I don't know the Common translation for the name of the song, I've heard it only once. It is known that the events told in the song would be where the enmity between the orcs and the dwarves have started. I would suggest you to read Strategy and Warfare, written by Dragen Stromrock. It is among the book I have brought back. It talk about a shamefull event for the dwarves that happen a decade before the Darnen Gerr. It isn't clear enough, and I'll need to find more reference, but I think the enmity between the two races come from that time and the Darnen Gerr being only a consequence of that enmity. The dwarves are a proud race and would never allow themselves to be beaten as they have been during that time.I could give you more detail, but I think not everyone is interested to hear it, so I'll come back to the subject we are here: me. To answer Alinis, I am from the nation of Celene. Following a series of event, the nation have close themselves to other nations. That's another reason why I couldn't follow my study at the capital, as very few travellers from outside the nation was allowed to come to the court."[SBLOCK]OOC: I found a far from being official website describing some events in Greyhawk. An elven nation would have been driven off the Vesve forest and many would have travel up to Celene, and some time before Vecna would have been vanquish, the Celene would have sealed there border... I don't know where and when Shackled city happen in Greyhawk, but that was fitting well the motivation of Leanthas wanting to leave his home to seek more knowledge outside the borders.[/SBLOCK]</blockquote>
