[QUOTE="97mg, post: 7387399, member: 6799460"] [b]Gathering (Metea, Carthum, Annit)[/b] Annit gripped her wound tighter, walking to stand behind her remaining companions, keeping an eye out while Carthum and Metea tried to make sense of the dwarven finds. The rogue hadn’t forgotten of course, that there were more shiny things in here somewhere. It just felt too soon… to loot… when lives were on the line. So Otiroth had dashed down the crevice as well. Probably best not to follow, yet. If it all went quiet, that was when she’d really start to worry. Taking a little time to think, it probably isn’t so strange to find dwarves here. Metea might recall that yes, most of them prefer mountain dwellings far to the north. The odd unsubstantiated rumor also exists that areas near their home might once have been mined. Ores and gems of course. Had they dared continue this during the days of Dolstian Law? A large majority had not… but there was at least one written account of a demi-human being hung for possession of earth’s magical corruption, right? Was it five years back? His own mountain bred kin had dobbed him in, and it created a great rift in their society for the short years that followed. Were the lawmakers hoping to weaken their kind? Was it jealousy that restricted them from picking such low hanging fruit… or something else? Had someone known in advance that a greater threat would soon be on it's way? There was tension in those hills, undoubtedly. Where there are mines, there are small people. In order to teach Suru’s patience and deep respect for life, part of Metea’s education would have been about acceptance and the dangers of false judgement. Many dwarves still live in Kalair and its surrounds, the distant relations of miners who had been attracted to Kalair’s cliffs before laws and council’s wills had come down hard upon violators. Back then it was a free for all. Stake your claim, dig, fight, claim your power or sell it on… So what might bring back a dwarf’s spirit and desire for life? Are the generalizations true, that they are innately attracted to booze, treasures, the safety of solid walls, and good drinking songs before a quick dirty flirt? [/QUOTE]
