Preparations for War

Aye, a new face in Dun Kithas!

Welcome to our mountainhome. It may not be as grand as Grim Batol, but don't let the modest stone fool you?we dwarves here are as sturdy and proud as the mountains themselves.

Still... things haven't been easy of late. The Dragonmaw orcs have returned in full force, and while our warriors are as strong as any to swing a hammer, we're sorely outnumbered.

Magistrate Hurdam Toughhand is leading our efforts. He's ordered any able-bodied adventurer?such as yourself?to report directly to him. You'll find him in the Magistrate's Hall, just up the path behind me. Big stone building, hard to miss. He's usually on the bottom floor, in the Council Hall.

Go on then, lad. Dun Kithas could use another strong arm.

Welcome!

Ah, good?another strong back and keen blade.

I hope your travels were light and that you enjoy your stay in Dun Kithas, though there'll be little rest here, I fear. There's work to be done, and no time to waste.
