“The dwarves of the Kummer Mountains are decent and honest folk. It was worse in the old days – during the reign of Bothild the Vile and Greedy – when they dug too deep in their miserable mines and unleashed nameless horrors on the world. But then again, what treasures they found! They unearthed heaps of gold, silver, shimmering emeralds, and crystals the size of a goblin’s head. Apparently, it’s all still down there in Bothild’s Lode, in the far southwest.”
The ravine ends in a rock wall where a stone gate, no doubt magnificent in its day, now hangs wearily on broken hinges. A faint light seeps through the gate whose beautiful runes have been destroyed by vandals.
