With fire and sword, Odo Heavyheart reclaimed Mithril Mines from the monstrous creatures that overran it and slew his clan. Many allies were lost in the fight -- all hail the fallen heroes! -- but once again, the mines ring properly with the sound of dwarven hammers, and Odo is restored as Odo Orecrusher. The struggle, however, is not over. Rumblings were felt, arising from depths so primal and unknown that even the dwarves hesitate to explore them. As the tremors grew more insistent, a troubling question arose in council -- what if the creatures that swarmed upward and overran the mine were not raiders seeking loot and carnage, as had been presumed? What if they were fleeing the deeps, seeking safety nearer the surface?
His clan's hope rests on those heroes, and on one other thing … The long-ago promise of Queen Peregrine, matriarch of the Orecrushers. According to the Qonagnsaga, a talisman was entombed with her. Its power was forgotten ages ago, but not the promise -- "When survival teeters on the pick's point, come to me for aid."
