'There will be adventures enough for both of us, ${PLAYER}, I am certain of that! I will not look back fondly upon the time I spent in Járnfast, kept from honour and glory, but something at least came from the captivity of my youth. Many were the tales I heard, and many were the maps I studied, and now that we are here among the Grey Mountains I will see these subjects with my own eyes, and thereby make them real!

'There should be a narrow passage to the north-west of here, the Wyrmgap, bored through the very stone by the dragon-kind that came down from the north. Let us see if any of their kin still inhabit the gap, and bring battle to them if they do! I would like to pass through the Wyrmgap to the Withered Heath beyond and see the great Anvil for myself. Many tales tell of the Anvil, and dreams of it have fired my imagination since I was small!'
