After learning that a small company of Longbeards has made camp in Skarháld, Dori hopes to learn more of the fate of his brother's expedition.
'I never thought to see Tharrazhâr with my own eyes....'
Dori looks around and appears lost in thought for a moment.
'Long ago, these mountains were rich and little explored, ${PLAYER}, but in his wisdom, Thorin I reshaped them into the Dwarf-kingdom of Grárik. It flourished for a time and great wealth was found beneath the peaks of the Grey Mountains, but that very wealth proved the doom of Grárik. Drawn by a powerful greed, it was the dragons of the wastes beyond that laid siege to Grárik. First fell Ablâk-khadar, the Stormwall, and its forges were extinguished. Second fell Tharrazhâr, and its keep was shattered. Third fell Aglâmbazar, the great Glimmerdeep, and it was there Smaug the Golden made his lair. Last fell Thikil-gundu, the Steel Keep and seat of Grárik, and I need not name the great cold-drake who slew King Dáin I and his son, Frór, along with countless others. The Dwarf-kingdom of Grárik was no more.
'I tell you this so you understand, ${PLAYER}. Tharrazhâr... bah, Skarháld, belongs to Durin's Folk!
'Are there any other Longbeards here in the remnants of Grárik? If Zádokh Flint-eye has not spoken true, gold will be the least of his troubles.'
