Extiguishing the heart of the Volcano and freeing the third Sword of Glory

Posted in Dwarves, Gavin Wel, Old Khepathia, Orotyr on July 28, 2011 by coyoteandthunder

Following the earthquake and great wave that completed a thirty year, landscape changing series of cataclysms that transformed coastline of Gavin Wel, concluded with the extinguishing of the ancient, artificial volcano Eyrthiria. For five thousand years, the giant cathoid mine that was Eythiria pumped heat into the valley of Dreamwater and now those days are done. The reactor at the center of the volcano was set to meltdown, threatening all life in the Dreamwater, and were it not for the Heroes of Gaulthum, the Khast of the Flaming Shield, it surely would have. The third sword of Glory, named AhkinAhteyn, born at the birth of the volcano is now freed from its forge and presently at Gaulthum in the hands of King Thurgiss.

Heroes all. Fargrim, Tordek, Einin, Dolathyn, Flynt and Gruff. Six dwarves escorted Bergholt the Champion of Moradin to the bottom of Eyrthiria to destroy the ancient reactor at the center of the Volcano. Long was the journey, and arduous and indeed, mortal. Flynt was killed on the bridge of Menstiritho. Gruff was killed in the final battle with AniKai at the seven-lobed cave.

Palademar the tiefling was married into the Mumbai through his wife, Reamna Mumbai, second niece to the queen Teak. Consumed with meglomania, Palademar lead a force of forty tielfling to form a alliance with goblins of Orotyr to take Einholdt. He convinced Reamna that the mountain was their legacy and could be a home for their people. The dwarves proved too much a fight and the goblins turned on the tiefling to the folly of all.

It was Anikai, who having so long evaded the Sherriff of the Dreamwater, who hatched a plan to defeat Corollon Larethian and Bergholt of Moradin’s plan to free the Third Sword of Glory. Foiled by the Khast of the Flaming Shield from Gaulthum, AniKai was supposedly crushed by the entombing of the reactor at Eytheria, but not before killing Gruff the RunePriest.

Gruff, Runepriest of Gaulthum

Gruff and his Khast of the Flame Shield march from the dwarven city of Gaulthum toward the ancient center of Eyrtheria, the artificial volcano. Following the worst natural disaster in a thousand years, the great quake and the great wave of Gavin Wel, just before the the Summer Equinox of year 1135, it was learned by the dwarves that the reactor at the center of the volcano is in danger of melting down. Should that happen, certainly it would mean the end of all life in the Dreamwater. Gruff, the Runepriest, has a great task ahead of him: decifering runes that are five thousand years old, an instruction manual to a most deadly device writ in a dead language.
