Quotes
| Thousands of years ago, when you manlings were in furs, my ancestors built mighty Karaks throughout these mountains. Many a Dwarf toiled beneath the ground to raise up citadels such as this, many clans made their home in this mountain, much cheer and many victories were sung in these halls. Karak Skygg was once a jewel in the crown of Karaz Ghumbul, but in their venerated wisdom, my ancestors chose to return to the heartland of Karaz Ankor. They sealed the gates with powerful runes and blessed the halls. The Runepriests declared the mountains accursed and departed. |
