-Unknown Vilend scribe, on seeing a war-fortress of the Kharaksir Dwarves take off*

as Dragonfire ignites the skies."

-Drahmus, a prophet of Mahanir, giving the prophecy of the Fall of Northmoor.

"Listen, if I could leave this place behind I would, but these folks here, for better or worse? They're who I belong with. I'll be alright. You too. Now get on out of here."
