====== Lorkheim ====== {{ ::lorkheim.png?300|}} [[dwarf|Dwarven]] village located near [[goldbelly_mountain|Goldbelly Mountain]] and [[redtooth_peak|Redtooth Peak]]. Multiple paths lead into the village. Most of the homes in the village are circular in shape. Entrances to the mines can be found on the outskirts of the village. ---- =====Denizens ===== * [[dobrik|Dobrik]] * [[eregrun|Eregrun]] ---- ===== History ====== One thousand years prior, the first [[dwarf|Dwarves]] entered Lorkheim. They had traveled from [[ozogith|Ozogith: Plane of Stone]]. - Ascending Kethra's Steppe (GS-ADV4) ---- ===== Destruction===== The local [[dwarf|Dwarves]] and [[bugbear|Bugbear]] do not see eye-to-eye. A recent raid by the [[bugbear|Bugbear]] have left the village in ruins, burnt to the ground. Villagers lie wounded in the ashes as the mines shoot flames from their entrances. The goal of the [[bugbear|Bugbear]] was clear. They did not come for loot. They came for revenge and destruction. Valuables lie strewn amongst the ashes of the homes and businesses. >//“The Bugbear and Dwarves were once friendly. But now the Bugbear have declared war on all allies of Queen Gimnax. I fear things will only get worse from here.”// - [[eregrun|Eregrun]] - Ascending Kethra's Steppe (GS-ADV4) ---- ===== References===== ==== Ascending Kethra's Steppes (GS-ADV4)==== Entering the village, [[nayo|Nayo]] rushes to aid the locals. Your previous actions may come back to help or haunt you. * If [[dobrik|Dobrik]] is still alive, you see him rallying villagers to aid the trapped [[dwarf|Dwarf]] miners. * Rush to help him and the others. * Look around and possibly loot from the ashes. * Instead, you will encounter [[eregrun|Eregrun]] as he works on [[alpha-zero|Alpha-Zero]]. * Help repair [[alpha-zero|Alpha-Zero]]. * Look around and possibly loot from the ashes. ==== The Scrying Pool (GS-Epilogue) ==== Following the destruction caused by the [[bugbear|Bugbear]], the [[dwarf|Dwarves]] attempted to rebuild the village immediately. [[gimnax|Queen Gimnax]] instead insisted on evacuating the survivors. Those that refused to leave were sent to [[kulbak_prison|Kulbak Prison]]. It will not be rebuilt for another three hundred years. If [[dobrik|Dobrik]] managed to survive the [[battle_of_the_arcazion_pit|Battle of the Arcazion Pit]], the village will be rebuilt in a much quicker fashion, thanks to his connection to the [[gimnax|queen]]. Other stories credit the rebuilding of Lorkheim to [[eregrun|Eregrun]]. He, along with [[construct|Constructs]] that he crafted from spare parts, worked with the [[dwarf|Dwarves]] to hasten the repairs.
