Chapter 3 - The Dwarven town

As they walked into the dwarven town they could see the forging area and the mine tunnels and the market districts and the bars and inns. The sord mage looks at Sherly and asks "where is the town hall"? Sherly points to a building carved into the side of the small mountain. They head to it and admire its dwarven statues and the carved front of the place on a sign it was carved in dwarven the keep. The dwarven statues that were 12 foot high holding up the overhang that that lead to 12-foot-tall doors they walk in to a stone hall and there is a desk with 2 dwarves sitting behind it looking bored. As they reach the counter the sword mage speaks in ancient dwarven "who do I talk with to set up camp outside of town and I need a reference for your oldest black smith". The dwarves behind the desk eyes go wide and they both look at each other and back at the human and ask "how do you know our language". The sword mage laughs and says "because I used to live in Mt Suaginar with the dwarves under king Storm hammer". The dwarves look at each other and say with solum sadness "that kingdom fell a thousand years ago". The sword mage responds "I have been trapped for about 3 thousand years so I am sad to hear this. So, who do I talk to about setting up camp and where and the blacksmith"? one Dwarf gets up and runs off to get an elder. A few minutes latter an old Dwarf comes down and says "I am Thunder-hammer grandson of storm hammer". He looks at the sword mage and gasps" it's the sword mage! It has to be where have you been? The world has fallen and you were nowhere to be found! The shadows came back and wiped out most of the people and dragons. Evil is everywhere how are you here"? the sword mage takes some time explaining how he was on mission and got cursed and stuck in his own sword for over 3 thousand years. How when the sword broke, he was set free. And that he was looking for a smith who can forge a living blade again. After hearing the sword mages story Thunder-hammer "says you were called the bringer of light, and the protector of all. No one wanted to say your name in case it led the shadows to you. So, your real name is lost to legends". The sword mage then says "all this makes sense but I can't keep running around nameless I think I will take the name Orion after the old star pattern in the sky". Sherly says "oooh now I can actually put a name with you." Thunder-hammer says "it's a good name and the black smith who can forge you the best blade is Stormgar he apprenticed under Ragnor and I will introduce you as for camp set it up in the clearing besides the smith area".
