*Bazian approaches the lava bridge and looks upon the fledgling city that is being mined from the rock. He takes a deep breath and slowly crosses the bridge, as he has become weathered with age. Upon reaching the inner wall he spots his friend, Hogarth. After a long conversation with him, he catches up on the happenings with the dwarven people. His heart sinks as he hears of the continuing bickering of his brothers.
He sighs and turns to Hogarth and says as he departs, "Some t'ings never change..."
Bazian slowly walks over to the tavern. He grabs an ale from the barkeep and carefully sets his tankard on the table, as to not spill it. He gets out a quill and paper and begins to write as he sips on his ale.
Me brot'ers, it 'as been many a year since I 'ave spoke wit' you. Many ov ya might ov t'ought t'atd I 'ad left ya er jus' died. But I be writin' t'is teh tell yah t'atd I be back. But alas.. meh bones beh old 'nd tired, I cannae lead meh brot'ers into battle. T'is is w'y I beh appointin' t'e son ov Valen t'er lead t'e Mighty Blackaxe Clan. 'e beh a good strong lad 'nd will lead ya well. I will still beh 'round t'ough to guide 'im 'nd t'e rest ov ya.
T'ere 'as also sumt'in' else t'atd 'as come to my attention. It seems t'atd t'ere 'as been yet again moar bickerin' between t'e clans. W'en will ya laddies ever git along..? Ya lads are dwarves, eh? No point in fightin' eachot'er. Ya 'ave plenty ov t'ins' to beh angry 'bout udder t'en yerselves. Fightin' among eachot'er will git yer no w'ere. I'd jus' saddens meh 'eart to see brot'er against brot'er yet again...
