      |  Once home to a thriving Dwarven city, the area now known as    |
      |  the Mountains of Desolation has become a land for the dead and |
      |  appears to hold little to entice the living. The mountains     |
      |  tower high above any of the neighboring cities and cast a      |
      |  lasting shadow on nearby inhabitants. Bards tell the tales of  |
      |  adventurers who have never returned and of seeing creatures    |
      |  that are certainly not in the realm of the living. The dwarves |
      |  that once lived in those mountains are now long gone, replaced |
      |  by rumors of hidden treasure, living legacies, and perhaps     |
      |  even the wandering dead.                                       |
      |                                                                 |
      |                                                                 |
