Reports from the Hammer

[Dezza]

*Missives arrive in Port Hampshire to the Hammer based at the Hall of Dorand from the Hammer in SHoufal and word filters out into the general populace*

Hammer o' Dorand Grentham,

I'm sendin this hasty missive caus I bring word ta ya of tha occurances inna the Berhagen mountins anna even in our own mines unda tha earth. As ya know the last few years tha Mountins ave been hit with many minor rumbles causin little damage but more annoyances fer us dwarves. But lately things ar goin awry. Bloomin rocks are movin all o'er tha place. Even comin alive in tha mines anna chasin out tha miners. Giants are bloomin restless to, we bin seein em close ta Shoufal of late and e'en clashes wif em a number of times. Looks like theys got a new leader like...some giant called the Son o' the Earth.

What concerns me too is that I tried ta call on Dorands power o' tha Earth ta smite some giants in a recent battle ana while I felt 'is presence in me tha magic didna come.  Tha Earth answered alright but the bloomin things attacked us instead. Aint right...Got me rightly worried.

Oddest thing but, was after we retreated the giants turned on each uthu fer a while. Damn odd.
Anyways we're getting the boy's all geared up..reckon we got a battle comin wif them giants anna this so called Son o' the Earth.
