When shattered the mountains
And roared the seas
When shook the earth
And tumbled the trees
The dwarven holds
And spirits were broke
Til found again
The crown of our folk

• After six years, his family finally tracked him down. By then he was a valued soldier and warrior, and he insisted on staying, despite his father's threats of being disowned.
  • Lord Gunther Bearking and Farrus repaid his loyalty with the gift of a war-bear of his own, whom he raised for two years.
• At the age of 52, he has taken a hiatus from the military at the request of his family (his mother in particular) when he learned that his brother had returned.
