Fallen Heroes of Runeforge: The Tragic Tale of Khazstun and the Last Stand
In a tragic turn of events, the Runeforge dwarves faced an unfathomable fate. Their stronghold became a site of unspeakable carnage, leaving only a lone dwarf scout as the bearer of the devastating news. Falling at the feet of Galadrein, the scout's arrival signaled the grim demise of the entire dwarven community.
Amidst the despair, Galadrein's heart sank as he questioned the fate of his dear friend, Khazstun. The scout's somber response revealed a tale of heroism and sacrifice. Khazstun, displaying unwavering bravery, valiantly defended the forge's entrance. Alone, he stood against an overwhelming army, absorbing countless arrows with resolute determination. With each mighty swing of his warhammer, he felled enemy combatants, including their general, in a display of unmatched courage. However, Khazstun's injuries eventually overwhelmed him, and he succumbed to his wounds, leaving behind a legacy of indomitable spirit.
The dire situation left Galadrein with a burning question - how to reach Runeforge and potentially salvage what remained. The dying scout, aware of the imminent danger, urged Galadrein to flee, for the enemy horde was swiftly approaching.
Though it could mean his life Galadrein stayed by the dwarf's side waiting for his reply. Laughing at the shear stubborness of Galadrein the scout revealed that the entrance to Runeforge. He revealed that the entrance is forever untouched by the sun's rays, though in the light of the moon upon it, it will illuminate, this will serve as a sign, a beacon of entrance. Furthermore, to gain passage, Galadrein needed to speak a specific word, a word chosen for its significance and power (spoiler). Despite his desire to save his fallen comrades, Galadrein realized the urgency of the situation and reluctantly began to retreat.
As Galadrein darted through the surrounding woods, the pursuing horde relentlessly pursued him. With every step, he unleashed arrows upon his relentless foes, desperately trying to buy himself precious moments.
Yet, as Galadrein's shots rang true it was not nearly enough to change the fate of the fallen dwarf. The horde caught up with the dwarf, powerless to do a thing. The brave dwarf met his tragic end beneath the relentless stampede of their malicious forces. Galadrein made haste amidst the chaos, his heart heavy with grief, yet determined to honor the fallen and seek the remains of his fallen friend within the depths of Runeforge.
