Indeed they would have to stop at places to resupply for their journey. Going to Flagdon's people in the mountains to the south would be the most logical place to go for supplies, and perhaps information on the Dwarf that had been given the keystone. Any information would be useful, especially if they had to take to sea and they found land beyond the sight of man. Any that might inhabited the land beyond might have stories of such a dwarf. Thorgan and Lotharn could see t he logic of it, besides it would give them a chance to see the Dwarven city. Thorgan had never been to one and had heard of how grand they were.<br/><br/>As they settled in for the night Thorgon was wondering about the land to the west. He had heard from Lotharn , Allassiel, and Pegawen of the war there but not much about the people. He knew of the Shire and Gondor and the Rohan, but there had to be other kingdoms and of course the Elves as well. What other stories did they have of t heir lands beyond the Great Plain to the West. "I to would like to know some of these stories." he looked over at Allasea. She seemed to not want Pegawen to be telling the stories. They had time before they all needed to seek their bedrolls. "Tell us of the dwarfs of your lands. The one you mentioned.... Thorin Oakenshield. Now that sounds like an interesting person."<br/><br/>"Aye he does." Flagdon said. Such a name means he did something grand." he sat down by the fire and looked at the Elves, interest in his eyes.<br/><br/>"Thorin?" Merry asked. "Isn't that the name of the Dwarf that Bilbo wrote about?"<br/><br/>Lotharn laughed. "Yes indeed it is. It in itself is a tale of bravery, cunning and adventure. Bilbo did write it all down when he finally returned home." He looked around the campfire at those not from the west. "Another story of a Hobbit that showed great courage and resorcefulness." He looked to Pegawen. If any were to tell the story it would be her.
