Flaglon looked up from his meal. " I know not what you talk of, but the history of the Ax is well known to us all. But that day when the Citadel fell King Silvermane, who the Farmer had given it to suddenly disappeared and with the Ax. No one seen him go, and no one knows where he went. His kingdom went to his oldest son when he did not return. Like the legend of the Ax says, It will appear when it is needed to bring all the dwarfs together again. It is a mighty artifact yet one that seems to have a mind of its own. It will not stay when things have been made right again. The Kingdoms of the Dwarfs are an independent lot and is best not to be bonded together for a long time." he grinned. "We like to try and out do each other and can not do that if we are united all the time. The tale you talk of was a fabracation to explain the loss. There are those that think the Ax made him do it. Why else would a King run off like that." He lifted a flagon of ale to his lips and drank.<br/><br/>"Now you say there be a journel, but not an elvish one. " he looked at the two women. "Well Silvermane's was never found by his people. He was a stickler for recording everything. " he pointed a drumstick at them, "Perhaps in there ye may find a clue." The dwarf then went back to eating, enjoying his food and ale.<br/><br/>Timberlane chuckled and leaned back in his chair and ate some of his food. "Indeed Master Dwarf, it seems that such items always has a way of vanishing. To powerful to have around all the time." he turned to Pegawen, "There is time so there is no rush. Eat and then we will go look for this book. The Ax will come in handy later on, but right now we must concentrate on finding the other stones."
