For countless millennia, the dwarves of the Fifthling
Kingdom have defended the stone gateway into Girdlegard. Many and
varied foes have hurled themselves against the portal and died
attempting to breach it. No man or beast has ever succeeded. Until
now ...
Abandoned as a child, Tungdil the blacksmith labors contentedly in
the land of Ionandar, the only dwarf in a kingdom of men. Although
he does not want for friends, Tungdil is very much aware that he is
alone - indeed, he has not so much as set eyes on another dwarf.
But all that is about to change.
Sent out into the world to deliver a message and reacquaint himself
with his people, the young foundling finds himself thrust into a
battle for which he has not been trained. Not only his own safety,
but the life of every man, woman and child in Girdlegard depends
upon his ability to embrace his heritage. Although he has many
unanswered questions, Tungdil is certain of one thing: no matter
where he was raised, he is a true dwarf.
And no one has ever questioned the courage of the Dwarves.
